How Long Have You Gone Without Smoking Hookah?

[Speak_In_Vowels]

what's the longest you have gone without smoking hookah before you start feeling like you're naked?

i havent smoked in like 5 days and since im addicted to this site, im being teased constatly =)
i havent smoked because  i have no charcoals or money til thursday,
and the only charcoals i can pick up locally are sultan quicklights which i personally despise.

help me...im dying

[Dereksd]

id go nuts after 5 days.i went nuts after a day when i had no coals.i smoke a few bowls a day so i smoke a lot

[Speak_In_Vowels]

i know =-[ i smoke like 2-3 times a day too, so you can imagine my pain.
you'd think it would get easier each day that goes by, but no! it gets worse.

I've gone about a month or more without hookah since I started 2 years ago, after the first week it's really not that bad.

But i was in Japan half the time so that helped

I feel like a loser now. I only smoke usually on the weekends. But I would say on average 4 to 5 times a month.

[Jeff_T]

Probably like 3-4 weeks, like twice. Worst time of my life

i went 2 months when i was in the bahamas and barbados and thats when i realised i can live without hookah...

About two years ago, my dad asked me to prove that hookah wasn't addictive (addicting?) by not smoking for one whole month. I did it no problem. Sure, I missed it, but I never felt like I absolutely needed it.

Of course, I'm a bit more into hookah now, so I don't know if I could do it again, but it was cool to show my dad that hookah isn't quite as "harmful" as he thinks.

[liquidglass]

yeah it's not addictive, sure you miss the taste of the smoke and hanging out with friends which is always the big Plus but you never HAVE to have it, you just want it.

the longest was probably 3 months. maybe more? i dont really remember, ive gone on 1monthers quite often just to relax the lungs

[indian_villager]

I smoke on occasion with friends. The longest I have went was like a month. It was no bigge.

[likespaceships]

I've gone about 3-4 weeks.
I'm currently cutting back from smoking everyday to once or twice a week.

Fun thread. For a slightly different spin on it, do you like the amount you smoke now or would you like to smoke less? I am new to hookah and kind of hoping to equilibrate at only smoking twice a month or so, or once a week at most. I do have an addictive personality, and I'd prefer not to become addicted to hookah since it's pricey and kinda bad for me. In my first 10 days after I fired up my hookah for the first time, I smoked about 6 times. I am hoping the novelty will wear off ... but maybe that won't happen on its own. Anyhow I broke my base, so now I can't smoke for a week or so until I get a new one. Alas.

a few months. but that's before i found the forum...no i smoke almost everyday, but i can go a long time without it still. Nothing like lighting up a bowl after a long day's work!

In college my monies went dry and my flavor stash was non existant, I survived a couple of weeks with no real craving.

[vaypourus]

I only smoke a couple days a week....my job often goes late, so it might be 1-2 am before I even get home. By that time I'm ready for bed.

Since I purchased my tri-metal a couple weeks ago, I haven't gone longer than 2-3 days off.

Dont' feel bad, man. That's about as much as I smoke.... although.... I did just buy my first hookah. (was using my buddies for a long time)

I'd have to agree with Stuie. I've been smoking for seven years and I didn't smoke nearly as much as I do now. Before was maybe one or two sessions a week. Now it's probably four to fives times a week.

THere's been a few occassions where I've gone over a month without smoking hookah.

A month when I got my wisdom teether taken out. I know I could have smoked a week after the surgery but .. I just didnt want to..

[JillyIsJustKidding]

I think the longest was 2 weeks and thats only because I sold my first hookah so I could buy a Egyptian ^-^

Damn not smoking for that long sucked though! It was horrible lol

[lancer]

2 weeks. I've just been busy lately again and I havent smoked in about a week now

[mattarios2]

I went for about 10 days w/o a bowl, no problem at all. I have no addiction to the hookah what-so-ever. Like others have said, you miss it and what not, but you don't need it like a ciggarette addiction.

[jezter6]

I go in cycles. Sometimes I'll smoke 6-8 times a week, sometimes I'll get a bit tired of it (and busy with evening activities) and not smoke for a month or two.

Now that I'm back into it pretty hard - probably won't go more than a week and that's because I am traveling for work.
