Black mucus

2022-11-19 05:37:16
I've been having a cold for almost two weeks and i haven't taken any medication for it. My mucus is greenish transparent but there are small parts of it that are black. It looks like black powder. I do smoke cigarettes sometimes so what could it be? Is it something serious?
