Has This Happened To You?

[UnderneathTheGun]

This has never happened to me before.Now I feel sick now, can't smoke no more. Was it the hookah that made me barf up? Edited July 1, 2007 by UnderneathTheGun

The only time I feel sick during/after smoking is when I'm smoking a cigar too fast and it gets nasty. Never heard of a hookah doing that to a fellow.

[anathema]

no

haven't heard of it either

What brand were you smoking?

[UnderneathTheGun]

I'm new to smoking. Do you mean the tobacco? It was Pharoahs and the coals are three kings.

It's rather easy to get a light form of nicotine poisoning from smoking even shisha if your body isn't used to the chemical. that is just your bodies little way of trying dispell it. sadly, it doesn't know it got into your blood stream from your lungs :] you will be fine, it happens to a lot of new smokers.

[wufabufa]

isn't a pharaohs pretty well known for giving a pretty generous buzz? you might want to try a washed brand of tobacco when you do solo sessions.

[[Elmo]]

Yeah, a few days ago I had a solo session with an unwashed brand. I guess you could say I'm fairly new to smoking (3 months) And it left me feeling pretty nauseous... I just drank a bunch of water and ate some comfort foods for me, pretzel nubs, sunchips, some fruit, and I was feeling a lot better.
It definitely sucks getting sick rom Hookah... try not to smoke on an empty stomach... and I usually have somethin to drink while I'm smokin too... seems to help.

well there are a couple of things.... It happens to me on occasion when I dont pace myself.

Things I do to try and keep the sickness level to a minimum:

I try to eat something first before
always have a drink
take my time- it's not going anywhere and it's not going to hit any less hard if i take a breather for a minute
try not to blow to many o's in long periods of time, or hold it in to long
share the hookah love, pass around hose


MY major problem is, and it's only when I smoke hookah, is i'll go to yawn , but i can't. and when I try, I gag. But it only happens when I smoke. It's weird. like I get something stuck in my throat and I can't swallow it type feeling. Not a sick feeling though.

hope this helps you

OMG dont know what brand but my second ever smoke was Double Apple and it FUCKED me UP!!!! didnt throw up but was curled up on cousins couch, and felt like the world was spinning and puching me in the stomach at the same time. Hmm later on though was partying and didnt notice a damn thing

[Sonthert]

Pharoah's should have nicotine in it. You learned quickly, my friend, why we pace ourselves. Get a friend or two to smoke with...put the hose down...occasionally. Don't listen to the washed tobacco naysayers...no washed brand can compete in flavor with an unwashed brand, in my opinion. You'll build a tolerance, you'll learn to pace yourself.

Its just puking. Its no big deal. Worrying about puking is what makes puking so disgusting. If it happens, just relax and let your body do what it's supposed to do. Some cultures used to ritually make themselves puke to empty the body of toxins. Its probably useless in that capacity any more than leaches drain out evil spirits, but I'm sure a bunch of Indians would sit around telling stories about all the great pukes they had.

Or frat guys. Not speaking from experience, or anything, of course.

[Sonthert]

I was in a fraternity in college...still am...its a lifetime comittment.

Saying "Frat Guys" is like any other stereotype...

I'm not sensitive about it, by any means. Edited July 1, 2007 by Sonthert

I said that tongue-in-cheek. I'm in a fraternity. Vomit stories just seemed right up my alley. Not hookah related ones, however.

[glz88]

Yea i have had friends throw up and feel light headed an puke if they haven't eaten anything or smoked an excessive amount. Wash it down with some water quit smoking and get some oxygen. After that you should feel a lot better.

[MechAnt]

That happened to my friend. You're not used to the strong nicotine yet. Like everyone else suggested, don't smoke on an empty stomach and eat or drink during a session.
