shoresidejake Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 i'm a big fan of "modern marvels" on the history channel... basically it's a show that talks about different subjects, the history, about, how they're made, etc. and i think "hookah" would make an excellent topic on this program, or something similar.like talking about the history in the middle east/asia, how they were made, the tobacco is harvested and mixed, and even show some modern shops/bars here in the states (the largest of the hookah markets). maybe touch on the health contraversy and the growing popularity of herbal shisha.i would even buy something like this on dvd/blu-ray is the history channel did it... does anyone know if anything similar currently exists? like a "hookah-documentary"?

iamscott06 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Wow that would be a sweet show to watch! Do they have a thing like Dirty Jobs where we can submit ideas for the show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishPhood Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I would buy/illegally download that for sure. Most likely the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechAnt Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 We should tell Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs to visit Eric's lounge in SD! I'm sure that's quite a messy job, packing bowls, cleaning pipes, and making Tangiers for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishPhood Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 That would be sweet mech, unfortunately I bet they would stray away as not to make smoking something "cool" for the younger audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to take a nice organized read into its history. I've already researched it quite a bit but no one source has a decent amount of info.. That I've found at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 well, if I do cover the history, I'm thinking I would go into reading on the Ottoman Empire...probably a good start. For now its gonna be with the current subculture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoresidejake Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) looks like the long-asked question "is hookah smoking worse than ciggerettes?" has been proposed on the MYTHBUSTERS forums...http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/...851947639/inc/1 i would love to see that episode... especially since mythbusters is another of my favorite shows...

Perrj99 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I enjoy how people compare (like on the MythBuster's forum) insane amounts if cigarette smoking to one session (1 hour) of hookah smoking. The one person claims that 1 hour of smoking the hookah can be equivalent to 100 cigarettes?!?! 5 packs of cigarettes in one day would be far worse than the amount of hookah tobacco I smoke in a matter of months, if not fucking more. 100 cigarettes in 1 day would probably kill me that day.

Bulldog_916 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 +1 to have that stuff tested on mythbusters or something. We gotta have someone with a lab available do some tests for us. I'm sure someone has one around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
