Giant Ninja Robot Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 These articles and news pieces are getting silly.I heard one fact - 20% of students at Virginia Commonwealth University regularly use hookahs.WOW! AMAZING! I guess I'm glad that this was brought to light? Congratulations VCU?This was not worth the video load time. I want my 1.5 minutes back QM...

kudomonster Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I used to be a serious smoker, a pack a day at least. I couldn't run for shit, i would wheeze like crazy ect ect.Now I smoke hookah 3 times a week, or according to this stupid ass news clip, 15 packs a week. I run every day a few miles, I train MMA, and weight lift. NO wheezing.This is just dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kudomonster Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 In fact, how is this even considered "Very Legit"? they provide no sources or info, they basically run up to you, scream at you that you're doing something that will kill you, then without further explanation run away.

SirHookah Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 The fact that you inhale the smoke of "5 packs of cigarettes" isn't really a stunning fact. It's more important to know what's actually in the smoke.And why the hell is she screaming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjelder Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 What do you expect them to do? Support it?People are trying to 'nip it in the bud' before it gets too popular.

NO wheezing.This is just dumb.EXACTLY, I have friends that can't run for shit because they smoke ciggs and cigars, I've never touched a cig and don't plan on it.But I can smoke hookah every day for a few weeks, then decide it's time to go running again and run 2 miles and walk a mile without dying or even feel like it. Plus it helps clean out what actually gets in my lungs (which probably isn't much compared to ciggs)QUOTE (bjelder @ Aug 9 2008, 06:25 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>What do you expect them to do?

indian_villager Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I still don't get what these researches are doing. I dont see how any of those statistics make sense. Just the sheer tobacco mass of a bowl (shisha-mass of glycerine-mass of flavoring- mass of molasses and or honey) has to be less than the tobacco mass of 5 packs of cigarettes. And cigarettes are burned leaving nothing but ash. Where as in hookahs a really good portion of the tobacco is just left there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 They are talking about smoke volume, as in the AMOUNT of just pure smoke you're taking in. It may be true in the VOLUME, but it certainly isnt true in toxins and various tobacco related poisons. If it were, all of us would be dead from a combination of arsenic poisoning, nicotine poisoning, heavy metal overdose, and smoke inhalation.

As far as I can figure it is mostly glycerin vapor (correct me if I am wrong). But the fact remains that less tobacco is CONSUMED! And far as I know shisha makers have not been found to put in all those terrible additives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 It doesnt matter if it's smoke or "vapor" they count it as smoke. You're heating something till it gives off fumes, its smoke because its coming from an organic material that's being heated/burned. That being said, the volume of smoke ALONE (not toxins) is the equivalent to however many cigarettes per session depending on how long you smoke. This is indisputable. But the toxin levels of the smoke are far lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockaholic397 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Well I think that we are right in saying that what ever they have just "informed" us with is bull. But I did read somewhere that smoking Hookah is like smoking 5 packs a day (no sources so could still be bull). AND Even if you choose to believe it, then what is in the hookah smoke that is as bad or worse that cigarettes?smoking anything will be bad for you (duh) but cigarettes are MUCH worse. menthol's used to contain (if they still do) bits of glass when you inhale so the nicotine can enter your bloodstream just a little faster. Shisha has no nicotine but could (from what I hear) become addictive if used more than daily. glass cutting my throat is the same as smoking something that does not do that at all? NO.ZERO FACTS IN MY ARGUMENT OR THEIR ARGUMENTNOW WE'RE EVEN(CAPS NECESSARY)But I would like to see some hard facts on Shisha, I found a website a year ago that showed how smoking hookah is like smoking five packs a day. But I lost the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
