We can trace the first evidence of bongs back to central Asia and Africa. There is also some evidence in Russia that dates back 2400 years ago. Interestingly, in ancient Russia, bongs were made for royalty; tribal chiefs used golden bongs to smoke. Chinese royalty were found buried with their bongs. Ancient bongs were made out of animal horns, ducts, and bottles.
Central Asia first came up with the word bong. The people there used bongs made out of bamboo trees. The Chinese people introduced the use of water in bongs, and the practice spread throughout Asia.
Bongs grew in popularity after tobacco became a major cash crop in America. Glass was also a major commodity in the 18th century, and that’s when bongs became popular. In the late 90s, there were many retailers of the bong.
However, their happiness didn’t last long because America started making great efforts to ban bongs in 2003. Bong retailers were closed down. Additionally, internet sellers did not escape the wrath as they were also shut down.
The good news is that the ban was lifted, and bongs are legal for use. Sellers seem to be outdoing each other regarding innovation and design. Reviews show that many smokers lean more towards silicone bongs because they are more durable, foldable, and can’t break. If you like dabs, waxes, and oils, there are special bongs just for that purpose.
