question about smoking and health

[texas grass]

do heavy daily smokers cough up lots of stuff out of their lungs(mainly bong/pipe, no tobacco paper)

im just curious

[donsolo]

I used to smoke two packs of cigarettes a day and I hacked up a lot more crud in the morning doing that. I'm a pretty heavy herb guy and honestly, I only ever hack up crud when I'm vaporizing (it's like my body is cleaning itself out when I do that) and I use a lot of pipe and bong. It's only ever during use do I seem to cough up stuff.

I smoked a 12" joint the other day solo and was coughing pretty hard at the end of that but that's probably heavier usage than is typical.

If you're concerned about health issues with it though, you'd want to go the vaporizer route. It's far easier on your lungs.

Also there's a lot of things to consider, IE with a bong, the better it water filters, the better it should be theoretically though I've seen some studies that say that Bongs actually have a lot of tar in them. And with joints, you're introducing hemp or rice paper to the mix. Cellulose paper does have the cleanest taste but it burns too funky for me.

I've used cannabis for 40 years, so I KNOW! Pot is tough on the lungs! Get a vaporizer! It took all of 2 weeks to undo 40 years worth of pot smoke. (I don't use tobacco- except as an insecticide!)

I'm very low income, but I can still say that the $140 I spent of a Vapor Brother's, was the best money I have spent in a long time! If you have the cash, a Volcano vaporizer is supposed to be the best, but look around, there are several (cheaper) rivals.

Take care of your body- it's the only one you got!- Granny:hippy:

i used to smoke cigs its been about a month since i have had 1 or really thought about them much. one of the biggest reasons to quit was because i kept on coughing lots of green flim. i was wanting to hear what pot smokers said about only smoking pot and their lungs.

i have tried afew different vaporizers but do not like how they hit, or i havnt found a good one.

i dont mind spending the money on one considering i have abunch of multi hundred dollar pieces

what type of vapes do yall recommend

[silkyblue]

no body ever said "smoke is medicine"

dont exceed your dosage on any mind altering thing, moderation

Cigarretts fill up ONES lungs wif black crap

chemicals too like Naptha and liquid nails, will kill ya FACTO MUNGO especially breathed 24/7

I had a smokin buddy, SHERRY died from lung
cancer 2 year ago, she was 54

20 years prior to her demise

she glued square mirrors all over the walls
with that stuff "liquid nails"
her and Roys whole bd room reeked of "liquid nails'
I had to get out of there


suggestion,

puff with a one hitter if your worried about your lung health

or jus quit

ps

Whilst viewing '2005 Farm Aid" DVD, I noticed when "Jeff Beck" [great guitar player] was playing he went oer to his tabla and hit smoke from a little box. I bet it was herby

what type of vapes do yall recommend

mmm, green film! lol anyway man I highly, highly, hiiiigghhlllyyy recommend the Volcano. I've tied a few other vape's but the voc is hands down the better one imo. yeah it costs an arm more, BUT you will always forget how much you paid once you hit it :thumbsup:

Ive developed a slight cough recently due to a serious chest infection 2 months back and ive had it since then but its real small and im about to quit for two weeks so it should pass.

water, water, water, drink water, everyday, all day you will feel like
your old self in no time

Im no Doctorate but waters good

Agree with water comment.

Agree with vape comment.

That is all.

Personal experience: the only time I hack up weird nasty phlegm is after a heavy night of drinking/cigarettes and after quitting tobacco (lung-clearing).

Never had a problem from my light/moderate cannabis use. If anything it seems to help. But I'd love to get a vape - can't afford it and seems to not matter if I'm filling my lungs with tobacco tar every day anyway.
