Smoking Tobacco Through A Bong?

[HOPS5K]

Okay, so I've had an addiction to cigs since like 2006. I'm not a pack a day smoker or even close...more like 6 to 8 cigs a day. I usually smoke the roll your own kind and not the packs.

Okay, so recently I began to smoke my baccy through one of my bongs thinking that it would filter out some of the crap that's in tobacco. I just put a pinch in the bong and toke it up for a few puffs.

Does smoking the tobacco through a bong really even do anything, like taking out the bad chemicals and what not in the tobacco?

I mean, the tobacco is supposed to be pipe tobacco anyways, so just adding water and smoking it through my bong isn't much different.

I wish I could quit smoking cigs and just toke herb, but they are hard to quit once you start and I don't have enough money to buy the weed it requires to quit...not yet anyways..

If your smoking tobacco thru a bong you should really just quit. Seriously? Load up some CHEM

a bong just filters out dus particles all the nasty stuff still comes thru

Well the water filters the smoke a bit but not much really. A bong does allow the smoke to cool down more than a cigarette would which is something. What you really want is a vaporizer though.

By the way when you smoke pipe tobacco in a bong do you pack it like you'd pack an ordinary tobacco pipe and then take small tokes? Because I think that could be a very enjoyable way to smoke tobacco from a bong. Or do you pack it lightly and suck hard like with weed? Doesn't sound as good.

Used to mix tobacco and my cannabis when I would smoke out of the bong but it tastes like ASS so I stopped doing that. Now it's strictly herb for me! The carcinogens in the tobacco smoke are not removed by any filtering method be it water or the ones on the end of the stick, the smoke is cancerous regardless of what you do to filter it. Just quit man your body will thank you!

A regular joint/cigarette filters much more of the nastiness out than a bong does. Of course, the farther down you smoke it, the more of it you're just re-burning. . . .

Bongs are more for cooling/concentrating the smoke. Just quit!

 

[SuperConductor]

Much deeper inhalations with a bong would probably mean they're worse for you than smoking with a filter. I agree with the quit brigade, patches and joints all the way. At 6 a day you've almost quit already, just have a spliff to give your hands something to do.

@Love?: Yeah, I pack enough for a few good tokes and take small tokes at that.

Cigs are pretty nasty though, I have to admit. I've thrown up more than once smoking cigs and it aint pretty.

I remember back in the day (2002-2005) I never smoked cigs and just smoked strictly herbals. I had no wrinkles on my face from smoking, I could smell good and I didn't feel as sickly as I do smoking cigs.

I think it's time to give up the habit and partake in more herbs. I'm going to try so I can stay around a little bit longer and not die of Emphasema (sp?) like my aunt. That's a horrible way to go I'll tell ya.

Why not just grow your own tobacco or just use an e-cig? The nicotine and tobacco its self isnt really that bad for you, its the chemicals they put in it that are bad. Hell just smoking weed, you are going to get some of the same carcinogens as you would smoking tobacco that is free of chemicals, a good example would be Benzenes.

True. Carcinogens such as polonium are absorbed through the tissues of the tobacco plant (via sprayed fertilizers) and are responsible for a huge percentage of the ill effects of the plant. However, from what I understand nicotine itself exacerbates the effects of the carcinogens in smoke, so it's not quite the same as cannabis, even if you grow it without nasty radioactive products like the big corporations. Also, cannabis typically has a near zero rate of emphysema due to the way the smoke acts within the lungs.

On a personal note, I can say that where I'm at, a pack of smokes costs $6-$7 & a pouch of Drum of Bali-Shag isn't any better. Growing or not, that's real money that can be spent elsewhere, like keeping you stoned! I used to smoke tobacco and can honestly say that even though smoking cannabis isn't always glamorous, it's nothing like the habit of smoking tobacco.

Good luck with the quitting process. Having lots of ganj around helps out huge!

I would never smoke tobacco through a bong, that is a unnecessary thing to do. I would also never put baccy into a joint as if your weed is dry then it will burn fine. Why people would add that evil stuff to there bongs I dont know.

 

[Alone]

Well diabloslayer.....
Im smoking tabacco through my water pipe as of yesterday, because I dont have any cigs or rolling papers and cant afford any..... being the broke ass mo-fo I am right now.
It works if you have to do it. It sucks. But it works.
Isnt any different than making up a tinfoil pipe or a soda can pipe to smoke herb through when theres nothing else.

 

[l2sm]

Well smoking just a little bit with a bong when you really need some makes a whole lot more sense than smoking cigarettes all the time for no good reason. But I don't like how "made for weed" pipes, bongs especially, condense the smoke into big hits. A regular tobacco pipe is better.

Tobacco is not evil. It's a sacred plant that needs to be treated with respect. If abused it will abuse that person in return.

Smoking Tobacco Through A Bong?

Still Weed tho aint it Bro..,after a few

Def Psychological IF ya really drunk on the Weed

 

[Stoner4Life]

instead of trying to quit you're trying to figure out how better to puff up your tobacco, very sad.

you say you don't have the money to replace tobacco w/weed but do you know how much it will cost for your heart surgery when that time comes??? how much work will you lose NEVER to be regained again while you're down for your bypass???

switching to weed sorta sounds cheap if you bother to work the numbers out. Not only cheaper but lots more fun than a hospital stay.

 

[HOPS5K]

hahaha...this thread is crazy old...I actually quit tobacco that same year.

 

[benzo]

props for quitting. give you rep but im all outta it today..

 

[Juke]

I usually mix Bud and tobacco.. about one-fifth of tobacco and the rest of the bud. Works for me. In this way, I only use a couple of cigarettes a day. If I do not mix, I'm gonna smoke cigarettes a couple of dozen a day.

 

[soil margin]

American Spirit Organic rolling tobacco. I like to pack the bong with 90%weed/10%tobacco, very smooth and helps the weed burn quickly, also enhances the THC headrush a little bit.


I hate cigs though, haven't smoked one in probably close to 10 years. Tobacco is kind of a boring plant/intoxicant by itself imho.
