Lovelyish

any person smoking looks unattractive. regardless of what they are smoking.

I tried it when I was in Germany. It was a cool one time thing, but I don’t plan to do it again.

Not my thing.

I smoke it about once a week (I have my own hookah). Meh. I find it relaxing and I enjoy it on a nice cool evening as I unwind from my day.

I’ve done it a couple times and I found it enjoyable, but I had this strange feeling like I was letting myself and others close to me down. Smoking is smoking. Even when it taste like fruit and honey. And actually, hooka makes me high as hell. It was a bit unnerving.

I go to a hookah bar with my friends a few times year. I’d actually like to do it more often but it’s a very social thing and my friends are constantly busy so it’s nice to just relax in a chilled out place like a hookah bar and smoke something tasty when we get together. And of course smoking in any form is not good for you but this stuff is not addictive and it’s meant to be a once in awhile thing. Cause other then hookah I don’t smoke anything else, do drugs or even drink. So doing this is really not going to kill me.

I do it sometimes, I don’t mind it. we just all get together and chat around it and do hookah!  I don’t think its sexi or skany haha it just fun to do with friends.

Is this seriously a question? Since when smoking becomes hot?

Really disgusting, if I know a girl I like smokes, I’m done, instantly. 

I’m also allergic, so its a horrible thing, and I also think its a waste of money… I’d rather spend those few bucks or save them up for a date or adventure..there are many more ways to have healthier fun

i own a hookah and i love it. i smoke it 3 times a week. i sometimes get tobacco, but usually i get flavored and herbal molasses. they taste so good, especially the tangerine dream and strawberry margarita flavors.and even if you do get the tobacco, there’s no tar or harmful chemicals in it and only .005% nicotine. its nothing like cigarettes. i think its really fun to do especially with other people, so its more of a social activity. i love my hookah and think theres nothing wrong with smoking one.

I like hookah. I know, I know.

makes me too lightheaded

Are you nuts? Your statement that hookah has “none of the harmful chemicals that cigarettes do” is totally false. Tobacco smoke is tobacco smoke, regardless of what form it takes (cigarettes, pipe, cigar, hookah, etc.). There is no safe way to smoke tobacco, period. Hell, even smokeless tobacco is as dangerous as cigarettes!

I mean, do what you want but quit deluding yourself into thinking you aren’t hurting yourself. Even occasional smokers have an exponentially greater risk of cancer than non-smokers.

And yes, you CAN get addicted to nicotine by smoking hookah, because hookah smoke has nicotine in it, just like other forms of tobacco, so don’t even think you can’t get hooked.

It’s a type of smoking and it’s nasty to me. It’s unnecessary and personally they shouldn’t act like it’s less harmful that smoking cigs . Tobacco is tobacco, no matter how you smoke it.

I’ve never tried it but I keep wanting to. Most of my friends that live in Miami are more of the innocent type so they’re not willing to try it. I do have some friends that I could go with, I probably just wouldn’t feel as comfortable.

I really, really like Hookah. Reminds me of summertime- of course, it’d be down to once a week or less. Now after recent situations I haven’t been able to smoke hookah :/ what sucks is smelling the delicious scents whenever my friends would smoke it around me.

I think it’s skanky. Is it impossible to have fun without hurting yourself?

i like hookah! people need to be more open with trying new things -_-

I’m that person that is all anti drugs and will never try any sort of drug.  But I decided to just try hookah who knows why, pretty stupid, I know.  I guess because it didn’t seem as harmful or addictive.  It did nothing for me.  I think mostly because I’m so anti drugs, which means I think it’s stupid to need substances to feel “good”.  So to me it was just stupid…and the whole time I was like “wtf, this does nothing, why do people do this?”  My brain is too stubborn to be taken over by substances, which is also why I never get drunk, even when I’ve tried to (you know for kicks and giggles).  I guess it’s a good thing, because I’ll never want that feeling because I’ve never experienced it.

