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.

Warnings

Smoking is always harmful for your lungs even though tea is a natural and healthy plant.

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