kikkoman1231 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Well I woke up this morning to go to class, and my mom's boyfriend, who slept over for the night, looked behind the TV for some odd reason, and found my handheld.He basically confronted me this morning and said "Hey, if I were you, I'd get rid of that NHT pipe back there." And I kind of looked at him funny and said, "It's a hookah.." Then he got really serious and said, "No hookah leaves a white residue on it." So I picked up my handheld, bowl still packed with foil still on top, and sure enough, tiny pieces of ash was left on the foil, leading him to believe that it was "NHT" I then explained to him everything else about hookah, how it has little nicotine and no tar, and you know the rest.I don't know if he was convinced or not, but I'm old enough to know that tobacco is not an illegal drug.If my house wasn't filled with fucking puritans I could smoke my hookah whenever I wish.

Majid Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 LOLI've had this problem and my family is from the Middle East. Would have been funny if you licked up the ash and pretended to trip out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bainard Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 And this is my biggest aggrevation when it comes to me and my hookahs.... People who don't know about them are immediatly scared or intimidated and assume that it is drugs because, obviously, if they are ignorant of something then it must be illegal, right??

echotc Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I really hate when people don't understand what a hookah is for. Or when they just don't believe you when you say its used for tobacco. I mentioned it to a kid in my class and now he's convinced I smoke ...non shisha herbs. It really pisses me off sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An1m Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Haha some older guy in his fourtys with a younger girl came up to me in a park about a year and a half ago while I was smoking solo and reading a book. He was condemning me and then after showing him the box of Nakhla and explaining what hookah was his girlfriend was smoking with me hahahaha. He looked pretty upset but I was rofling. He was a muslim and I told him, jokingly, that he should be ashamed that he didn't know what a hookah was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumsygrace Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Ugh, I had that problem too with my mom. She freaked out when she found my hookah. Even after I explained it to her, she still wanted to confiscate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylren Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 HAHA, a couple of weeks ago my mom comes up to me laughing and says, " Your dad's wondering how you got hooked on that weird middle-eastern drug". I explained to him what it was and he smokes it now. Of course my dad's an old hippy so he thinks everything is drugs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best way to prevent cancer is to try and relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeHT Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 It was invented to smoke horse dung for all I care, what matters is how it's used today IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boricua Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 My family is pretty chill about it. When I'm home I bring out my hookah and sometimes even my grandpa will take a couple of puffs. One of my old neighbors now always asks for it and want to buy one MY problem surprisingly is some friends that will not try it for the life of them, first they have the questions: "is it legal?" and even when I explain what it is they rarely will have even a puff: "oh I've never smoked anything" is usually what I get from them....

r1v3th3ad Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I get down talked occasionally... "ya its better than cigs...as far as I'm concerned its like filtering a fart in a bathtub"...but on the other hand my pap gets a kick outta it, he calls it the "Hookah-lay-lee".I still get nht references with it, anymore I just try to ignore them, its not worth the aggravation IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
