Smoking a bong is better than a bowl because the water filtration will lower the amount of tar in the inhaled smoke. At the very least the water in a bong would cool the smoke which would be easier on your lungs..If worse comes to worse and you need to get high, pack small bowls and then only kiss the lighter to the weed a few times instead of just torching the bowl. Its the hot air being pulled down onto the weed that vapourizes the THC, a fiery red cherry is unnecessary. By lighting the weed as little as possible you are smoking the weed basically the same way as a vapourizer works: heating it up to the point where the THC vapourizes but the plant matter is not completely destroyed. Anyways I hope these smoking tips help you in some way, and good luck:smokin:
