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.
