5. You might try a dry herb vaporizer.

I was starting to cough a lot, and someone here recommended trying the dry herb vaporizer where you use straight flower, not oil. I got one for $35 from local smoke shop and it works for easing the coughing. I rarely cough when I smoke through it but almost always cough when vaping. It's a little more work, you have to grind it first, and can't load it with 1/2 gram and smoke away. They don't work as well when filled, need lots of air space to get good hits. So I grind my 1/2 gram then load it up in 1/3s to maximize the smoking efficiency.

Sorry you don't get high, but using the dry herb vaporizer definitely helps with the harshness.
