Is It the Healthier Choice to Smoke From a Bong Instead?

There are two possible main reasons why you clicked on this article. The first is that you're a newbie who's considering a bong. The second reason is that you're a seasoned smoker who uses a water bong with a percolator and ice catcher. 

One of the most common questions people ask is if it's healthier and more responsible to just smoke from a bong. Understandably, a lot of people tend to simply assume that the answer to smoking from a bong is a cut-and-dried yes in terms of being healthier and more responsible.

Most people understand by default that when herbs are ignited, there are carcinogens or harmful compounds that get produced. Certain studies have shown, however, that making the choice to use bongs (also known as water pipes) could actually be a better option for your health overall.

So, are bongs healthier or not?

The smoking community has had a lot of debates on this very topic. Many people believe that up to 90% of toxins from firing herbs can be trapped by the water of a bong. There is also a theory that those same toxins will end up straight into the smoker's lungs, without any impediment caused by water. Smoke passing through water filters generally leads to carcinogens and unhealthy substances being filtered out.

No matter what bong you use, even if it's a heavy-duty bong, you allow smoke to cool down in bongwater prior to inhalation. This is a plus when you compare it to the key flaw of cannabis consumption through smoking (also known as combustion) since the latter can cause throat irritation with every inhale. Blunts, dry pipes, and joints alike lead to hot smoke entering the lungs directly. When this happens, there is a burning feeling that is quite unpleasant which can throw off people who are not used to smoking, including newbies.

Of course, there is still some coughing to be had every so often. However, it is still much healthier to take a bong compared to smoking.

When you smoke through a bong, any bacteria and mold are generally trapped in the bongwater. This means that you will inhale far less microbes. Joints that are used by cannabis users, as well as pipes, are usually passed around quite a bit. That method leads to illnesses being passed around inadvertently as well. In this time of Covid-19, that could not be a more terrible choice to make. When you use a bong, you are able to have certain contaminants get filtered by the bongwater instead of directly through your lungs.

Conclusion

Smoking through a bong has long been debated in terms of whether or not it's healthier than other options. In the long run, it usually is, largely because the bongwater is able to filter a lot of microbes and bacteria that would otherwise end up in the lungs. Additionally, since they're generally made of glass, it's possible to get them in any number of shapes and styles made by artisans.
