Its been proven that the basic bong system is one of the most effective ways to filter smoke, using water- set up a small bong from an old pepper pot, insert your smoke into the bowl, and toke it like a cigarette.

Actually it has been proven that they are one of the worst ways to filter out tars...as roughly an equal amount of "good stuff" is filtered out too. Source: http://rockscillc.com/Studies/SmokingDeviceStudy.htm

I'm fairly certain the best way to filter is to avoid the need. Vaporizer anyone?

A screen in the bottom of the bong breaks up the bubbles, which increases surface area and chills the smoke a lot better. Also takes out a lot of tar from the smoke. Can't do it with glass bongs though. I make aluminum bongs with brass bowls

Just a small point of fact: copper contains arsenic.

Last I heard, people don't smoke water.

Last I heard, arsenic is poisonous when ingested. If copper water piping had arsenic, it would poison the people who drank the water from it. Your point is moot. Just thought I'd say.

While its a bit of a moot point but copper is fairly dangerous to be breathing through.

(Soapbox Moment) The best thing is to not smoke in the first place. There is no good or better cigarette. Cold turkey. Don't wait till you finish what you have. Destroy it, symbolically. Stick it out. IT'S TOUGH!. Change your habits to make it harder to smoke. Don't smoke in your car. Don't smoke in your house. If you did smoke in the car or house, clean it. Get rid of the smells. Live longer. Die quicker with less prolonged pain.

well since ur comment was never really answered..ill answer it..the smoke is bad but that is not what its stopping. There are several heavier and denser chemicals in cigarettes that are larger then the gas particles and can effectivly be filtered off for example tar. the smaller the particles the less likely they will be cauight and filtered so therefore the nicotine and gases get through

I think that it is pretty funny that you are worried about putting a piece of copper in your mouth but don't mind the smoking. smoking is much more harmful than a piece of copper
