hshah Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 For some strange reason I seem to be getting really bad headache after smoking Al Fakher tobacco for just over an hour. I had such a bad ache at 5pm (GMT) that I went straight to bed and only just woke up (9pm). A similar thing happened last night too This doesn't really happen with other brands of tobacco, and nothing has changed in the way I smoke my hookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A similar thing happened last night too This doesn't really happen with other brands of tobacco, and nothing has changed in the way I smoke my hookah That usually happens to me with AF and Pharoah, even after just a few hits. I love the taste, but I usually avoid those brands because it's such a consistent problem for me. Edited January 2, 2008 by Ralleac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 yeah i have noticed that with AF, but i think also has alot to do with the amount you smoke, the type of coal you use. Your putting yourself in a hypoxic state!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! drink plenty of water, and take some normal breathes of air inbetween pulls..so you can maintain proper lung ventilation.I know what your talking about when u say insane headaches...tylenol doesnt even help.

hshah Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 I think it is more noticeable because I am smoking alone at the moment, but I have now opened the window to get some fresh air in (although its pretty cold outside) and am putting the pipe down every few minutes so I can take in the fresh air - no headache so far, but then again I have only been smoking for 5 minutes Will keep you guys updated!

Eifah Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 It may have something to do with the nicotine too, if you're not used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_D Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 hmm ebay...coals...nervous.You sure they are 100% Kosher for nargile? Not bloody BBQ coals or some derivative ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had bought them from a shop in Birmingham and they are for shisha - even have a picture of a hookah on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 PM's forwarded to mushrat? There are about 47,465,369 of them... A WEEK I would suggest switching to another coal, just temporarily, and seeing if that makes a difference. Just because it has a pic of a hookah on does not, always, ensure they are ok?Especially given your symptoms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hshah Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) I am pretty sure it isn't the coals because I have been using them for a few months now... the only thing that has majorly changed is the arrival of my Al Fakher tobacco from AlFakherOnline But I will take your suggestion and try some other coals Edited January 2, 2008 by hshah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hshah Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 Alright, its been over 90 minutes now and no headache. I think having water, and taking breaks in the puffing worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
