Am I the only one who can’t...

[ioannisds]

smoke cigs anymore?  I've been smoking a hookah for a few months
now, and I used to have a cigarette maybe a few times a week with
friends, and enjoyed it.  Now, cigarettes taste like complete ass
to me.  I just sat down to have one with my bro, and I literally
could not finish it because it tasted so goddamn bad.  Hookah
smoking is SOOOOOOOOO much more flavorful, relaxing, and ritualistic to
me.  Am I the only who feels this way?  Honestly, if I never
touch a cigarette again it would be ok.

I don't know about cigarettes, but my pipe and cigar smoking is WAY down.

[ioannisds]

Yeah, I also used to smoke pipes and cigars occasionally, but have cut
way down since becoming a hookah-freak.  Yet I still enjoy them
every so often.  It is just the cigarettes that have become a
MAJOR turn-off.

I use to be a pack or two a week smoker and now I amost puke if I have
one. I hate cigs now. I can even pick one up if I drink beer.

i used to smoke for about a year and quit only smoking hookah, ive had
about 3 sincei quit and almost puked. i cant stand the smell or taste.
Really a groteques thing to do.

i was going to ask this same question myself. i only first tried a hookah a week and a half ago but in that week and a half i went from smoking a pack and a half to 2 packs of ciggs a day down to 3 packs in 9 days. they just don't taste very good anymore.
it probably is a good thing i am not smoking ciggs as much because i need all the cash i can get to pay for all these shishas i have been ordering...

i used to smoke the pipe and a few cigars, but have very recently cut
down quite a bit, not that pipe tastes awful, hookah just tastes so
much better. Ive never smoked cigarettes either, the thought of taking
that kind of smoke into my lungs seems to be a rather large "newbie
buffer" to even attempt to smoke them.

[ioannisds]

Yeah, it's really kind of odd to me the more I think about it.  I
can understand if I smoke a bowl of shisha and then follow it with a
cigarette.  The two tastes would just not mix at all.  But I
am talking days after I smoke my hookah, if I have a cig, BLAH. 
CRAP.  NASTY.  It's not like I have the taste of shisha in my
mouth 72 hours later.  I wonder how much of it is
psychological?  Probably not much actually.  Probably more
like Coors Light (aka dog piss) vs. Guinness or Fat Tire or some other
awesome beer.  Glad to hear I am not alone.

yeah...cigarettes are disgusting now. I never reallly was a cigarette
smoker, just occasionally would have one here or there and smoke it
cigar style, I just cant get myself to inhale a cigarette.  Even
cigars are gross now.  haha.

Also there are chemicals in cigaretes that are in fast food which kind of numb your taste buds.....with less of these chemicals in your system teh true taste of cigaretes comes back to you. Do you remember what your first cigarete tasted like?

I have the occasional smoke every now and again when I'm with my friends.  For Grad I bought a $17(CAD) cigar and much enjoyed it.  I used to smoke alot more than that but I have cut back to at most 3 cigaretts a week.

I used to be a habitual cigarette smoker but i can't stand them anymore since i got my hookah.
I now smoke the hookah probly twice a day and i never smoke cigarettes anymore.
