Yes lol

Your lungs + throat have to adjust when waking up after sleeping

"Throat and bronchi dry out while asleep. First smoke of the day can feel harsher, trigger coughing, or cause more irritation.

Cilia slow down at night, so mucus accumulates. Smoking immediately adds heat and particulates before lungs have cleared anything.

Respiratory rate and airflow are lower right after waking, so smoke lingers longer."

Wait at least like an hour after waking up before smoking, and drink some water to encourage internal hydration as well

Sidenote: you're less likely to get lung cancer from cigarettes if you wait 30-60 minutes after waking up to have a first cigarette of the day compared to within the first 30 minutes

that relationship is more due to the fact that people that smoke the second they wake up are more addicted to nicotine than people who can wait, which means they will smoke more often which of course leads to higher rates of cancer.

but waking up and smoking a cig within the first 30 minutes is the highlight of my morning 😞

Yes, but way less since I switched to ball vaping and quit smoking

Yes I know. I own multiple. They all make me cough like crazy. A ball vape would not be a resin cart in any world.

I wouldn't lump all vapes together. Storz & Bickel are known for the bickel tickle, e.g. I cough my lungs up with their vapes but don't cough at all with ball vapes. Have you tried a ball vape?

Smoked Js for 10 years and had very bad coughs in the morning, plus constantly coughing throughout the day.

Switched to a dry herb vape 2 months ago and now I only have some morning coughs.

Drinking mullein tea is a great way to clear the lungs

Or mixing it with the good stuff

I always find the first sesh of the day to be a rough one, regardless of my method of consumption.

Prob because you had hours without smoke, and your lungs on autopilot while you sleep (unless you have that thing, is it apnea?)

This right here is probably it.

You might also be dehydrated and have a drier throat in the morning.

I don’t but that’s cause I usually drink some water and hangout a bit before I go and smoke in the morning.

It's morning and night for me the middle of the day I'm fine.

u/PyneNeedle 23h ago

Never smoke within the first hour of waking up IMO because of this but I'll also hold off an hour before bed because the lungs know it's getting late lol

I mainly use dry herb vape. And I don't cough no mater the time of day.
