The glass bong, also known as a water pipe, has been a popular tool for smoking herbs and tobacco for centuries. Yes, you read that right: centuries. The history of the glass bong can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and the Persians, who used rudimentary versions made of materials such as bamboo and animal horns.

 

It wasn’t until the Ming Dynasty in China that the first glass bongs were created.

 

The ones from China were made of glass and were used primarily for smoking tobacco.

 

Then, the glass bongs also become popular among the wealthy and the nobility of Europe.

 

In the 1960s and the 1970s, glass bongs became increasingly popular in the United States of America as part of the counterculture movement. They were used to smoke marijuana, which was becoming more and more available at the time.
