Are Bongs Really Bad?

lol no they just jelly they dont have one

 

i was always under the impression that a bong is the healthiest way to smoke, second to vaporizers of course

 

Bongs are supposedly worse for you because the water doesn't really do much to filter anything. I say they are the shit and I have 4 of them and I prefer bong over vaporizer, bowl, joint, ect all day erryday

 

smoking anything is bad for you in the first place so i couldn't really give a shit about the relative health effects of various smoking devices. bongs are the shit so that's that.

A bong is the safest way to smoke weed by itself PERIOD.

 

I <3 bongs.

 

Besides if you get the good stuff aka dank you only really need like 2-3 good tokes off a good sized bong if you milk it

 

I don't smoke for my health
for that, I vape.

 

This would be untrue as with bongs the smoke is filtered as it passes through the water yet with a joint the smoke doesn't pass through anything, so joints are definitely going to be worse then bongs, especially because with joints you are also smoking paper.

 

I didn't mean to say they are worse than joints, but it depends on a lot of factors. How often the water is changed, what type of bud is smoked, how much is smoked, how often the bong is cleaned, arguably the size, type, and filtration methods of the bong, size of hits taken, ect. Fat milk hits from a bong probably do more damage to the human body than a small hit from say a freshly cleaned glass or stone pipe. However, the difference is probably close to negated by the small amount of hits required from a bong compared to almost any other smoking method. Either way, bongs are the shit and everyone should have at least one.

 

No? What's wrong with bongs?

 

Bongs are fucking awesome, whoever said that probably had a vape blowing up their bum

 

actually, ice cubes don't make for the cleanest hits.
apparently, this results in moisture entering your lungs
which is bad.

 

LOL

do you hold your breath when you take a hot shower?

Please, do yourselves a favor and read my two posts on pages 69 and 70 on the other thread. I would ctrl-v, but quoting myself would make me look like more of an asshole than I already am

 

great post i read them all and actually cleared up some of my own misconceptions that i have come to believe of the last 10 years of smoking! a must read for everyone
