This might sound really stupid (be gentle) but I wonder if some of the risks of directly and forcefully inhaling cannabis vapour can be attenuated by kind of sucking into one’s cheek rather than directly unmediated the normal way and then indirectly sort of vaguely breathing it indirectly.
Any thoughts? I feel like it can’t be that easy or it just doesn’t work that way…
I have heard anecdotally of long-term users (some even like super young <13 years old) who develop various breathing issues or lung problems like “popcorn lung” etc.

I guess I’m just instinctually skeptical that vaping is a magical “free lunch” where you can get all the goodness of quick convenient kick-in and no health effects (in terms of physical mechanics of breathing in burning but still “clean” air) regardless of its ostensible superiority to big boy smoking.

This! Pun aside (I need to get that out of the way cuz I am serious about this and Imma get like a million joke responses to this), my question in essence really has very little to do with cannabis itself and more with the concept of highly heated air and it can’t be “harmless”, it just can’t.
Like, I technically am conjecturing with that because I haven’t read anything (I really need to learn how to read and find scientific papers cuz I can understand the words just not anything besides maybe the bottom line(s) delieated in the abstracts) but I feel like its impossible its a free lunch for your lungs…

Ironically, I find bongs still much too harsh. It makes no sense and yet that is my empirical experience every time I’ve tried it. 🤷🏻♀️
