Do you inhale at all?

Has to be a pretty strong stick to make me regret it when I do inhale. I might do it 5 or 10 times on the stronger sticks, but on mild sticks it's 2 out of 3 puffs. Never have gotten sick from it. Smoked Marlboro Reds 1 pack per day for 15 years though, so I have a pretty good tolerance built up.

I have to conciously think about not doing it though. If I don't think about it the inhale reflex takes over.

Retrohaling on the other hand burns like hell. Not enough practice doing that yet. Never really exhaled through my nose smoking cigarettes so there's no tolerance built up to it yet. I do it with a full puff from a strong stick and my eyes will water up immediately. That's ok though, something to work on.
