Yeah, but a normal, instinctual breathe-in breathe-out, motion doesn't hold the smoke in your lungs for 1-2s. Usually you'd breathe in til your lungs are full, then immediately breathe out (if that, some might not even inflate their lungs). Pausing and holding for a second does seem to make a difference, anecdotally at least.

That being said, when you feel higher because you've held the smoke in for longer (like zeroing) that's usually just oxygen deprivation and is the same high you can get holding your breath at any time, just mixed with a little weed high.

Yeah I usually will hold for a second or so, just a pause before exhaling. I do think that's more effective than just a straight-up in-out hit, but I don't think you'd see a significant difference between say 1 second and 10 or 20 seconds.