Alas, don’t take my word for it, but a lot of studies actually show that hookah is more dangerous than cigarettes: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/31/health/31hookah.html?_r=1

Sexy? Skanky? This has nothing to do with hookah. Smoking hookah is just that, nothing more. A hot guy smoking a hookah is just as attractive, to me, as a guy not smoking anything. What is terribly unattractive, to me, are people who get all, “ew smoking is gross and people who smoke are gross ewwww there are cooler ways to die…” From then on, I can just see a “I’m annoying, stay away from me” sign around their neck.

I mean, it’s great that people have their own opinions and shit, but at a certain point I have to wonder why people get all up in arms about anything tobacco-related, when a good portion of them are probably sitting there eating foods that will clog their arteries, and tolerant of drinking alcohol that we all know causes a lot of health problems and accidents. Really, just about anything can kill you or hurt you in some way, whether short or long term… I don’t smoke cigarettes, but I’ve been to a hookah bar and I quite enjoyed it and would consider going back again. It’s relaxing and a nice way to chill with friends without going to a noisy club or bar.

@sassypenguin@xanga - Agreed, thanks :]

@StatelessPilot@revelife - lovely to see that some people have the correct knowledge of hookah- and better yet, will share it. Thanks for your post!

I smoked Hookah a few times.  It’s fun.  I wouldn’t do it all the time, though.

It’s alright, I usually have to smoke a couple of bowls of it in order to feel anything. It can get kinda boring, too. So I don’t do it often. But I love making smoke bubbles!

@blackspiders@xanga - Agreed. Those people just expect everybody to be perfect innocent little angles. It’s kinda pathetic.

@StatelessPilot@revelife - While this may very well be true, I’m not about to stop smoking hookah and turn around and gripe about other people smoking. At that point I might as well stop drinking, going out in the sun, and throw out my computer because there have been studies that show staring at this screen can eventually harm your eyes. If you haven’t seen any part of the film “Supersize Me” I’d be surprised, but I know plenty of people who watched that movie and still continue to eat their fatty fried McFood. Good information to know, though. I’ll be dead someday, but I’m not going to live in a figurative bubble my whole life just because nearly every day we discover something is linked to cancer or health problems.  :/

@StatelessPilot@revelife - Whoa chill! She didn’t say it didn’t have tobacco, just not the harmful chemicals found in cigs. That’s not the same thing.

I’ve smoked hookah a few times, it’s a fun social activity. I don’t think it’s as big of a deal as some of these people are making it out to be, unless you’re smoking all the fucking time.

@blackspiders@xanga - Alcohol is different because a moderated consumption has been shown to confer many health benefits (reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, etc.). I’m also a raw vegan, so no, I don’t eat that nasty shit either. I’m actually a health nut, so I am in no way being hypocritical.

For the record, I support decriminalizing all drugs. Whatever a person wants to put into his or her body is none of my business nor the government’s. That said, I refuse to associate with people who have destructive lifestyles.

@LoveeLikeASunset@xanga - 

Which is precisely what I was sayin was bullshit. Hookah most certainly DOES have all the harmful chemicals that cigarettes do. The water does nothing to filter any of that shit out, contrary o popular belief.

@blackspiders@xanga - Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Agreed.

Why would it be “sexy” or “skanky” ? 

Hookah is more unhealthy than cigarettes.

I used to smoke cigarettes but I quit. I’ve tried hookah a few times, after my friends were smoking “bubblegum” flavored hookah I completely lost interest. Nasty. I’d rather have a cigarette anyday, but those are also terrible for me so I’m not doing that anymore.

@StatelessPilot@revelife - Yeah and it actually is more harmful according to scientific studies, you’re absolutely correct. 

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it that you usually smoke shisha out of a hookah? not smoke hookah?  the hookah is the device.  you don’t say, “I smoke pipe”,  ”I smoke cigarette”, or “I smoke water pipe”

Ew.   I have an issue with inhaling smoke into my lungs, of any kind.  I don’t mind if my fiance smokes weed (which is once in a blue moon), but cigarettes I cannot stand.  And I don’t know much about hookah, but it looks unappealing.

