​Filtered impurities: The water can help trap some of the harmful substances and particulates in the smoke, potentially making it a cleaner option.

Smoother hits: Bongs filter smoke through water, which cools it down and can make for a smoother inhalation.

Bigger hits: Bongs allow users to take larger hits at once, which can lead to more intense effects.

Non-porous surface: Glass has a non-porous surface, which means it doesn’t absorb substances or bacteria.

Less odor: The water can help reduce the strong smell of the smoke, making it less noticeable.

​Less waste: Unlike joints, which require rolling papers and can be wasteful, bongs can use a smaller amount of material for a similar effect.

Easy to use: Simply fill with water, pack the bowl, and light—it's straightforward, even for beginners.
