Where do they all get this info from? Every hookah tobacco I have ever tried has always said .5% . WHATS THE DEAL WITH ALL THESE RESEARCH ARTICLES THAT DON'T SEEM TO MAKE SENSE !!!

Canon Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 i smoke hookah all the time, i tried one puff of a cigarette recently and it was addicting, much more then hookah smoke.. so trying to say that hookahs have 2-4% nicotine is BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I mean if you are smoking 2 hour sessions at a time once a day, I mean I would think that is pretty bad, but I mean Give us some testing information. What tobacco was used, how it was set up, how it was tested, yada yada yada, and then maybe I will believe them. But when they just throw out ubserd numbers it aggravates me, and I feel like they just want the world to be tobacco free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny that it makes no mention of how the shisha was prepared, how much was used, coals, bowl setup, etc. I could setup a bowl and burn the whole damn thing to ashes and get skewed results as compared to a properly setup bowl where the shisha is slowly "cooked," NOT burned.

OBY Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I posted a super long comment on that site. I think it is awaiting approval. Anyways I have done lots of personal research and including all my facts in my comment. I hope they don't just pass it off... I hope they post it. They are complete idiots and most of that stuff was certainly made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoPeace Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 "First of all, the tobacco used in hookah consists of 2-4% nicotine, compared to 1-3% in cigarettes. After a single 45 minute smoking session, nicotine levels in the blood rose 60 fold (1.11-60.31 ng/mL) and cotinine rose well over 50 fold (0.79-51.95 mg/mL)."This statement right here is proof that they are lieing and either altered their studies or simply blatantly lied in their research. There is NO WAY they can get 2.4% nicotine especially when the box says .05-.5%. legally the boxes cant change the percentage to target consumers. Either these people added extra heat to create more nicotine or they simply are the lieing bastards they are. This is just another gay bashing thing towards hookah. they are retarded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinthecity Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 What if they measured the nicotine in the smoke? I'm just making this up as I go, butwhat if hookah smoke has more nicotine % that cig smoke because it filters out most of the tar? Cigarette smoke has a bunch of tar and other chemicals added, is it possible that hookah smoke may have a higher nicotine %? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