Used to be hooked on it and I even have my own hooka given to me as a present.  I used to do a lot of studying at my college’s local hooka joint.  I absolutely abhor cigs but shesha smell sooo good and it’s easier to do tricks with the smoke. 

A $900 bill for burning the carpet at my last apartment got me to stop immediately.  Plus, it’s just unhealthy.  I felt the effects trying to run after doing a lot of smoking.  I might do it once in a blue moon now a days with friends, but I definitely held back compared to before.

I don’t see it either as sexy or skanky. It’s kind of a regular everyday activity around here and I smoke hookah with friends probably a few times a month, whenever they feel like bringing it out of home. It’s nice though, I like it.

no, I found out a few months ago that I’m allergic to smoke, so if I’m in a room of clouded smoke, I’ll likely get bronchitis. no way.

@blackspiders@xanga - Why would you knowingly harm yourself?

No thanks. Lung issues. 

Nooope, I refuse to smoke anything.

GROSS. Still equivalent to smoking cigarettes in my eyes.

I lovee Hookah!

We do Hookah with our friends once in a while, I like the relaxed feeling it gives me especially at the lounge that we go to, it has comfy couches and nice lighting. 

personally, i love it.  it’s a great way for me to relax, and i don’t see how it’s any more harmful than other things you can do to your body.  everything causes cancer.  unless you live in a UV-proof bubble, you’ll probably catch it eventually.    i see my doctor once a year and make sure he checks out my respiratory system for any issues.  so far, nothing  

@theflowerstem@xanga - so i’m assuming you avoid all trans fat, wear 100 SPF sunscreen, and never hold your cell phone too close to your head?  

@StatelessPilot@revelife - actually, it doesn’t.  many of the harmful chemicals in cigarettes come from the paper and the resin used to hold the whole thing together.  there’s no paper in hookah, and the tobacco is loose.  the most unhealthy part about a hookah is probably the coal, but its impact can be minimized by removing it once the tobacco is lit.  nicotine in itself is addictive, but it isn’t inherently any more harmful than other drugs.  

@lilblucherrygrl@xanga - i wish you lived in my hometown!  i’m always looking for a hookah buddy

@too_pretty_to_die@xanga - Haha yeah I’m always looking for more people to smoke hookah with either in PA or NY =)

@lilblucherrygrl@xanga - blah, too far  

My friend bought a hookah so we do it whenever the moment strikes us. It’s fun and relaxing and I love trying the different flavors.

I’ve never done it. Sometimes my friends do at parties, but it makes me feel really uncomfortable, especially if my boyfriend wants to. :\

I love hookah, but then again, I smoke cigarettes.

I put weed in my Hookah, an it’s not skanky at all. ? 

@blackspiders@xanga - took the words right out of my mouth. i hate how people consider smoking to be a deal-breaker, but they don’t consider what their daily diets are or what their drinking habits are like. everything in excess can be harmful in someway. likewise, anything in moderation can be okay.

@too_pretty_to_die@xanga - I avoid the bad trans fats, 100 spf sunscreen is useless it doesn’t do anything more than 30 or 50spf. I wear 30 spf with uva/uvb protection and I don’t talk on my cellphone I text. This isn’t 1995, who calls anymore? Smoking has nothing but negative effects on your health and if you already know that then why do it? Why put yourself at a higher risk for cancer? I value my life I’m not going to intentionally kill myself.

@evangeliaaa@xanga - Smoking in moderation is not okay, if that’s what you want to do then do it, but don’t make misleading statements just to make yourself feel better about doing something that you know is wrong.

Being sexy or skanky has nothing to do with smoking hookah.  The fuck.

