jerjer72 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hello everyone you may or may not remember me. Lately I have been thinking of smoking hookah again. I have not for months now every scince I left the forum. I have lots of shisha sitting around unopened. The only thing stopping me is being concerned about stupid health issues. I find various information about smoking hookah that is all different so I don't know what's really true. I basically just want it cleared up on how safe it is or not and what's the worst that could happen for how much or often I could smoke. I really am craving hookah. I miss it so much. Please clear this up for me. I keep reading it's dangerous and then read it's not dangerous. I know all smoking can be but I mean I never cared at all before. I'm aware of the dangers of smoking but I want to smoke hookah >_> I am craving grape so badly =( I want to smoke a bowl right now. If I do smoke a bowl and get back into it and enjoy it again I will be back on these boards. I am just concerned about health risks that's all. All things have health risks. I mean I care about my gf that's the main reason butshe lives in second hand smoke so I don't know if me smoking hookah will be worse or not. Hookah hookah hookah why must you tempt me you crazy contraption =( you are so delicious =P -jerjer72- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekon Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I think Al Fakher is like less than 1% nicotine and tar, but smoking regardless is bad for you :\. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are right. Smoking is smoking and it's not the healthiest hobby in the world. But its a personal decision, not one we can make for you. There are conflicting reports and, like other habits, no one is ever going to agree on HOW bad for you it is. But to think it's not is fooling yourself. You are just going to have to decide if the risks are worth the pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPR234 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Honestly, as bad as it may be for your health, it probably won't ruin your life if you learn to smoke in moderation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racemyghost Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 You dont have to smoke everyday.If you are taking your health into consideration, smoke once a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofdavid Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Smoking is bad for you. There is no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Smoke in moderation and know your limits. I smoke more than I should but not out of chemical addiction but because I like the flavor. Remember, the survival rate for every man is the same; zero.I don't recommend abusing your body, either. Someone has to spoil your grand children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Smoking isn't good for you, but think of how many people die in car crashes... your still driving right? Heart desease is a huge deal, but not many people have given up fast food... i just think since you never know when, might as well enjoy the time you have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerjer72 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 You all have good points. I think I will smoke again then cuz I just found my stash ^^ I had it in a closet so it would stay fine. Thanks for the posts. I do drink somtimes so hookahing sometimes will be like the same thing. Besides I smoked for like 7 years straight before. It's getting cold here though and I wanted to smoke outside. I missed hookah season =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbrownindian Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 who knows maybe you can smoke everyday and just get hit by a bus or something and not even die from something smoke related! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerjer72 Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yeah you know what seriously you guys are right. What the heck was I worried about. I smoked before because I enjoyed it. It really is a nice hobby. No one knows when they go so why not enjoy ourselves before we do. I have had friends go alreadyand no one expected that at all. We just don't know when or how or anything so why not indulge in some hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
