How Much Money Have You Spent On Hookah?


Recommended Posts

I plan to start writting down whatever I spend on hookah and how much I spend. Just so I know what I have bought and how much I really do spend on hookah. So I'm gonna start with my last two purchases which were 3 boxes of coco-naras, a medium phunnel, and a pink vase protector.

I was psyched.



lol. I did too and the first song in my head was....I'm a Lumber Jack and it's OK


I just looked at my Bank statement and this is my total from 2/26/2008 to today

$1517.74

add another 50 for my custom Jet Glass also.

Somebody stop me...

I do not know how much out of pocket I spent, probably not much because I do not like to carry much cash.

WEll I spent heaps less than the average cigarette smoker. Lets say someone smokes a pack a day, or heck, Ill be generous and say 4 packs a week, thats $20 a week, $80 a month, or $960 a year, just say a grand a year. A year ago I bought my hookah for $100, and over that past year I've spent about $40 on coals, possibly $100 on shisha, maybe a bit more, even if I spent $200 on shisha that's a grand total of about $350 which is about one third the price of the probably less than average cig smoker.

So basically, I'm happy Im smoking hookah. It's not addicting, nice and flavorful, and you get a long time to enjoy your smoke.

PS: Not trying to thread jack or anything I just thought it'd be useful to compare prices to cig smokers.

It'd be double that for cigs in Canada ohmy.gif

I've spent nearly a grand on hookah since September.

Not that much, first pipe was a gift, second cost me about 50 in dollars. Maybe 20 in tobacco a month and 5 in coals. There have been months i spent nothing. So about 500 from beginning to end. Plus money in cafes but most of what i pay there is for drinks, the one i go to hookah's 5 bucks. Add about 70 just for the hookah sessions minus drinks. 570 for about 3 years isn't all that bad.

I just went through my CC statement and I came up with over $700 since June. This doesn't include everything I have spent in cash. I have probably spent a lot at lounges too.

$130 since May of '07.

I pride myself on having kept everything simple and easy. I'll probably be spending another $100-150 soon to get coals, another hookah and some more shisha. But I would never spend upward of 1000 on hookah in a year. I cant justify that.

Been smoking for a year at friends palces, just recently started with my own stuff (hookah , coals , flavour etc.)

so my breakdown so far for the last maybe 6 weeks:

Egyption hookah small - R150 ~ $20
Afzal 50g - R15 ~ $2
10* Al-waha 50g flavors - R15 each * 10 = R150 ~ $20
( cheap) washable hose - R30 ~ $4
Medium size clay pot - R30 ~ $4
5* Soex Coals - R12 each * 5 = R60 ~ $7.65

Overall - R435 ~ roughly $58

All the " ~ " is just showing the conversion from South African Rand to US Dollar

And looking at ordering some more flavours soon