@too_pretty_to_die@xanga - Unfortunately, a different set of harmful chemicals/effects are found when smoking shisha. Most obviously, you are inhaling a great deal more smoke and nicotine during an hour with a hookah versus a cigarette. “[A] 45-minute session of shisha corresponds to smoking 40 cigarettes[.]“ Source

“[W]hen smoke goes through water humidity in smoke increases and it then tends to stay for a longer time in the lungs[.]“ Source
“[A]luminium foil … reacts with the burning charcoal and produces aluminium fumes[.]“ Source
That being said, I’m not against it and go out maybe once a year. But I wouldn’t want to do that deluding myself into thinking that it isn’t as bad, if not worse, than cigarettes. Never hurts to be informed.

i don’t think it’s sexy or skanky. like the other ppl said, it really is just something to do. a social thing mostly.

i like it occasionally

Also like cigs ocasionaly, and weed ocasionally.
But my mom told me i’d get herpies? WTF…. no idea.And I don’t really care.  The people I smoke with don’t have herpies and I’d probaly get it macking and fucking (which I havn’t) them rather then smoking with them,

@theflowerstem@xanga - 

“Smoking has nothing but negative effects on your health and if you already know that then why do it?”
because many things we do have negative effects on our health.  i don’t see why smoking should freak me out more than other bad habits.  especially shisha, which isn’t something i have easy access to and can smoke on a regular basis.  thanks to my family working almost entirely in the medical field, i’m fully aware of the diseases i’m most at risk for and, therefore, need to be the most concerned about.  smoking a hookah doesn’t impact any of them.  
“ I value my life I’m not going to intentionally kill myself.”
good for you.  but you know what i find to be just as much of a turn off?  self-righteousness.  i’ll take my cancer and humility.  you can keep your nasty attitude.  

@angelicgekko@xanga - um… do you have any links to actual medical studies, not just newspaper articles?

nyc hookah bars are nice/fun. ive always enjoyed them here and there.

Me and my friends got into it in college while obsessing over the beauty of smoke and the difficulty of capturing it in art. As an illustration major at the time it was a great thing to experiment with using different mediums to capture the natural and unpredictable way smoke moves or can be manipulated by someone exhaling it out of their lungs. And yes a good deep inhale will also relax you while you draw 

@xxx_MYLiFE@xanga - If something is bad for your health, which hookah is, don’t try to argue, then no, you shouldn’t be “open” to it unless you are already a smoker because they it really doesn’t make a difference where you are getting your fix. If you want to try hookah and smoke it, fine, but don’t criticize people by saying they need to be “open to new things”. You could say the same thing about LSD.

I have never smoked it, nor will I ever because of my asthma, but I’ve hung out in cafes in Egypt while others smoked it. At least it smells a lot better than cigarettes and I’m not gagging on the second hand smoke.

@evangeliaaa@xanga - Smoking is a deal breaker for me because 1) I hate the smell and don’t want to kiss or cuddle McSmokey and 2) I don’t want to have to “deal” with someone smoking around me, which I often end up doing if I know they are addicted, example, my mom. I’ve been with a guy who never smoked around me and was good about keeping himself from smelling like it, but then I took him to my senior prom and he NEEDED he go out and smoke, and I couldn’t even hug him

@theflowerstem@xanga - Just want to ask you…… How is it skanky?….

@jadeeexxx@xanga - Thats the only time I’ve ever smoked out of a hookah! lol

SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY

I love love love Hookah. I dont go to hookah bars or anything, I have one and so do some of my friends. I smoke about twice a month, I like to just kick back with friends.

my old city has a hookah bar and i miss it. it was fun and the environment was very relaxed and chill, and i’d go with my friends at night and just hang out. there were tons of different flavors so it was always fun to try new ones. i haven’t smoked hookah since last summer.

I LOVEEEEEEEEEE smoking Hookah. Def a fun time with friends. I love the flavors too. 

