How long do you hold the smoke in your lungs? Does it change depending on what sort of mechanism for smoking you use? Do you believe in the old adage, “if you don’t cough, you don’t get off”? Tell me about your breathing habits when smoking.

That’s a myth, though good advice for the “I don’t get high” crowd. If the smoke enters your lungs the vast majority of thc gets absorbed instantly. At most, a second is all that’s needed.
The problem is for the people who don’t fully inhale, and the smoke never reaches their lungs. Telling them to “hold it in” usually gets them to take a deeper breath. It’s not needed if you actually fully inhale.
As a long time smoker I always believed the longer you hold it in the better. I just found out within the last year or so that it’s a myth. I’ve since changed the way I smoke which has resulted in a lot less coughing lol
