Yellowish Black Spit. Smoking. Cancer?
Hi, my name is Hannin. I smoke and iv smoked other kinds of drugs to but only a few times. I'm 15, iv been smoking since I was 13. Anyways now when I spit the yellow stuff from my throat, it's not yellow, it's like yellowish black. But not everytime I spit its only maybe twice a day this happens to me... And sometimes it doesn't happen at all, but I'm worried, does this mean I have cancer?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query.
Smoking drugs and drugs in general is bad for your psyhical and mental health especailly in such young people. YOu should stop it whether you have or dont have symptoms. This isnt sign of cancer but it is probably caused by smoking. It can be sign of throat infection, lung mucous accumulation or allergy reaction. Later in life cancer can develop of course if you continue with smoking.
Wish you good health, regards.
