jmexx Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I can't stand the taste and harshness of cigarettes.On the other hand, a friend of mine who smokes cigarettes hates hookah because he doesn't feel the burn going down his throat.Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attila Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 i don't. i like tobacco, not just shisha - i like cigars, rolled cigarettes (inclusion of other stuff is irrelevant) and i smoke them sometimes - but i just can't stand the smell of ordinary cigarettes - very unnatural to me. (Just roll a cigarette from some good tobacco - uncomparable with any brand of filtered machinemade cigarette.) An interesting thing is, that since i smoke shisha regularly, cigarette smoke disgusts me even more - no offense to anyone, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sariél Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Nope. If I take one drag of a cigarette, I feel a searing, burning sensation from my throat to deep in my chest. My throat constricts and fills with mucus until I gag and choke. I get dizzy, and then cough until I puke, which is usually within two minutes.This reaction tends to cancel out any of the addictive properties.I have similar (although much less) reactions to Nakhla and Tangiers tobacco.

MR Bubble Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Most of you know I smoke cigarettes also. It's easy to tell: I'm always griping about some brands of massell not satisfying me. That's why I do Nakhla primarily. I want to quite smoking again. I had it licked for a month back in 2000. I had back surgery and the Percocetts made me have BAD cravings. There's just something about 2 Percocetts that make me feel like I slammed a 6-pack MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 As one of my creativity minions says: "Tangiers, its got balls."Percocets/percodan are the strongest narcotic on the market. Heroine is illegal and its only a little stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahc87 Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 cigarettes have never really appealed to me at all... i dont mind the smell and i dont find them harsh or anything like that ( i smoke a pipe and the occasional cigar), but, for some reason, cigarettes , as well as the smoker, just seem dirty and sleazy (no offense to those cigarette smokers out there, i know this isnt actually the case and i am being stubborn (i probably know about .00000000001% of the world's cigarette smokers and probably can't actually make a valid judgement anyway) , but i cant help but think that... (pavlakos_politakos, mr. bubble, i have a lot of respect for you guys and i know that this is certainly not the case with you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipeSmokeMcGee Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 I don't smoke cigarrettes b/c I don't enjoy them. I am a relatively new hookah lover, but I've liked cigars and especially pipes for a while now. I feel a lot like ahc87: unfortunately, there are some stereotypical images engrained in my mind about cigarettes. Here is the tobacco product and its association:Hookah - mystiquePipe - sophisticationCigar - manlinessDip/Chew - redneck trailertrashCigarette - unrefinedLike ahc 87, I don't hold it against anyone if they do smoke. Unfortunately, these are just stereotypes that our society purveys.BEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I will only smoke a cigarette if i am REALLY REALLY REALLY drunk. But i LOVE cigars, the Partagas Black is a work of art, but I only smoke one or two cigars a month. I also smoke pipes, about once a week, and I smoke my hookah once a week.

Guest Abide Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Normal stuff, ick. Makes me wanna vomit just from the smell sometimes. Yet i smoke about 2 hookah bowls a day and atleast a pipefull a day. I can however demolish a pack of Djarum Black Clove cigarettes in about a day GAH tehy taste so good and make your lips all tingly! I SWEAR they taste like banana nut bread of you suck on it before its lit!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pojzon Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I'm used to smoke cigarette but fourtanetly I stop it and than start to smoking hookah. It is much better than cigerette in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzing Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 frankly , i'm a bit surprised with these results so far. i would've thought a lot more people would smoke cigs to get their nicotine when not smoking hookah. then again, among the people i know there seems to be absolutely no correlation between cigs and hookah: 1 friend LOVES both, another smokes only cigs, and i smoke only hookah, so who knows...

Sonthert Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 There are, in my opinion, more than one component in cigarettes that creates addiction. Thats why nicotine patches only work %20 of the time. Some people, smoking the hookah releases their need for cigarettes (nicotine) while other people smoke a hookah and a cigarette simultaneously (some other chemical). Opium, for example, is very addictive, but it contains five addictive (or four...I forget) substances, including morphine and codeine. Each one individually isn't terribly addictive, the group of them together is far moreso...many people get addicted to one or the other...thats why the British used it to enslave the Chinese for their tea, back in the day.

Buford Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I don't smoke cigs although I have smoked an occasional one in thepast, it was never a regular thing. I do, however, occasionally smokea pipe, of which I have seven including briar, meerschaum, corncob,and clay. I'm a fan of McClelland's Virginia tobaccos like BlackwoodsFlake and some "English" latakia blends. Latakia blends are a verydifferent experence from smoking shisha, as it kind of has a shoeleathery taste and smell about it, and smells like a campfire whenburned. Aged Virginias taste and smell sort of like an outdoors bbq,kinda meaty in quality with some sweetness. Virginia burns hot,though, so you have to watch your tongue and not puff too hard.Strangely enough, considering I like flavored shisha tobaccos, I'm nota fan of aromatic pipe tobaccos. Give me straight unflavored agedVirginia any day over burley laden with flavoring agents.Pipe tobacco is something you smoke for the flavor. I don;t think I've ever felt a nicotine buzz off of it, but it's also something you don't inhale.Years ago I used to chew plug tobacco to keep me awake when driving on my weekly long night car trips, but I've since given up on that. That stuff *definitely* gives a nicotine hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sariél Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I will occaisionally smoke Carmine Thrifty Cigars from the [url="http://store.niebaum-coppola.com/"]Niebaum-Coppola Winery[/url]. They're soaked in red wine, and are super smooth and mellow. Francis got me hooked on them when I did some work on his studio up there a while back.

MR Bubble Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 [QUOTE=Hookah - mystiquePipe - sophisticationCigar - manlinessDip/Chew - redneck trailertrashCigarette - unrefined[/QUOTE] You're mean, and I'm telling! I need my cigarettes in the morning with my coffee. Now when I'm at work (and especially when I used to fly) I need 1 or maybe 2 dips. Now in the evening when things quiet down (they never totally quiet down here though) I want my shisha. So, I guess that makes me the neighborhood "unrefined, mystical-redneck trailertrash dude. It does have a nice ring to it. Great name if I were a wrestler. MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
