Just don't wanna smoke some weird stuff that'll eff up my lungs

its a study on hookah smoke that shows that it is in fact safer the cigs in moderation Edited August 17, 2008 by kvtaco17

Dont even bother with the soex stuff.

Hookah tobacco is coated primarily with molasses or honey, which is basically just a sugar compound. When you smoke it, the sugar sticks to your lungs which restricts its movement for a little bit, just like smoking cigarettes. However you do have enzymes to break down sugar, so your body naturally cleans the sugary gunk out of your lungs and has it flushed out in the bloodstream. This dosent happen with tar because we dont have anything that can break down tar in our bodies.

The problems with hookah come with smoking too much, because the smoke will irratate your throat lungs regardless of the sugar, and that will cause problems down the line.

Everything in moderation and stay away from cigarettes!!!

soex = ewwwww


i tried soex thinking it was "safer" but that baccy is dangerous it almost gave me a splinter.......

it lacks flavor it all around isn't worth your money

If you really want to try it I would search for Black Label from Hookah Hookah. I was on another forum and everyone had nothing but good things to say about most of their flavors. Even if a few were short lived. Starbuzz is pretty short lived and it's made of tobacco. So, that would be my suggestion.

I smoked some Soex the other day... well a few puffs and its not even worth it. Felt like woodchips, and didnt taste much better.

think about it why would soex be safer who knows the effects of smoking that cane sugar substance and it isn't even enjoyable because it sucks

[NUBBS]

I know soex SUCKS, but what about some other brands. Just because one brand suck doesnt mean they're all bad. I have some Black Label strawberry, but havent tried it yet. When I do Ill let you guys know.

Black is actually a great smoke. Their watermelon and Lemon were freaking amazing [I tried them as mixers, not straight up].

You should definitely check them out.

sugary gunk coating your lungs? what is this sugar nonsense, smoking tobacco is smoking tobacco, don't kid yourself, the only difference with hookah is that the temperature of the tobacco never goes above the level that turns cigarette tobacco into cancer death tar.

Soex - Total Crap
Black Label - Pretty decent, for herbal
High Life - Total Crap
Saalaam - Don't know just got a sample in, let you know in a few days

Personal Opinion: Skip it!

Just wanted to say that the link posted above...

was a very good read. It actually seems to spread some light on hookah vs cigs and the effects on health. Imagine that, actual research!
