Can quitting smoking cause breathing problems?

I am a 19 year old female. I wonder if quitting smoking can cause breathing problems?

No. First couple days after quitting, you may cough up more junk because the hair cells in your lungs that help remove junk don't work when you smoke. Quit smoking!
I can't think of how quitting smoking can cause problems. I feel that it is always advisable to quit smoking.
