Why do tobacco smokers generally only smoke cigarettes (ie no bongs)?

i don't smoke tobacco through bong because:
1. its much less potent than cannabis, so you need more to smoke at once. thorugh bong it takes too much time and i cant carry a huge bowled bong with me everywhere
2. cigarettes are so easy to use

Having actually convinced a friend of mine's little brother to rip a big marlboro bong like there was some Motown Brown in it, I can't help from laughing out loud - 15 years later, hahahahahahahaha. It is a MEAN buzz...

cant knock £5 for 50g's though can you haha,

Its not just dodgy weed round here , got ripped on ten pouches last month that turned out to be fake eastern european shite.
Contained twigs , loads of dust and some gravel and was unsmokeable , packageing was a perfect copy of legal UK product.

See what it does to spidermites in the spring as its still cheap for that purpose.

Tobacco. Marijuana. If you look at them from outside the box they're basically the same thing - two dried herbs that can be smoked.

I wouldn't agree with that, tobacco has thousands of different chemicals added to it, did you know a drop of nicotine could kill an animal the size of a cow? You will find that the majority of people in Ireland/UK mix tobacco and cannabis, it all steams from the hash days IMVHO

Maybe that is true of "big tobacco", but certainly not all tobacco and you can get natural baccy...

I'm not sure if this got mentioned, but nicotine is water soluble, whereas cannabinoids are not. Most of the active ingredient makes it to your lungs when you smoke marijuana through a water percolator, but if you were to try it with tobaccy you'd lose lots of potency... or so I'd think anyway.

BTW- Nicotine is an extremely toxic substance weather it comes from "all natural tobacco" or not. "40–60 mg (0.5-1.0 mg/kg) can be a lethal dosage for adult humans."

could you imagine..Tobacco Hash...That would be so hardcore...lol

I have never done so, but in theory you should be able to make tobacco "hash" with the same method you use to make iso hash, only with water instead. But first a disclaimer:

NEVER EAT "TOBACCO HASH/TAR"! ONE LARGE CIGAR CONTAINS ENOUGH NICOTINE TO KILL AN AVERAGE SIZED MAN! [When you smoke tobacco, most of the nicotine is destroyed, when you consume tobacco concentrate orally, a significantly larger proportion of the drug makes it to your bloodstream]

Step 1: Soak tobacco in just enough water(instead of alcohol) to cover all plant material. Use as little water as possible.
Step 2: Leave covered overnight
Step 3: Strain plant material from now blackened water
Step 4: Leave liquid sitting in a warm sunny place untill water evaporates, leaving tar behind. This is the "hash". Scrape and freebase, but for god sakes be careful.:xmasnut:

If you don't want to ingest it, it makes a great insecticide.

Nicotine — Botanical insecticide. Pure nicotine is a tobacco extract highly toxic to warm-blooded animals. The insecticide usually is marketed as a 40% liquid concentrate of nicotine sulfate, which is diluted in water and applied as a spray. Dusts can irritate the skin and are not normally available for garden use. Nicotine is used primarily for piercing sucking-insects such as aphids, whitefiles, leaf hoppers and thrips. Nicotine is more effective when applied during warm weather. It degrades quickly, so can be used on many food plants nearing harvest. It is registered for use on a wide range of vegetable and fruit crops.

Tobacco is the biggest scam if you ask me.
Smoked that shit once and I couldn't move a finger for 2 hours without getting dizzy.
Spent 2 hours laying on the bed motionless till the effects wore off.
My friends say it happened to them the first few times they smoked but doesn't happen again.
My question is, if you smoke something this shitty and it f***s you up the first few times why do you keep smoking it ? :p

But I guess people can have reasons for doing just about anything.
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers.

ROFL.
I knew that one.

See what I'm talking about guys ?

Dangit, they won't let you smoke weed legally, but they'd let you smoke insecticide :D

I enjoyed the hell out of my first cigarette buzz. Still recall sitting on culvert by the railroad tracks, I smoked nearly half a pack in 2 hours. One man's meat is another man's garbage. You're a lucky man, to have had that reaction, but that's not how everyone reacts. I've never enjoyed alcohol in the least, and wonder why the heck people think it's so great, but evidently they get a different experience than I do.

My question is why do people keep doing it after the buzz subsides? It isn't like it getting high on smoked nicotine persists long enough to have you addicted before the high disappears. Of course you can put about 5 of those 4 mg nicotine patches on your arm and you can get wasted beyond belief.

Patches can get you killed too. :p

I don't like alcohol either for the same reason, but I suppose you are correct that it may have different effects on other people. However, all my friends (that are regular smokes now) reported that the effect from their initial smokes was generally really bad.
