A one-hitter is a small pipe designed for single-inhalation use. Typically shaped like a cigarette or a small tube, it facilitates controlled consumption of dried herbs. The device is packed with a small amount of material, ignited, and the resulting smoke is inhaled in one breath.
The appeal of this consumption method lies in its discretion and efficiency. Its compact size allows for easy portability and concealment. Furthermore, because it utilizes only a small quantity of material per use, it can contribute to conservative consumption practices. Historically, such devices have offered a convenient and discreet alternative to larger smoking implements.
