If you're new to smoking bongs, take a seat near a table or stand so you can set the bong down if you start coughing. Sit near an open window if you don't want the room to fill with smoke. Make sure the area you're sitting in is free of any flammable objects. Wrap your hand around the smoke chamber (the long section that connects the mouthpiece and the water chamber) or hold the bong from the bottom. Make sure you have a good grip before you light it. Breathe using your diaphragm (the muscle below your lungs). Filling your body with oxygen will make it easier to inhale all the smoke from the bong, and you won't cough as much. Your lips should be inside the mouthpiece and the rim of the mouthpiece should be pressed against the area around your mouth. Make sure there aren't any gaps so the smoke doesn't escape. Use a regular pocket lighter. Hold the lighter so it's vertical and light it with your thumb. Keep your other fingers wrapped around the lighter so they don't get burned. Position the flame so you're only burning the edge of the cannabis in the bowl. This will help the cannabis in the bowl last longer. Hold the flame on the edge of the cannabis.

However, if there was anything in the essay that you didn't understand, now is your chance to enlighten yourself.
