I am having thick, sticky saliva nowadays. I quit smoking since 1 months. I am using an eye drop'acupat' since 1 month. What is the reason for saliva problem? I am 21 years old.

Actually smoking irritates the internal lining of the upper respiratory tract. This leads to increased mucus production in the upper airways and this is the exact reason for your problem----------------drink more water during the day and start doing alom-vilom pranayam daily for 10 minutes, you will be normal in few days-----------------
