I saw somewhere, in multiple places, that it does NOT get you higher to hold it in when you inhale. That goes against everything I've ever heard of. I don't think I know anyone who doesn't hold it in with every hit. Is this common?

This is definitely contrary to a lot of anecdotal evidence in my life lol, so I’d be interested to see the science behind this claim. It would make sense that there is a limit at least, like beyond 5 seconds or something your lungs will have absorbed all they can absorb.

You absorb the vast majority within the first second of inhale.

Technically, holding up to 5 seconds increases intake minutely, but its not really that big of a difference.

You just feel light headed when you hold your breath while smoking, which makes you feel more inebriated.
