Homonym: Bong (Sound)
A bong is a filtration device used for smoking, typically made from glass, plastic, or ceramic. It consists of a bowl for holding the substance, a downstem that connects to a water chamber, and a mouthpiece for inhalation. When the user inhales, smoke is drawn through the water, which cools and filters it before reaching the lungs.
Bongs are often associated with the consumption of cannabis or tobacco. They come in various shapes and sizes, and some may include additional features like percolators or ice catchers to enhance the smoking experience.
