Question

How do I light it so it burns slowly?

Community Answer

Hold the lighter to where the flame barely touches the end, hold for about 10 seconds then blow lightly at the lit end. It should maintain a steady pace of burning but if not, then simply repeat.

Question

Will I get smoker's breath?

Community Answer

Yes, you will, but flossing, brushing and mouthwash will hide the scent. If you don't have mint mouthwash, you can use Tic Tacs or other mint-flavoured, chewy edibles.

Question

Can you use any sort of tea for this such as Lipton black tea or chamomile?

Most natural teas are good. Anything not natural is immediately out. If you don’t know if it is natural or not, best to leave it for next time.

If you're unsure weather your tea is safe to smoke, it's best to not. Better safe than sorry.
