Vaporisers have a built-in heating element, which heats the your favourite herbs to a sub-flammable temperature, thus activating and releasing all the all active chemicals in the Herb of your choice.

This way you inhale all the good parts of the herb without the tar and carbon monoxide, which are hazardous for lungs and health. The first vaporiser was made in 1995.

It should preferably be placed at your bedside every night, to thin out the mucus. Short of a vaporizer, breathing in steam on a regular basis by boiling water can be used but is not as satisfactory.
