spuman Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 i am thinking of puting a hookah in my car.i have a dodge neon between the two front seats a have a large drink holder.think it will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 In theory it could however, there are many, many variables that can affect it. For example, stop and go traffic, sudden stop, sudden acceleration. These things can knock the coals off an burn your carpet till it hits the metal. Wind covers could work or the bowls with the built in covers. I really don't think it is worth it tho, so many things that can go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zildjian Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 i would be so freaking scared to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alademuerte Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I've done it.Several times..It's definitely risky, but I use the modern combo bowl and just be easy when driving... My friend will hold the hookah between his legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMGWTFBBQ Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I was thinking of doing this too, I suggest using the wind blocker, that way if the coals fall or the ashes fly then they'll stay in the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitalets Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I know people who have done it -- and of course there's that long thread someone just linked to -- but it still strikes me as such a bad idea. Especially if you drive faster than most (as I do -- it's in the blood of Illinoisans).Would also be irritating to explain to a cop if you got pulled over for anything else. Minus hookah, you might get away with the 10 over you were doing or the bad taillight. With a hookah in the car, not likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've allways considered the idea of driving and smoking hookah as stupid at worst, and pointless at best. [Apart from the one guy who smoked his hookah whilst stuck in a Que behind a big assed accident - (Stuck as in not moving what so ever) ]It would also be verging on illegal [1] As smoking a hookah is hardling paying due care and attention to the road.JD[1] - Certainly in the uk at least. If you have an accident whilst smoking a cigarette you can also be charged with not paying due care and attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see people everywhere smoke as they drive even in DC who are pretty strict and have banned the use of cell phone while driving, etc. Why is so stupid if it's the passengers that are going to be smoking? It's awesome for long trips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's awesome for long trips.Serious in regard to the UK law - yes.The fact you even need to ask this question suggest you have not thought about it. It's awesome to take a break and smoke a hookah for sure. But to smoke it whilst driving? It's bad enough to have a collision whilst smoking a cigarette - but to have a coal that can (potentially) last a good hour rolling around the car is not such a great idea.Also - What's the point? The ethos behind hookah is a thing of relaxtion and to spend time enjoying it and the social element of it. I might as well start taking hookah breaks at work. Defeats the object.Also remember these are just my own thoughts on said subject - feel free todo as you please JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shisha fan Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 it kind of goes against what hookah smoking is all about. just smoke a cigarette if you`re driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayVer Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Well here in America I know they have laws against driving and smoking. Now if they are enforced or not I guess is up to the local police officers. This might be a Florida only thing but I remember a few years ago someone got a ticket in my city for driving while smoking a cigar. The guy didn't crash or do anything wrong, he was simply enjoying his cigar while going to his friends house. Next thing he knows he gets stopped by a cop and gets a big chunk of his money gone with a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBY Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 It's pretty fun... Both times I have done it we never had any problems... The buzz was more intense and don't know why. But as long as you make it so the coal wont fall off then I think you should be fine. We on the other hand had a suburban and a hookah table.

ZenSilk Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 No one said anythign about what shisha + coals + hookah + water makes.SMOKE! Blowing your smoke into your own face while driving doesnt sound too good to me. I don't wanna die cause you can't see infront of you. And if you open your window, where the damn fun in that? I FOR SURE do not smoke hookah just for a Buzz. Yuck. That's the only reason i could think you would smoke a hookah in the car. So why don't you smoke like 10 cigarettes? You get the buzz you want. (All my own opinion. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofrendo Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 LoL Paying due attention? That's a Laugh out Loud if I ever heard one... I have always heard that everyone in the UK are better drivers though... I suppose if you have to drive a standard shift all the time you are much more prone to pay attention... Yeah no one here ever pays attention while driving... I have smoked hookah while driving, changed my entire outfit including pants, brushed my teeth, read a map, made thousands of phone calls, played video games... and that's just the stuff I have done in my stick shift...
