When you smoke a cigarette is it supposed to burn the back of your mouth?

Question

ive smoked weed before and to get the full effect it burnt the back of my mouth

do you smoke a cigarette the same way or how do you do it?

Answer 1

I think I have the answer... You are trying to direct-inhale.  It burns your throat as you inhale directly from the cig to your lungs.  You need to first bring the smoke into your mouth like you were drinking from a straw, then open your mouth and inhale it.  This way, it spends less time on that tender part of your throat.

Answer 2

you're inhaling too quickly if the weed smoke burns you.

also, you don't hold cigarette smoke in like you do pot smoke.

Answer 3

It typcally will burn your throat when you're just starting, but it stops happening after you've done it for a while. I'm not sure whether that's because your throat gets toughened up or because you learn to inhale properly, e.g., by holding the smoke in your mouth for a little and then once it's cooled inhaling it mixed with air from your open mouth.

Also, when you're smoking a cigarette you don't usualy hold the smoke in your lungs nearly as long or inhale as deeply as you do with weed  My advice would be not to worry about it. You'll find that as you gain experience you'll automatically regulate the length and depth of inhalations to get the nictotine dose you want. It's like learning to ride a bicycle -- you end up doing what's right.  

Answer 4

please don't even start, i am sure you have heard that a million times but it is the truth. it is so addicting. my mother died of lung cancer and i have since tried quiting several times, coming closer each time i try but if that tells you anything, it is not even worth starting

Answer 5

you might be inhaling to hard on the smoke

weed is different and way less harsh then tobacco so there is a difference

it should never burn just inhale slowly

Answer 6

What are doing even thinking about smoking?  If you think it's no big deal, I can put you in touch with my 33-year old cousin who has emphysema.