I have yet to give this a try

@too_pretty_to_die@xanga - Just because you do one bad thing doesn’t mean you have to do another. Smoking ids worse than some other bad habits (ie eating junk food) because the harmful effects come much faster and are worse.

@bbanmen420@xanga - Because it makes you look skanky. Yellow teeth, bad skin, bad breath, yuck.

@theflowerstem@xanga - much faster?  i started hookah and a terrible diet at around the same age.  so far, no health problems yet in relation to hookah.  on the other hand, i’m already almost pre-diabetic.  you can guess which health problem concerns me more, and which one i have quit already.  

perhaps it’s my family, but many of the older adults have smoked for more than half their lives with no negative health effects.  those that died, died due to illnesses unrelated to smoking.   i just don’t see how it’s any worse or disgusting than other habits.  plenty of other things (overeating, tanning, binge drinking) are bigger turn offs for me.   

@blackspiders@xanga - For me I hate smoking because 1. my ex girlfriend almost died from it and 2. the smell/smoke gives me massive headaches. 3. the stink of it gets into everything. 4. people put their nasty ass butts everywhere. I yell at my friends who don’t use my outside trashcan. They know I cannot handle the smell. 

One of my best friends is Israeli and has her own hookah pipe. It’s beautiful…and huge. I love to smoke it with her! I don’t smoke to be attractive but because it is YUMMY! Grape, apple, pear, peach….yumyum!

It’s really not that big of a deal. Especially in other cultures.

Look here: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hookah/AN01265 

look it up again. Hookah is horrible for you! I smoked it once and after I read about it, it was my first and last time. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hookah/AN01265

Some of my best memories come from times I’ve smoked hookah with my friends.

I LOVE hookah, but I can’t smoke it as often as I’d like as I’m still living at home, without a job or a car and the closest hookah bar to me is about 15-20min driving distance…

sexy or skanky? wth? that really has nothing to do with hookah… unless you’re talking about peeps that get turned on by smokers? in which case, that should be saved for a whole different post specifically about that… I am neutral on whether a guy smokes or not as long as he doesn’t smell like an old ash tray all the time.

@blackspiders@xanga - haha loved your comment! i totally agree.

i went to a hookah bar the weekend i turned 18, i havent gotten to go back to one but my husband and i bought our own when we went to the beach, they have so many cool flavors!

It’s one of those things that’s neither sexy nor skanky.It’s just one of those things that people do. And it most certainly isn’t bad. Although most of my time in NYC the hookah bars were packed

smoke it daily, but i use herbal shisha instead of tobacco. all i want is flavor and to play with the smoke, not the lightheaded feeling

Uh… glorifying smoking are we? I never got the appeal. I’m not putting that shit in my body, and I don’t hang around people who like to put shit like this in their body, so works out great for me. I grew up with grandparents who smoked or chewed tobacco every day – it’s not healthy for you, AT ALL!

You inhale 100 to 200 the amount of of smoke you would smoking a cigarette. You are at the same risk as smoking a cigg if you smoke hooka. 

Do people not google these things?

Nope. Smoking anything can be tough on your throat and I’m a singer. People smoke hookah by the music building at school and when I pass by them (we don’t have many paths to our building so sometimes it’s unavoidable) the smoke often irritates my eyes and gives me a bit of a sore throat. I don’t think I’ll ever try it, not even just once in a while.

@theflowerstem@xanga -  Yeah, well thats not exactly skanky… Dressing like one is but not smoking…

@bbanmen420@xanga - Well the person doing it looks trashy.

@fightingXstronger@xanga - Smoking of all kinds/types is bad for everybody!

It’s neither sexy nor skanky. I’ve done it twice in my life… both times I got grossed out by passing it around from person to person, and my chest hurt. Never again.

