I am a daily smoker and have been for years. I've noticed that in the past few months I have developed a cough. It basically comes while I am talking and is usually accompanied by phlegm. Obviously I don't like it - does anybody else experience this? any insight would be appreciated. I am thinking about drastically cutting down my use becuase of this. again, any insight would be nice - thanks all.
As you would expect, my lungs were a mess! I got a little Vapor Bros Hands free and used it exclusively for 2 weeks. My cough was TOTALLY GONE! It was worth every penny I spent on it- and I'm low income. Plus, you also get a huge reduction in odor, a vape is more efficient (you use less pot), and the "duff" can be used to "improve" brownies! Get a vape! - Granny:hippy:
wow. thanks for the reply. I am so clueless about this.
Can you please tell me what a "vapor" is? is it easy to use, how much is it, etc. guess I can do online research but I'd rather hear from someone who actually uses it! Just want more details if you don't mind. thanks so much!
do you smoke cigarettes??
I don't smoke ciggies :(
But I love the bud. However, I don't want to risk my health for it.....
In my experiences I have found that when I was younger and was only buying middies and regs that I would often get a cough after periods of heavy smoking. I believe this is due to the fact that one must smoke a great deal of cannabis to achieve that high when the quality is low, and the quantity smoked also must increase as your tolerance does. However recently I've stopped smoking regs and have been strictly smoking quality buds in which a few hits create a sufficient high, rather than 3-5 bowls. Basically what I'm saying is try buying higher quality cannabis and see if smoking a lesser quantity diminishes and eliminates coughing. It worked for me and it might work for you.
Higher quality = less carcinogens in the throat and longs due to a smaller amount being smoked.
Low quality = a large amount smoked along with a great deal more harmful materials being inhaled, thus causing irritation in the throat.
Or maybe you have a cold :)
Look at this, but shop around for a better price.

are you exercising? if not, you could avoid a lot of complication dealing with smoking regimens or buying new equipment. A vaporizer will definitely help a cough (I have a vaporWarez), but for your own sake and for simplicity's sake, just get exercise every day. I have absolutely no cough, during smoking and otherwise, as long as I get a sweat on semi-daily. And I"m someone who prefers smoke, not vapor. I do an elliptical, pushups, situps, but you don't have to have equipment; you could just go on brisk walks (which are doubly fun when you punctuate it with a outdoor smoke session somewhere);)
It's awful to be talking to someone, such as a parent, and have to clear your throat of phlegm. My 'rents always suspected I was a smoker because of it.
Thanks all for the replies. Swanman, I think you have a real point. I had been smoking crap for 3 years! Not good quality for sure and thus had to smoke large amounts. that may very well be the cause of it. I admit, I am a heavy smoker. So, recently I have cut back on all my daytime smoking as well. Also have a new source now who is providing much better quality as well so a few hits are sufficient now. Let's see if my cutting back on amount smoked works.
Burnable, I do exercise. 5 hours a week of yoga, pilates, cardio, and weight lifting! It's helped me in so many ways. I hadn't worked out in 10 years and decided it was time to get back into the gym and get into the best shape possible before I turn 30 in a couple of months!
I may look into that vapor if nothing works. Seems like a good option, but fucking expensive!!!
I got mine for $130, the same one goes for ~$200 in headshops, so I'd hold out for the better deal. The high is different, often milder, but you can use the leftovers to bake with (smells awful). If you do have a vape, you'll probably want to smoke now and then, which probably won't effect you too much, especially if you're smoking better stuff
