In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most people grasp the bong firmly around the neck, which is made to fit in your hands. The bottom often rests in your lap or on a flat surface. Novice bong users should always follow this rule: Keep the bong on a flat surface (like a tabletop) to minimize the chance of it falling and breaking. More advanced bong users can be seen gripping the bong without any support underneath, but this can lead to accidents if you aren't prepared. If you can't find a flat surface to hold the bong on, rest the bong on your stomach area or in between your legs if it's big enough. If the bong has a carb, grip the piece so that one finger plugs up the hole. If you don't, you will draw in outside air, not the air through the burning bowl, and end up with no smoke in the chamber. Make sure you can safely uncover the hole as well. It is bad etiquette to wrap your lips around the outside of the mouthpiece. Instead, purse your lips and push them lightly in the inside of the tube. Make sure that the entire opening is sealed, otherwise you won't be able to draw any smoke out. Practice good bong etiquette by wiping your mouth, drying your lips, and placing your lips inside the inhale hole instead or entirely around it. You'll create a better vacuum and you won't slobber all over the top of the bong, making the next hit unpleasant. Strike your lighter with your free hand and slowly tilt it down over the bowl. As you do, begin inhaling so that you "pull" the flame into the bowl, igniting your smoking material. If you don't want to inhale the fumes of a lighter, or simply don't want to deal with the hassle of many moving parts, try lighting hemp wick instead. Also known as "bee line," hemp wick is an organic lighting string that burn slowly and stay lit. You light the end, like a candle, and use this to light the bowl. Once the herb is lit, it will start glowing and the bowl will fill with smoke. The key here is to inhale slowly. You don't want to be inhaling your smoking product so much as gathering smoke inside the bong's chamber. Once the smoking material is lit, it will stay lit as you pull air through it, helping the rest of the bowl catch as well. It should only take 1-2 seconds of direct flame. Move on when you start running out of breath. You don't want to be completely winded before you inhale the smoke-- you should have one big, quick breath left in your lungs. To get the smoke into your lungs, you need to allow fresh air to flow through that pushes the smoke up and into your lungs. Use the hand that held the lighter to pull the bowl out, or remove your finger from the carb. As soon as you do, take a deep, rapid breath to inhale all the smoke in the bowl. Many beginning smokers struggle to know how much air they have left for this final inhalation. If you are unsure, remove the bowl after the chamber has filled up with smoke, before the smoke gets into the neck. There is no real benefit to keeping the smoke in your lungs, as most pleasurable compounds are absorbed instantly. Place the bowl back into the downstem or clean it out if it is finished. Many smokers find the left-over smoke "stale" and prefer not to smoke it. Instead, blow lightly through the downstem to force the remaining smoke up and out the mouthpiece of the bong. Do not ever exhale back into the top of a bong, as this usually spills the water out the downstem or carb and can wet the bowl, ruining any extra smoking material.
Summary: Hold the bong securely in your non-dominant hand. Place your lips inside the opening, forming a seal. Hold the lighter up to the edge of the bowl while simultaneously inhaling. Remove the flame once the bowl has caught, but keep inhaling. Inhale the smoke with a big, deep breath by removing the bowl or opening the carb. Exhale immediately. Clear any remaining smoke from the water bong before passing it on.

Problem: Article: Any herbs can potentially cause adverse side effects, especially if you're on daily medications. Always tell your doctor when you're starting an herbal regimen to find out if this is a safe idea. Chamomile in particular can interact with blood-thinning drugs, so don't use it if you take blood thinners. Just like any other medication, these herbs are only safe when taken in the correct quantities. Follow the dosage size on every product you use and never take too much. If you don't know the proper dosage for a supplement you're taking, ask your doctor about it. Most anxiety-reducing herbs can also cause drowsiness, especially if you haven't taken them before. When you first start taking a new herb, wait a few hours before driving or operating machinery so you don't suddenly get drowsy in the middle of a task. Herbal supplements can cause a number of adverse side effects like dizziness, nausea, or heartburn. If you don't like how something makes you feel, then stop taking it.
Summary:
Ask your doctor before you start taking any herbal supplements. Follow all the dosage or serving instructions that come with herbs. Wait until you know how the herbs affect you before driving. Stop if you experience any adverse side effects.
