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.

I vary, but often I do five-second holds. Not so long that I completely asphyxiate myself, but I'm a bit skeptical of the idea that THC absorbs instantaneously the instant it enters the lungs. Takes a small amount of time, 5 seconds is plenty.