@rabbitsarecool14@xanga - You do realize that alcohol is a mind altering substance and “drug” as well right? Sorry, this statement of being anti drug rubs me the wrong way when it’s made by drinkers. So when you say you’ve never tried a drug you’re forgetting that you have used substances for “kicks and giggles” and even tried purposefully to get drunk. It’s the same mindset of those who smoke or use other substances. It’s a personal choice, yes… but don’t make it seem like it’s anything other than what it is. If you profess being above the influence you should practice it. This wouldn’t erk me so much if I wasn’t one of those people who truly abstains and practices what I preach. But, to each their own I guess. 

@blondiedeam@xanga - any tobacco is bad for you, its a myth that it isnt.

Breathing in hookah isnt nearly as bad as inhaling cigarette smoke in the short term, true, but that doesnt mean it isnt without the same risks due to smoking and prolonged exposure. Because it is less harmful in the short term people think they can use it often without consequences, which is untrue. Long term consequences are THE SAME as cigarettes, etc.

@MyGlosoli@xanga - I’m not a drinker.  I have tried alcohol and like I said, tried once to see if it would truly alter my state of mind.  Saying I’m “anti-drugs” I’m not trying to be all holier than thou, I’m just giving an impression of how I sort of think about it all.  That is, I think these sort of things are unnecessary to give us pleasure, etc.  I’m a realistic person, I know people will do what they want, I don’t really care what people do, it’s their own life.  I’m also realistic that I know people enjoy these “drugs” because it gives pleasure and is “mind altering” which is also why I’ve tried things like hookah.  It’s just my personal opinion that I think they’re really useless, mostly because they don’t do anything for me.

I smoke Hookah occasionally.  Only socially really, though. However, I do not need to smoke or drink anything in order to have a good time.  If it’s there or offered I’ll usually accept, but it is not necessary for me to have fun.  It is rather ignorant to assume that someone is incapable of having a nice time sober just because a person partakes in activities that involve substances occasionally.

I’m not delusional either, of course it’s bad for me.  I’ve read the studies and I’ve informed several of my friends about them as well.  Honestly, if a person is going to partake in smoking anything, or putting anything in her/his body that isn’t the norm, education is key.  Just because I smoke it doesn’t mean I’m stupid or misinformed, though.  Am I now at risk for developing cancer?  Maybe – but I’ve met enough people who don’t smoke, drink, or anything of that nature die from cancer, too.  I’m just not going to limit my experiences in life based on studies alone.

@Life333888@xanga - Yeahhh..lol. I’m not a smoker, just so you know. But I’m not gonna judge anybody if they do smoke.

I tried it twice. The first time I got extremely light headed and felt like I was going to pass out. The second time confirmed it was the hookah and not me when I had the reoccurring symptom. 

Done with it.

I tried Hookah once in Israel, and the flavor is what saved me but yeah once in a while isn’t as bad as doing it everyday! =]

Glad that you enjoyed your experience

BTW which bar did you go too? (out of curiosity…and if I want to try it again)…

It seems like everyone smokes hookah. o.O It’s not my thing, though.

i love smoking hookah. i actually have one at my house. and ive worked at a hookah lounge. its so much fun, i miss it. they had belly dancers at the one i worked at.

It’s neither sexy or skanky, it’s something to thoroughly enjoy

I don’t inhale anything.  It’s neither sexy nor skanky, but it may be stupid.  

@fightingXstronger@xanga - I know, but smoking is bad for you!

@rabbitsarecool14@xanga - Hookah doesn’t mean you smoke pot. It isn’t a drug, it’s used for tobacco. Some people who own hookahs do you use them for pot but not all, especially not in Hookah bars.

Never tried it. It’s not really my thing. I don’t like to smoke cigarettes at all, so I’m not sure why I would want to “hookah”. 

I’ve smoked hookah. I have my own hookah, but I really don’t smoke it very often. Only about 2 or 3 times a year. 

I like hookah on rare occasion, despite being against smoking (for myself) and despite being an asthmatic.  Hookah is less damaging way form of smoking in my opinion, though thats up for debate… but your kidding yourself if you think its harm free.  Your inhaling smoke into your lungs.  It’s still a drug.  But sexy or skanky? Umm…. no… that’s a weird question.  It’s just smoking.

