Why Dirty Bongs Ruin Your Smoke Sessions
Stop smoking through dirty bongs.
In a world that constantly demands our attention… most people dread the task of learning how to clean a bong. Let’s be honest, it’s time-consuming and, unfortunately, not treated as a priority. A quick rinse with water is not enough. Trust me when I say you’ll never want to use a dirty bong or smoking accessory again.
Can Dirty Bongs Make You Sick?
Dirty smoking accessories can accumulate resin, tar, and grime over time. This resin buildup can contain mold in a bong and bacterial growth, posing potential health risks.
A case study by Varum et al. (2017) found that a 23-year-old man who smoked out of the same bong for 4 years and developed Necrotizing Pneumonia, a severe infection that destroys lung tissue. Researchers found the same bacteria present in both his lungs and bong, suggesting the dirty bong contributed to the infection. The man suddenly became very sick with a fever, experienced trouble breathing, and coughing up blood.
Benefits of Smoking From a Clean Bong
Here’s an easy way to think about it ”Would you use a toilet without flushing it after every use?” If the answer is no, that means the bare minimum is to always use clean bong water and rinse after every smoke session.
Here’s the thing: when someone inhales through dirty smoking accessories, tiny droplets of contaminated water can enter the lungs. Regular bong and smoking accessory maintenance is crucial for a better, safer experience. In other words, smoother pulls and a longer lifespan for glass. Additionally, the excessive resin buildup can affect the flavour and airflow.
