How does a bong work?
A bong is a smoking device, generally used to smoke tobacco, but also other substances. It is sometimes confused with a hookah, the difference being that a bong is hit from the body rather than through a hose. Bongs are good in the fact that the water will filter out most of the carcinogens while leaving the Nicotine, which is not soluble in water. Bongs can vary greatly in their shape, materials, styles, colors, and sizes. Many bongs are regarded for their style, distinct vivid colors, or customizations such as stickers, and become a personalized signature of that particular bong owner. Using a Bong Smoking using a bong contrasts with smoking using a pipe or cigarette in two major ways. Bongs cool the smoke before it enters the user’s lungs and a large amount of smoke is inhaled quickly as opposed to the smaller, more frequent, inhalations of pipe and cigarette smoking. The base is filled with water to the depth dictated by the bong. This water is typically tap water.
As someone who’s been around these things for longer than i care to admit, I think I can help: Let’s get anatomy of a bong straight first. The place you put the “tobacco” is the little metal or ceramic bowl/bell/dish. This is called the “bowl” (easy, right?). The hole at the top is where you inhale from. There will also either be a very small hole usually on the opposite side of the bowl or the bowl will be able to lift out of place entirely and this is called the “choke”. Some bongs are “water bongs” and will have a little pipe that extends down from the bowl, into the bong and come close to the bottom of the inside of bong. If you fill it with water a few inches higher than this pipe it will help cool the smoke for you. Now to use it. Pack the bowl with your “tobacco”, you can use either ground up bits or full buds. Hold the bong with your thumb covering the choke hole.