@Digital_Angel21@xanga - Eating cake and drinking is bad for your health too, so I’m going to assume that you never had a sip of alcohol in your life and that you eat healthy all the time. I think lots of people have at least tried alcohol because they are open to it and want to see how it’s like to be drunk/buzzed. But f*ck them, right? Because alcohol is unhealthy!

 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080125013001AAJHDoz Lots of studies says hookah is worse than cigarettes.. that link shows that there are experimental flaws. There’s also not a lot of studies done on hookah smoking.   

@xxx_MYLiFE@xanga - Of course I’ve had cake and alcohol. You totally missed my point and acted like I was attacking people who smoke. If someone told me they didn’t eat cake or never drank for health reasons, I wouldn’t tell them “oh my god you need to be open minded” because that is just dumb. You shouldn’t accuse someone of being closed minded because of the choices they make toward their health. 

I think it’s just personal opinion

THE@StatelessPilot@revelife -  THERE ARE MOSDEF ADDITIVES IN MOST COMMON TOBACCO PRODUCTS!… JUST AS THERE ARE ORGANIC FOODS, & WHAT’S CALLED “CONVENTIONAL” FOODS WITH ADDITIVES, PRESERVATIVES, PESTICIDES, & THE LIKE!… THERE ARE ALSO, ORGANIC TOBACCO PRODUCTS VS. “CONVENTIONAL” TOBACCO PRODUCTS!… AMERICAN SPIRIT BRAND VS. LET’S SAY… MARLBORO, FOR EXAMPLE!… &, “CONVENTIONAL” TOBACCO PRODUCTS HAVE OVER 400 DIFFERENT ADDITIVES, INCLUDING FORMALDIHIDE, WHICH IS WHAT KILLS YOU, *NOT* THE TOBACCO ITSELF!… AMERICAN INDIANS HAVE BEEN SMOKING TOBACCO FOR AGES!… IT’S NATURAL, & ORGANICALLY GROWN, WILL *NOT* KILL YOU!… NICOTENE IS THE ADDICTIVE AGENT IN TOBACCO, *NOT* THE KILLER!… THE ADDITIVES ARE WHAT KILL YOU!

PERSONALLY, I’VE SMOKED CIGARETTES, & HATED IT!… A MAJORITY OF MY FAMILY ARE ALL SMOKERS, BUT I PREFER ALL NATURAL PIPE TOBACCO, TO ANYTHING ELSE!… IT’S BASICALLY SMOKING THE SAME STUFF THAT’S IN A HOOKAH!… WHICH, HAS BEEN SMOKED IN ARABIA, EGYPT, ETC.! ALSO, FOR AGES!… AS A COMMUNAL ACTIVITY! (A LOT LIKE POT, WHICH I’VE NEVER REALLY TRIED MYSELF!)

I OWNED 2 HOOKAH’S OF MY OWN, WHICH BOTH BROKE! HOWEVER, WHILE I DON’T PLAN ON BUYING A NEW ONE ANY TIME SOON, I WILL ADVOCATE FOR THE HOOKAH, ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!… ALSO, FOR NATURAL, ORGANIC TOBACCO!… HOOKAH’S A COMMUNAL ACTIVITY SO YOU DON’T GET QUITE AS BIG A HIT AS YOU MIGHT THINK, IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE LENGTH OF DRAG YOU TAKE IN, ALSO!…

I’VE ALSO BEEN TO HOOKAH BARS IN THE CITY, & THEY ARE INDEED FUN & EXOTIC!… *NOT* WHAT YOU’D EXPECT, REALLY!… MAYBE I’LL TRY IT AGAIN, ANOTHER DAY!…

hookahs are great. enough said.

and it’s overwhelming seeing all of these negative comments! hookah is hookah, it is neither stupid nor cool. we all have preferences, and it’s quite obvious many of you only know how to show them rudely.
