How Bad It Is When You Smoke Hookah This Much?

HOW BAD IT IS WHEN YOU SMOKE HOOKAH THIS MUCH?

SMOKE HOOKAH FOR HOURS AT MY HOUSE, TAKE BREAKS TO SMOKE MENTHOLS, (MAYBE A NON HOOKAH SUBSTANCE), CIGARS, THEN GO TO THE HOOKAH BAR UNTIL THEY CLOSE ON A DAILY BASIS.?

Well, I wouldn't expect to live much older than 40. At least not happily

I'd mix a bit of swimming in if you can, to keep your lung capacity up, and keep 'em from crusting up too bad. Other than that, good luck. I probably won't live longer, seeing as I smoke hookah a couple days a week, and cigars/pipes almost every day. Hehehehe

[HookahGuru]

Yeah, I try to do some of running/weights

every so often ill go a day or so with out smoking and just exercise and drink water.

Yeah, I do the same hahaha. But I doubt it helps anything more than to make me feel a little healthier for the moment. Still worth a shot tho I guess.

I have been smoking hookah a lot more recently and have been noticing a decrease in my stamina when I run. I'd say I'm pretty athletic... being the captain on two sports teams, working out 3-4x a week and run almost every day. I don't know whether it's the changing weather or the hookah, but I have noticed some negative side effects from just smoking hookah 3x a week as compared to once or twice every one or two weeks.

So to answer your question... it's probably not the best route to smoke that much on a regular basis, honestly. You and I both know what smoking does to not only our lungs but to our other vital organs (heart, arteries, etc). So just be wary of what and how much you smoke.

Any smoke going into your lungs is not good for you.

But I'm probably in the same boat, although I recently kicked cloves cigs. I've been smoking more hookah to make up the nicotine lost- so I've been smoking at least 4-5 bowls a day. I still feel great now that I've quit cigs, my lungs feel better, I get less frequent headaches when smoking for long periods, and my teeth are whiter too.

Where do you work? It must be damn good money to afford all that tobacco. Edited May 26, 2008 by Exile

Exercise and you'll live to be 45!

That's about all I want out of life. Of course I'm probably going to be killed randomly by someone sick of my smartass/badass attitude.

Don't worry about it. You'll just be coughing up a little blood once in a while.

first of all, dont goto the hookah bar, youll save money

second of all, when you say hours...how many exactly? my bowls last over an hour, so thats like 3-4 bowls? then a few cigs, then a cigar?

first of all your not inhaling a cigar
second of all, you SHOULDNT be inhaling the hookah


i know people that do 10 bowls a day, they look fine, but prob are in terrible shape, i do one bowl a day, switching between puffing and inhaling (i normally puff, but this nahkla is gooooooood)

so depending on all these factors, lets see how you do

and theres no conclusive evidence that hookah smoking is harmful to your health, though it prolly is

I think I found some conclusive evidence.

This is just personal opinion, I have inhaled cigars for nicotine this was also when I was a dumb freshman in high school and have regretted it.

Also shouldnt this be in the hookah section?

So I should not inhale a Wine flavored black and mild?

and as far as hours go I'm talking all day, soon as a bowl gets harsh we just pack another, I have a ton of tobacco

and I inhale hookah to the max, to get huge clouds, I thought that was the point ( besides flavor) .

Waste not.

Hookah is more like a social lubricant, if you will. Edited May 28, 2008 by Exile

is that cancer and emphysema actually from a hookah?! i sure hope not, probably from cigarettes.

[Khronokai]

I inhale with the hookah... I have cigars and I definitely don't inhale on those, unless i wanna get floored (not likely).

As for the Hookah VS cigarettes... Yah the tobacco isn't burned ( but roasted) in the Hookah, but think about it. How long does it take to smoke a cigarette? Now think of the hour or two you spend on the Hookah. Yeah... It adds up.

Well I hate to say it, but habitual hookah is no better than smoking cigarettes. This has actually been a constant topic in our lounge, debated by nearly every visitor that comes to the lounge (Our house is pretty much a non-stop hookah party ).

I quit smoking cloves recently, and God bless Tangiers for picking up the slack and helping me quit the sticks!

If this is what you consider a cigar....there are no words.....black n mild = fat cigg.

Otherwise yeah I would cut back quite a bit if you can besides the money I assume you will be going through your looking at alot of throat related illnesses Edited May 29, 2008 by mjdx88

Hehehe, my reaction to that was the same. I do like cheap cigars, but I prefer them to actually be cigars.

Welcome to the forums

But yes, one can both inhale and puff hookah. I actually keep hoses of both large and small diameter: large for big inhales, and smaller b/c my oversized 1/2" hoses are a little too big to effectively puff.
