I smoked hookah for my first time and I have a question on how I should feel after?
So I smoked hookah for my first time recently, and the next day I smoked hookah again. I have noticed afterwards ( like now it's been 2 days since I last smoked hookah ) I have been feeling like there' a lot of flem in my throat and I am constantly clearing it. Is this because my throat is just irritated and not used of smoke? Before this I have never smoked anything in my life. Please let me know what you guys think, thanks!

Clear your throat without contracting your throat area. Coughing and overusing the throat can create wear and tear on the vocal chords. The following method is good and reliable
Drink lemon juice in water without ice. Squeeze a quarter of a lemon into a tall glass of water. Sip this slowly for 25 to 30 minutes. Lemon water is helpful for cutting through extra mucus.
Avoid dairy products. Dairy products such as milk, yogurt and cheese create more mucus in the body, including in the throat and nasal passages. Eliminating dairy from your diet, or cutting back significantly, should decrease the amount of mucus in your throat and reduce the necessity for throat clearing. If you can't eliminate or cut back on dairy, you should try to avoid it on days you need a clear throat, for instance on performance days.
Clear your throat the usual way. Most people clear their throat with an audible noise, ahem. The quieter this is done, the less damage is done to the vocal folds
Cough. Start with a modest, small cough. Spit out any excess mucus that enters your mouth as a result.
Repeat this process, making your coughs slightly louder if necessary, until your throat is clear.
Stop smoking and stay away from second-hand smoke. Smoking, whether you're the one smoking or it's somebody around you, creates mucus build up
Treat any allergies you have.
Pollen, dust mites and dander can all trigger allergies, which in turn trigger the excess production of mucus. If you suffer from allergies, use anti-histamine medication to prevent the symptoms from affecting you.
Seek medical help. If you can't clear your throat after following the steps above, seek medical help as there might be a more serious medical reason you can't clear your throat. There are medications your doctor can prescribe
Drink more water throughout the day. Sometimes people feel like they have too much mucus when the actual problem is having mucus that is too thick. Increasing your water intake will gradually help thin your mucus.

Yes it is. Sometimes after I smoke hookah my throat will be sore or I may have a bit of flem and I used to smoke cigarettes regularly. You should be fine. If it persists then I would see a doctor.
