My roomates and I just bought a hookah and we've been enjoying it quite frequently over the last few days. I was just curious how much smoking a hookah will affect my lungs. I've heard rumors that smoking an entire bowl is the equivilent of one cigarette, but I don't know how true this is. Anyone have any articles or know anything about this?


btw--what is your favorite flavor of shisha? I like apple!

Peach or strawberry.

But hmmm...as far as I was told, hookah really isn't too terrible for you compared to ciggs. My grandparents, though...when they had their hookah, that shit fucked. you. up.

I started smoking out of a Hooka because my friend from Saudi got my hooked on it. He hates when I call it a Hooka because its some hippy white word (his words)... One bowl is about 1 pack of cigarettes in terms of nicatene, but there is no tar in it.. but its still REALLY bad for you.

The ones is tried are Strawberry, Mixed Fruit and Apple. I dont really care for Strawberry.

From my experience, mango tastes like raisins.

Oh shits...for real? Haha, I didn't know it had nicotene.

I would think its a bit worse, you know, without that whole filter thing going for you. Still, the only form of tobacco that I not only use, but endorse.

it actually has very little nicotene

and me and my friends used to smoke it nearly every other day for about 4 years straight.

i was never addiceted to it and neither were my friends.

It's just as bad, if not worse, it still has tar in it. Science rules.

Oh, ok. Thank God.

It doesnt have as much Nicotene, but the amount that hits your lungs is greater because it produces so much more smoke than a ciggarette. There are also less carcinagins (SP?) since the tobacco is heated and not burned.

it doesn;t take a rocket scienets to know that any form of smoke you inhale is not good for you.

If it weren't for the health hazards, I would've taken my out of the utility closet years ago. Love the thing, just a shame I can't indulge in it. If I ever get diagnosed with a terminal disease though, that baby's going to become my third arm.
