MikeMike Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Sometimes i think that no matter how much effort we put into teaching people that hookah smoking is in fact legal and in no way related to NHT, we are still on a downwards slope with more and more people seeing it used incorrectly. For example last night on a very popular TV showin the UK called Skins, there were 2 guys smoking hookah using NHT which was made very clearly to the viewer. Stuff like this really winds me up....

Elky Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 While I agree with you that it is unfortunate that the majority of hookah thats shown on TV and the like is associated with NHT, you have to accept that, although its not the only use, it is a common use of a hookah. It's like someone who rolls their own cigarettes complaining because rolling papers have a stigma too. A breif look into hookah's history will show you that for a long time it was very accepable to use these substances with a hookah. You have to take the good with the bad and distinguish yourself from those who choose to misuse it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromecarz00 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Unfortunately, Elky is right. Just do what you do and let people think what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia.plateau Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 They did this on Weeds as well, it was either near the end of the second season or the beginning of the third season. Andy and Doug find an old, duct-tape ridden hookah in a grow-op house and fire it up.I really didn't care at the time and don't care now, hookahs were originally designed to be used with NHT, we use them for 'baccy now and it's simply our cross to bear that sometimes ignorant people continue to associate them with NHT.
