You literally have never ripped a Juul before if you honestly believe this. Anyone ripping a Juul coughs when they start. And coughing from smoking is a relative thing. If I smoke just weed out of a bong I’ll cough my lungs out. Weed and tobacco goes down smooth as ice.

Weed should be perfectly smooth when cured correctly it's usually way better to burn than tobacco, you can kinda see the quality of the cure by looking at the ash. Completely white ash = good, everything burned down

Black ash = still some undesirable chemicals present, like excess nitrogen from too much fertilizer.

Tobacco has an initial sharpness that is harsher than weed yet the overall hit is smoother. Weed is rough for the entire time
