Hi, it would be nice to know that smoking and having asthma does NOT help your problem. Mucus plug becomes softer and easier to expel when the "inciting" factors are removed, (eg cold dry air, dust and dander, smoke which creates decrease bronchial ciliary hair movement} there is a good state of hydration, and a good mucus softening agent. Bromhexine in tabs or liquid might just help.. ...Try, other wise you might need to consult your physician.
