Always cough when I smoke, but

So I’ve been smoking for years, daily sometimes and recreationally (not daily, maybe weekly) now. I have literally always coughed every time I take a puff off a joint or a bong hit. I can’t even get into the future weed, wax stuff. I just gag. The sad part is I also smoke cigarettes (want to quit) and have no issues with those. People have told me don’t burn it for so long, don’t inhale as much. But I really don’t, I cough after one puff. If it’s a big hit I cough for a minute or two. Sometimes I’ve puked. Edibles are fine obviously. In fact I like them more now bc I can take them, and a couple hours later be like Oh Shit. But sometimes I watch videos of these people absolutely chiefing a huge volume of smoke and wonder, what am I doing wrong?

Is this a thing that happens or what?
