What is a blinker when smoking?

A blinker, also commonly known as a ghost hit or shotgun hit, is a smoking technique where the person holds the smoke from their hit in their mouth, then releases it slowly or rapidly in a controlled manner. This technique is often used in social smoking settings as a way to show off or impress others with their ability to control and manipulate smoke.

To perform a blinker, the person takes a hit from their smoking device, then holds the smoke in their mouth without inhaling it into their lungs. They can then either release the smoke slowly in a controlled manner, creating a thin and precise stream of smoke, or they can release it rapidly in a burst, creating a larger cloud of smoke.

Blinkers are often performed with joints, blunts, or pipes, but can also be done with vaporizers or other smoking devices. It is important to note that holding smoke in the mouth for an extended period of time can cause irritation or discomfort, so it is best to practice moderation and not overdo it.
