When I try to breathe, my chest feels really tight and it gets worse when I laugh. I'm just lying here in bed and it's super hard to breathe normally. Is this something serious? What should I do about it?

I've been spitting up white mucus throughout the day, and I'm a bit concerned. I'm a smoker, and I used to smoke 5 cigarettes a day, but I've cut it down to 2 now. Lately, I've noticed this white mucus, especially in the morning, and one morning it even looked black. Could this be related to my smoking, or is it something else I should be worried about?
