Croaking occurs when a
smoker inhales smoke (usually tobacco or marijuana). If there is an insufficient amount of
saliva coating the throat, the tars and toxins contained within the smoke cause an unpleasant, burning sensation in the throat and lungs. The
body's immediate response is to cough or 'croak'. Gagging will sometimes occur.
Smoker 1: Here, take a hit.
*Smoker
2 takes a hit, then starts croaking for 5 minutes*
Smoker
2: That shit tastes
nasty.
