Enough Is Enough...


Recommended Posts

Since people can't seem to handle the use of NHT and NH in the proper context, i.e. "The cop thought it was NHT in my hookah so I had to show him what it really was." And are starting to use the terms in regular discussion "i'm looking for a glass hookah similar to those used for NHT." 2 day full suspensions are now on tap for people who misuse the terms.

This has been posted about, discussed, complained about, ad nausium. WHat part of:

Is unclear?

And the first person dumb enough to post "i didn't see that in the rules." gets a week off.

As I said, and just to reiterate it, If your not sure PM one of the Moderators.
If we green-light it and it's not right then we will face the consequences!

"I was smoking my hookah in a park the other day and a cop came up and asked me if I was clubbing baby seals and I was like NO WAY I'm smoking shisha"

My point of view... We all know there are still misconceptions about hookahs..There always will be someone that thinks it's for another purpose (In fact, the IT department at the University I work at banned this site)... Talking about it on here serves no purpose so why even bring it up. Why waste your time and energy discussing something that has already been discussed over and over again... A better way to fight this battle is to educate people on the legitimate use of hookah smoking. EVERYONE on this forum knows the misconceptions, we've all been "misunderstood" while smoking hookah. I can understand wanting to vent when this happens, but the safest bet is to PM a buddy on here to bitch about it. We all know if you mention NHT you risk a vacation, so why do it?
Mush... I understand if you give me a vacation for mentioning it out of context but I agree enough is enough....
Of course, this is just my 2 cents and I don't expect anyone to agree with me...

i bet its mostly the stupid shit that people add in that just isnt needed...

i had seen it once or twice and was thinking "that sentence could have been left out entirely"

Its not so we can use it loosely, its so that when a discussion about misconception comes up if we need to use the terms we can. It's just much easier to not say anything at all

Well, there is a perfectly reasonable topic going now concerning NHT. This is what it was meant to be used for.


Im sorry if this gets me a boot, but I think NHT is confusing, because Non-Hookah Tobacco sounds like its just tobacco not meant for a hookah, like pipe tobacco. I think it should be Non-Hookah Substance(NHS), because when you see the word substance you know almost right away what it pertains to. I know when I first read what NHT meant I thought of some other tobacco, not something else to illegal to smoke.

Well..since it's explained in the rules sticky AND the illegal substance sticky, perhaps reading those as you should have when you started posting would have cleared up your confusion.

Well seeing as how Im not really concerned about the illegal substance, I would have never read it. I know people make asumtions, well thats there own ignorance. Also I dont shove it in there face or tell them off. I just noticed people on here use the term "NHT" and I didnt know what it meant. I even Googled it. Then I read on here and still thought it was just different tobacco, not till this topic did I find out it wasnt. Im not a noob to hookah, just a noob to this forum.

BTW Im not being cute!

So..you're saying you didn't read this in the Forum Rules stickie when you read the rules before you started posting?
