[quote=Anonymous]It's muscle memory and they've been coughing in their hand for 50 years or more. Retraining muscle memory is difficult. I am in my late 30s and we were all taught to cough in our hands. The reason I have "adapted" is that I have kids so basically have had a cold for 10 years. I've had plenty of practice getting used to the new method. Even then I didn't replace the muscle memory with the one for coughing in my elbow for a couple of years. [/quote]
