Need Some Help

[destructo]

so i moved into a house and they said that i couldnt smoke and i asked about hookah and they said no since its illegal. only problem its not illegal. I guess they family doesnt want their house to reek of cigs when they stop renting it. is there any way to convince them to let me hookah? btw the lease says no pets but they said i could have fish or a lizard so they seem flexible.

You should be safe just to go on and smoke your hookah inside, just crack a window and light your coal over the stove with the vent on. Oh yeah the term used here for anything illegal is NHT and the board is pretty strict in regards to using anything other than that term. Not sure if your gonna catch any flack for your post but just a heads up.

i rather use the gas grill outside since the coals i use leave a pretty bad order when lighting and corrode the coil. i was actually looking to try and talk them into actually letting me since it doesnt stink or discolor walls and theres an unfinished basement so no carpet burns like my last apartment

thats a bit of a tough one. They said no nh products but didnt specify about hookah. When i moved into my place my landlord asked if i smoked (i didnt own my own hookah at the time) i told her no, she said no smoking allowed. She does however know i smoke hookah inside the house and doesnt mind. I do though have a spot of laminate tile i need to fix in my kitchen. That the biggest part dont burn ut floors at all! Luckly my house has no carpet at all. Only fake hard wood, tile, and stuff in the kitchen.

ya last year i was in an apartment and burnt my carpet and it was 850$ to replace it, but this year i have an unfinished basement with concrete floors and a gas grill in the back to light them so im set

if worse comes to worse, you can ask if you can smoke tobacco products on the patio/outside, so long you're not smoking in-doors then its seems like it'd be okay.

already do that or go next door but its about to get really cold out which would totally take away the relaxing part of smoking

That's just a hard one to figure out. I've never noticed any damages from hookah like the ones that come from cigarette smoke. Though maybe I haven't lived in the same place long enough for it to have an effect. There's definitely no horrible smell left behind, and I've never noticed any staining on the walls. The only bad thing is the dunk traveler or animal who gets too close and causes a carpet burn. Hookah has always been the only thing that my roommate's and I have allowed inside. Cigarette smokers have to go outside. It also may be hard to convince them that it's not for NHT. People who don't know anything about them automatically associate hookahs with it. The only thing I could suggest is either just do it or educate them on it and see what they say.

i say invite the land lord over for some food and drinks and then just start the convo and show him your hookah and this forum so he see's its all legal..then show him how it works and the flavors..let him smell the flavors and see if he will let you fire it up for a minute for him to try..

Is this like a vacation rental or a long term kind of thing, either way my answer is go for it, i've never had any scent left behind and yea just air out the room, even though the scent will be of something nice and fragrant, i doubt any scent will be left behind anyways

Do you see these people often? If it's a live-in-their-house thing then my answer is no, but if you're living w/o them then go for it

its for a semester since most apartments here dont lease for 6 months they only do 1 year

Education is definitely the key. I'd ask them to come over and show them everything and convince them to let you smoke the hookah in their presence as a test run for their final approval/disapproval. Honestly, incense lingers longer than hookah smoke. My aunt dreaded going into a hookah bar with me Saturday night convinced that she'd choke up from the smoke. I kept telling her it wasn't like cigg smoke. She was very impressed by the pleasant smell and that it didn't bother her lungs or her allergies.

Not that burning holes in the carpet is a concern.

You can tell them that the residue is water soluble, unlike cigarette residue. You should prepare some sort of contingency plan to prevent charcoal damage to the floors and present it to them to assure them.
