Some mj polls

Ive been thinking about a few things lately and wanted to see what others thought.
First off when packing a sweet bowl do you break it up by hand or use an alternative method. Do these alternatives give some advantage?
Second I see a lot of people worrying about lung cancer being linked to mj. Out where i live rates for cancer are pretty high regardless of who you are (don't drink teh water!) For me seeing as almost everything is a carcinogen I tend to not worry as much.

I usually break my bud up by hand. I'm also not worried about cancer as I will be using a vape soon and also because of many studies that show no link between mj and cancer. Though I still will use my vape to save my lungs.

Wow, I've never broken up bud unless I'm putting it in a joint/blunt. Usually I just stil a little nug in the bowl and light it up. Any advantage to grinding it up?

Ive tried it that way and my brother swears by it but i find i can smoke less weed for greater affect just by breaking it up a bit. I have friends that say grinding is key but i guess well find out 
sorry for the double post, i know some forums flip about that

when i do break it up, i use a small pair of scissors...buds be too sticky, haha...but other than that i'll just threw a small nug in and smoke like that...im lazy sometimes
As far as cancer goes though, i wouldn't stress it, most of those wack, government-funded studies are filled with misinformation its not even funny

I don't feel the high as much when the bud isn't broken up, nothing annoys me more then when only the fucking sides of the weed burn and barely any air flow can get through. You waste all your breath trying to get a hit and then when you do you can't even hold that shit in anymore because all your breath is gone. Scissors > grinder because grinders rape your weed of crystals, who cares if you have a kief catcher id rather have the crysals be on every bowl I smoke not just one select bowl once Ive built up enough kief to top it off.

I have a good strategy for bowls...keep a paper clip with you, load a nug and aerate that shit...poke holes in it everywhere, light it up, and it'll flare up nicely, you'll get a good round of hits out of whatever you're using....it's ideal for bongs...
Sometimes when you grind it up you can pack fatty bowls and get a shitload of smoke first hit but might as well just do waterfalls when it comes down to it..
...Aaaand, we're all going to die eventually anyway...hahaha.

Damn, well I mean I've always heard of packing a bowl but I never understood the advantage to "packing".
What is the best way to pack a bowl in a normal pipe?
and what are the advantages?

only custies use grinders.
If the weed is really good, I use scissors and smoke little chunks at a time. I like to often smoke the nug in its natural state. I dont have to use my fingers, just scissors and plop the small nug in the bowl.
I am all about the bowls because contrary to popular belief, joints, bongs, and blunts are for custies.
Sorry bob

Oh. My. !
I break it with my fingers. Its more of a ritual thing for me, something about sticky fingers and funky fingernails that gives me good vibes. Plus most people that carry their grinders around that i know are just keef whores, and i ain't bout' that.

I don't know if marijuana use is linked to cancer; i'm leaning towards no, but if so - it's worth it ten times over.

yea, i recently started just sticking with the scissors...it was too hard to toke when i threw an unbroken nug in the bowl, but i'll still do it if i'm trying to get a quick bowl in before i gotta go somewhere or do something

Grinder for bongs , usually not smaller pipes, but I still do prefer it that way. Grinder for anything rolled . It makes the bud burn perfectly every time, whether in a joint or in a bowl. It burns faster (in a bowl), and imo gets you higher. In a joint, it will burn like a cigarette (or at least mine do ). No running, no going out. Smooth perfect hits from start to finish. 
Not to mention the kief collection! WOWOWOWOWO! I love my kief!! Another thought, most of the bud I get is too sticky to break by hand (not for bowls, but to break up enough for a J or blunt leaves me with:

I use tweezers to hold my nugs, and a small pair of scissors to break it up, this way I barely loose any trichomes and after a month I scrape the resin off my scissors and press it into hash.
I hate grinders, and I HATE HATE HATE when I see people breaking dank bud up with their fingers, biggest pet peave ever.

I find the best way to load a bowl is to shove a whole nugget in there. As for the cancer, well, skin cancer maybe but aside from that no

dont worry about cancer when it comes to weed smoking?
If still worried, vap the goodness out of that sweet plant.
Given its taste, I wonder if it was meant to be smoked constantly.
Kidding.
Smoke is bad for your lungs, but I really wouldnt worry about it.

I've never once packed an entire nug into a bowl. I take my time, de-steming to perfection so i can use them for hash later. Many times, a nug will have a nice big stem inside of it - doesn't make sense to me to keep it 'undisturbed' when you can easilly break it up, and pack it without losing anything at all.
Then again, i'm assuming that everyone has the luxury of smoking in their own home, as opposed to in a car, or outside....ect. I could see the convenience to nug packing in other situations, but i personally would still do my ritual.

If I see someone shoving a a whole bud into a bowl it makes them seem like a noob. If you can smoke indoors and have the time to break it up then do it. You end up charring the shit out of the weed when its not broken up cuz you have to light it and inhale so hard.

I don't mind grinders, because getting that pollen is nice, and after smoking a bag you can load up a bowl of keef to finish off the session for you. I usually use my fingers though.
I never just pack a bud. I always take the time to get the stems out.

If it's really good bud I have to use scissors to cut it up and I try not to disturb it as much as I can.
As for me being worried about it giving me cancer. Well I'm more worried about getting cancer from breathing in car exhaust and all the pollution in our citys then I am from smoking weed.
