The Benefits of Smoking a Hookah
Do you find regular smoking a bit boring, and are you looking for a more fun way to spend your afternoon or evening? Then give the bong or hookah a try! In this article, we’ll explain why you can have a great time with it, and what the benefits of using it are. After reading this, you’ll definitely be sold on it!
A bong and a hookah—aren’t they exactly the same thing? No, that’s right! A bong is typically used to smoke hash or weed, while hookahs are more intended for tobacco. However, you can also use a hookah to smoke marijuana if you want.
Super easy to use
At Dutch-Smart, we believe that almost anyone could use a hookah or bong. That’s because they’re super easy to use. You only have to deal with four parts: the reservoir (also called the vase), the stem, the tube, and the bowl where you put what you want to smoke. There is one difference between the more modern hookahs and traditional versions: traditional hookahs don’t have a tube but a hose. You see this type of hookah a lot in certain cultures. The Egyptians, for example, love to puff on the shisha.
Want to give it a try? Then follow these steps:
- Take the hookah apart
- Fill the reservoir with water
- Attach the stem to the reservoir
- Fill the bowl with whatever you want to smoke
You should check to see if there is a hole in the bowl. If there is, place a piece of gauze over the hole. All you have to do then is light the tobacco and place your lips around the end of the hose or tube.
Easy to clean
A hookah or bong is incredibly easy to clean! If you make sure to replace the water in the reservoir after every use, you’ve already taken care of most of the maintenance. And the rest? Just wash it with soapy water, or put it in the dishwasher. Easy peasy!
Gentler on your throat
Using a hookah is much gentler on your throat than regular smoking. The smoke from your hookah is first filtered through the water, which also cools it down significantly. This feels much better! This applies to both beginners and experienced smokers. As a beginner, a hookah lets you ease into smoking, and if you’re a bit more experienced, you can actually inhale much more with a hookah.
With a hookah or shisha, you can endlessly vary and combine flavors. For example, you can mix hash or weed with hookah tobacco, or smoke with a charcoal briquette instead of a flame. Plus, using a hookah or bong looks awesome! Much cooler than a simple cigarette or joint, right? Do you have any questions about using these products?
