Hi lybrate-user, black mucus with cough is a common symptom in smoker, however it needs to be distinguished from clots and some more detailed history. Like quantity, odour, presence of any fresh blood, past history of TB. And how many cigarettes do you smoke.

Nothing so much worry. Continue warm water gargles and avoid smoking. Avoid cold things.
