Hookah W/ Asthma

[winstonk]

I have a friend who has asthma and I was if any of you guys have had experiences with smoking with asthma. Does it give you a hard time? Any ways to avoid attacks? Any other thoughts?

its not a problem with me. i have really bad asthma but mine is under control with meds i go one day with out takin them and forgetabout it. anyway i would say ice put ice in the base make is way smoother and should if start to get harsh just do what you got to do to smooth it out then pick it up again.

my buddy has asthma and he smokes all the time with us and he has no problems.. He probably smokes atleast three times a week and he has no trouble... but i'm sure it depends on the severity of the asthma

We packed ice to make it smoother but my bowls where a little harsh. The kid didn't have meds so maybe it would next times.

My friend has no problems. Doesn't need an inhaler, only for extreme attacks. Never has had trouble with the nargile.

try packing a bowl of mint shisha for him, mint really clears your airways and that might help with his asthma.

I have asthma and find smoking hookah doesn't really bother me. If the smoke gets harsh my chest gets a little tight. I also seem to get more light headed than most people but it has never caused me to have an attack. I find other smoking besides from a hookah causes me a lot more problems and have had attacks because of it.

I hope your kidding as smoking ANYTHING will only make it worse. Just like how people say hookahs better than cigs, and its not as bad, my thought is smoking is smoking. Its not going to improve your health in any way, shape, or form. So with those thoughts in mind he can either smoke or not smoke. But I also believe 90% of things in life are ok in moderation. If he does it once every week or 2 he should be just fine.

what i meant was, i think it might be easier to smoke mint than other flavors for someone with asthma. but i`m not sure offcourse, since i don`t have asthma or problems with my airways.
