Because everyone needs to experiment and practice

Well, you don't know what you don't know.

Because you never had a desire to look like Puff the Magic Dragon. Or like Chevy Chase from "Caddyshack".

BTW, that was a positive. We all get to enjoy the learning.

Retrohaling can be difficult for some smokers and surprisingly easy for others,

I find retrohaling easy to do, but difficult to put up with the effects. Stopped-up ears and sinuses just ain't worth it.

It's not for everyone.

Every exhale when smoking.

I tend to keep the smoke in my mouth for a bit and breath through nose. Whenever I need to let the smoke out, mostly it's retrohale. Otherwise, I let the smoke out from side of mouth.

I with @Bobby Bailey on this. It doesn't bother me as bad but I find it amplifies the worst parts of the flavor profile.

Good discovery! You're going to discover more as you smoke on.

As a matter of interest if you try a nasal spray like perinase it stops the negative side effects of retro haling. Again…not for everyone though.

I love it, gives some great flavors.
Try to push the smoke out of your mouth slowly while inhaling through your nose some time.
Don't inhale too deep, you just want the smoke to enter your nostrils and push it out right afterwards.
Compare that with the flavors from the retro haling.

I'm surprised to read that some people have trouble with retro haling. I guess you guys weren't smoking cigarettes before because I think that it's a pretty natural action for any smoker. Just keep it up, some day it will be like breathing and you won't even think about it.

Thanks for the info. I just didn't get anything out of retrohaling......other than the stuffy head and ears.
