Hi, hookie. Congratulations on 12 days quit and welcome to the SSC.
Coughing is normal. Your body's beginning to recover from the damage smoking inflicted and cleaning out the accumulated gunk is part of it. Do not be surprised if really yucky dark brown, black, or grey crud starts coming up. That's all the tar and crap that's been deposited over the years.
On the other hand, if it's a dry, non-productive cough you may want to see your doctor. Many people come down with colds, etc. after they quit that they wouldn't have caught when they smoked (it's a temporary thing).
