What causes people to cough when they smoke for the first time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irritation: There are many harsh and toxic chemicals in smoke, in addition to suspended particles of soot. The lungs are coughing to try to clear this terrible stuff from your lungs. It should be a hint to not start smoking!
