Hookah And Health Topics

[gunsboy]

I just wanted to know if it is worth it to have a new sub forum that would have discussions/posts/articles about Hookah, its effect on smokers health and ways to make this a "safer"/"less harmful" habbit.

I have been smoking hookah since I was a teen. Now I am almost 32. Whenever I read an article that says anything negative about hookah smoking I try to find holes in it and issues to discredit it, even if only to myself.

But I am a supporter of listening to what the other side have to say.

Do you think we would have enough material to discuss for a new sub-forum?

Nah. It's pretty rare when those kind of topics come up. I mean, every once in a while there will be a discussion on health topics, but then the articles for the WHO and the rebuttal to that study and then the hookah-exclusive study are referenced. I dont think there's enough material to justify a whole new subforum.

I think they should put that in the women's thread

Not at all. I've only seen three studies that aren't simply redredged cigarette studies. One said that lead measurable in ng/L was serious (:lol). Essentially, most of them say, tobacco is dangerous because cigarettes are dangerous and the same thing is present in hookahs, therefore they're dangerous.
