Hookah Newbies

[Brad]

I'm sure everyone has noticed the increase in popularity with hookahs. I've only known about a hookah for 6 months and I've noticed it in that small period of time. I think it's great! Although, it's irritating that many of the people I've met have no idea what they are talking about, but because hookahs are so cool and partially not well known, they act like they do.
I've been to a few parties lately where it seemed like the center of attention was always on the hookah, and it was like the discussion about it was always filled with false information. Smoking unmentionables ALWAYS came up, and generally they just set things up wrong. I got to try it, and I don't know what flavor they were smoking but it was like smoking the fumes off a Golden Coal when it's lighting (okay, it wasn't that bad). It was completely burnt though. I'm not trying to flame the newcomers, because I myself am a newcomer. I just hope certain individuals ruin what a hookah really is.
Has anyone else had experiences like this?

I know what you mean. My wife introduced our baby sitter to the hookah
last night. She liked it. In fact we are going to take her and her
husband to our favorite Leboneese restaurant this weekend.  I hope
I am able to geth them started on it.

I LOVE spreading lung cancer.

I love introducing new people to the hookah.  I usually sit on the
front porch of my fraternity and smoke just about every night - I
always get one or two people coming up and asking about it (or the cops
when people think I'm puffing on a bong).  We just started a
hookah club at our school, which has been a great way to meet other
enthusiasts.


BTW, Im glad to be back - I've been crazy busy with school and stuff
and haven't posted in a  while.  I feel like I missed a lot
of drama.

Yea, I always love it when people have NO idea what it is. Some people are reluctant to try it ...but once they do they always like it. I even got my parents to try it and occassionally they sit down and take a few puffs when I'm with my friends. Speaking of friends, about 5 of mine now have hookahs after trying mine. It spreads fast!
