Lighters are bad for you

[Pride]

I used to smoke from my pipe all the time. Today, my lungs are clogged to crap. When I take a deep breath there is a wheezing sound. It's nasty.
I showed my nasty wheeze to a friend and asked her if she feels this way too (because she smokes cigs and weed). She said she only feels that way when she smokes out of pipes.

That got me thinking.. that makes a lot of sense.. because I inhale a lot of gas fumes when I'm holding a lighter over my piece..

So last night I rolled a joint and even made a rule with my friends that we cannot use pipes. ONLY JOINTS!

Yeah, I felt better! No wheezing or clogged lungs. I can really conclude that inhaling gas fumes for a long time has damaged my body. Joints don't hurt because they stay lit; therefore you don't inhale lighter gas.

Is this theory right?
Bleh, I need a vaperizer..

[Lit Up]

Yeah, It's definetly not all of the smoke that you are inahling.

everyone's lungs are different so it doesn't mean anything that your friend
doesn't feel the same as you.

you're right, you need a vaporizer, then that weeze should go away.

dude joints are worse for you than pipes, switching was such a dumb idea. when you smoke joints, you're also smoking PAPER.

[stoned88911]

Well weezing sounds like broncitus, but if it comes and goes it probly isnt

Smoke in general is gonna make ur breathing worse, anykind

I swear i say it all the time, but the ABSOLUTE BEST THING A SMOKER CAN DO IS RUN!!!!!!!!!
At least couple nights a week
Get those lungs and heart pumping and u wont have any breathing problems.

[seattlesmoke247]

I don't smoke out of joints or pipes neither get me that high.

[Revanche21]

Bleh, I need a vaperizer..

Yeah I work out every other day. Cardio really helps, indeed.
Paper material is very soft it's not that bad.
I'm positive I'm inhaling too much gas.

According to research I agree I have some form of bronchitis. Documents specifically mentioned 'wheezing' as part of it. It is caused by inhaling dusts or fumes. I guess I'm sticking with joints from now on till I get a vape.

[stoned88911]

only thing i smoke out of is a 2 liter GB

I agree with seattle, joints and bowls dont get me high, or at least get me high in a reasonable amount of time,

[imitator]

Id say even if you plan on just smoking Joints, that you find yourself a bubbler or something to put the joint into the stem of to smoke it.

I dont enjoy having burning paper added to the horrible things going into my lungs, but joints have the convenience factor of me not having to light it more than once... so I started putting my joints in my water bong with some ice in the ice catcher, and its helped alot with the taste and AFAIK it helps filter some of the nasty shit you get from smoking paper.

Not to mention it allows you to get the stronger high effect you feel from taking large hits from a bong, even though you are technically smoking a J.

Yes you need a vaperizer.

Gas from lighter, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I don't think so!!!!!!

What you are doing is stopping yourself from (DEEP LUNGING). When you burn joints. With a bong or pipe your getting toooo much too deep in your lungs. Very BAD but gets you higher. A certain amount of air has to stay in your lungs or they would collapse. If you fill that spot with smoke how do you think it gets out. Long term damage.

And paper. LOL. your poisoning your self with smoke in your lungs anyway.
Did you grow it ?
Did you care for it ?
Did you see the chems that pothead grower put on them buds ?
Did you see the chems that pothead dealer put on them buds to make it taste better or to make the high better ?
I have seen alot of things, even formaldihyde put on some. Not chronic but the point is you don't know what you got if you did not follow it it's whole life till it got to you..
Your poisoning your self but want to be healthy about it. LOL.

THANK YOU FOR SMOKING.

lighters arent bad for you. when you start the flame the lighter fuel burns and releases only CO2 and water, for that is the combustion product of fossil fuels like butane, and other lighter fuels. that being said, there is already a significant amount of both of those in the air we breath, so no matter what, the amount of those you inhale will do a negligible amount of harm if it even is harmful at that amount.

like everyone else said, it probably has to do with the really hot smoke your inhaling. there are several fixes. eat it. vape it. or man up and smoke it. just take a few days rest before smoking again, do some running, something that gets you inhaling and exhaling a lot of air, dont just hyperventilate, and you will start to repair that which you have damaged.

and rolling papers are worse for you, though just like the lighters, the amount of paper you smoke is not enough to cause any more issues than are already being caused by smoking in the first place.

and after vaping for the first time the other night, i highly suggest vaping as your solution. just dont turn that up too high, for it will then just burn it anyways and negate the effects.

whats in a lighter? butane. when butane burns it gives off carbon dioxide and water only. fact. lighters are not bad for you.

C4H10 + O2 --> CO2 + H20

hahahahah wronggggg u think lighters burn so efficiently that all the butane is burnt out no sirey. that butane still comes out there is CO2 H2O and C4H10 kind of like a car as in the fuel gets burnt but cars dont burn every single molecule of fuel so some of the fuel is expelled into the atmosphere as well as greenhouse gasses sorry if that came back rude im trying to be nice because for some reason im "infamous around these parts"

[jimmy8778]

vape it, my friend just let me borrow his vape for a few weeks, and i am stoked, no smoking aloud in my house now, only vaping.

I agree for sure! solar-tokin' is the way to go! Make sure you use either a bub, or a nice tall bong W/ water maybe even ice.

[420_24/7]

sorry if that came back rude
If your wondering why your post sounds rude.


hahahahah wronggggg

I smell a nark or a vape snob. Little chance for fowl play on my nug, I know exactly where it came from, the dirt and a process called photosynthesis. For the record, oxygen deteriorates the body and is the reason we age, and your breathing that right now.

THANK YOU FOR BREATHING.

And to the original thread starter, a vape is a good idea. Also as you suspected the lighter isnt as harmless as some may think, butane is not 100%clean burning and like anything when burnt gives off carcinogens. Try a magnifying glass or maybe a pocket torch held a decimeter or so from the bowl of the pipe or bong.

[Buddha Man]

well ive heard that weed expands your lungs while tobacco restricts them. i smoke both and sumtimes i can feel my breathe get rapidly shorter when i smoke a stoge after i smoke weed so it could be the combo. cigs suck but they hold me over on those dry days

[Stemis516]

i have a solution to avoid inhaling lighter fumes



Home (http://www.beelinehawaii.com)

its just a hemp rope that you light first and then light the bowl with....you still inhale all the garbage from combustion and stuff but u avoid lighter fumes and you dont taste the gas either if you have to torch a bowl
