will adding menthol decrease coughing?

Say you have a juice that causes coughing sometimes, might adding menthol to it alleviate the problem? I heard menthol has a soothing effect on the throat and that's why it's used in cough drops.

Maybe.
Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer. I don't notice a difference, but I was a menthol smoker, so I might be "immune". I find that the best decrease comes from getting used to vaping. I coughed when I first tried it, and I used to cough for the first few drags in the morning, but now I rarely cough (although it still happens).

I would say no. Lots of people add menthol to increase throat hit. You could try a couple drops and see, but I'm a little doubtful.

I don't know about coughing so much, but for me, adding any amount of menthol will increase gagging.

Well, that's not good.
