Giant Ninja Robot Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I've noticed recently that there are a few recurring things that happen when I smoke hookah:- My forehead feels somewhat tense like the blood vessels are constricting and I can feel the pulse all over my head easier (with my fingers).- I get more sluggish and by the end of the session lose all motivation to clean my setup and whatnot.- I can get jittery and aggitated if the peace and quiet isn't kept (I smoke mostly solo).I'm assuming these are normal effects of nicotine being introduced to the body, I don't smoke NEARLY as much as some on the forum so I get buzzed by washed tobacco and Nak and Tang still hit me like a truck. At the very most I'll smoke like 5-7 times a week usually it's more like 4-5 since I lack the time to do otherwise.Anyone else get these same effects?

wilarseny Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I get headaches fairly often, but that might be due to poor air circulation (I'm in a dorm room). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambuletzd2h Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 every now and then ill get a headache but its probably because i was smoking for hours on end and some night ill be done also and have no modivation to clean as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get relaxed from washed shisha but no buzz. I usually don't have much motivation after smoking but i wouldn't say it makes me lazy. If I smoke nakhla and tang i get a buzz but they only last for about 5-6 minutes at the start of the session, then for the rest of the session i just stay relaxed.

But I wash it anyway. 4-5 times week seems about right for me, and so far i haven't had a nicotine buzz in a few months now, even with nakhla.

atticus Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 i definitely notice i move slower, and i will get a headrush if i stand up to quick, but i don't get really crazy buzzed, or turn into the hulk. as far as how you feel gnr, it sounds to me like a little bit of dehydration. i know my sessions go better if i have some tea or coffee or water with me.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 hmmm, I'll make it a point to hydrate more during sessions, thanks for the advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 but not only during sessions but also throughout the day. If you are hydrated throughout the day your body will be much happier with you when you smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giant Ninja Robot Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Duly noted, and yeah actually I haven't been hydrating enough in general lately especially since I've been excercising it off.Water here I come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantastik Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 sometimes after a solid session, or even during. i have to poop. not like a casual kind, but one of those OHMYGAWD types, like i'll explode if i dont. like...okay i'll stop with that subject.headaches come if i've been smoking too long, as well as getting sick.i still get a buzz off washed, but i'm leveling up.

Scalliwag Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I feel like crap if I don't get my coals going real good or have too many sessions, or real long sessions. Most of my sessions are well over 2 hours and I'm taking monster hits sometimes. Maybe using a little more moderation would've been a better new years rez than drink more Shinerbock???? Nah, what am I thinkin? ARRRRR!!!!!Carbon monoxide accumulates in your system. It does not release from the body very fast and because of that you can get sick over a course of days because of the level in your blood keeps building. That along with the effects of nicotine sound a little like your effects in the first post.

Go ahead and list how smoking seems to affect you...wow crazy! i thought i was the only one that felt that way. when i smoke solo i do get this jitteryness if its not as nice and calm as i imagined it. i think a lot of people get sluggish tho. blood and oxygen flow just feels restricted to me. ill get lightheaded and somewhat sore after smoking. i used to feel the headache you're describing however. it's weird, i only felt like this when i was new to hookah and had this feeling in my head that "smoking is bad! you're doing a BAD thing" I know that sounds bizarre, but sometimes just that thought gave me this pulsing headache because i was slightly stressing about it. This also happened when i was stressed about something i had to do right after smoking, like work... Just try to relax and calm yourself down beforehand, more than you do already...

Hojo Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Tangiers makes me deaf in my left ear. No other shisha does this, and with Tangiers it literally never fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSKmustang Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I tend to get very hungry and thirsty. Only once I got a headache (and I realized that I rushed to put the coals so they may have not been lit fully, since then I just keep patient and have never experienced a headache).One time, I got horribly sluggish and tired from smoking. I felt like I had a huge dinner and had a few drinks. I didn't want to get up.Relaxation is definitely another feeling I tend to enjoy which is great.Also time travel... hours pass and I don't realize it.

Scoop Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 i get no side effects from tangiers lucid.regular tangiers of nakhla (especially on an empty stomach) make me melt into a chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamWhee Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I used to feel like that, mostly solo sessions. The worst that's happen to me was fainting, but I wasn't hydrated, and I had low-blood sugar, and smoked 4 bowls in 4 hours. Tangiers make me feel sluggish and low-blood sugar. But yeah we always make it a note to drink water when we smoke, and just keep a full belly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElijahSing Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Well, last time i smoked, I did way too much in a short period of time, and I felt like I had a massive hangover.I had to lay down and close my eyes or I was gonna puke.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Morgan Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I generally don't feels any negative side effects, with the accpetion of a bad case of CO poisoning one time. I have noticed that I've been more prone to getting sinus infections than i was when i didn't smoke... but then again I always get those at certain times of the year.
