When I told him hes like what is that what do you smoke out of it? I kinda lied and told him flavored tea leaves because I didn't want him to think I was smoking NHT. I think that really it was caused by hookah and being outside when I smoke. Here in Michigan its about [b]30 degrees[/b] and I can't smoke inside my house because everyone complains about the smell so I end up smoking in the garage and I always think that since it's in the garage it's not gonna be as cold so I just wear swearpants and a tee shirt so[b] it being cold + all that smoke[/b] probaly started it all up. There's your problem... Figure out a way to stay out of the cold when you smoke and you should be fine. They make fairly cheap heaters.. you can plug into an electrical socket. I think some range from $25??? not entirely sure... but if that is just the problem that is a fairly easy thing to fix..bundle up a lot keep your feet warm but an electric heater would help in that respect... [/quote] None of that stuff acually works my garage is even a heated garage but once it gets heated someone opens the garage and boom it gets freezing. I could get one of those heaters but I don't lknow why I don't like wind or anything air blowing towards me plus I highly doubt a little heater would keep more warm.

Canon Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I get coughs one time a year, and that time is now. this year isnt so bad as the years in the past, i feel like a smoker and that i have lung cancer. ive been getting these coughs for a few years now (my mother gets them too). thing is, i started getting them before i smoked the hookah. smoking hookah gives you an 80% chance of lung cancer? thats complete bullshit. If any member that reads this has lung cancer please speak up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T355 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I would get a second opinion. There is no way you have a 80% chance of developing lung cancer from smoking 3-4 times a week. The couple times I had pneumonia the last thing I wanted to do is fire up a bowl of sweet molasses covered tobacco. And the fact that he thinks you still have a 1 in 4 chance of developing lung cancer if you stop now shows he doesn't really know what he is talking about. Plus, he is probably wondering wtf you were doing smoking tea leaves. But if you do decide to stop smoking, you can give all your shisha to me. I will make sure it doesn't go to waste.

shesha1 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 [quote name='Brandon`' date='07 December 2009 - 07:45 PM' timestamp='1260240355' post='436410'] Now recently I have been coughing like crazy so I decided to go to the doctors and he announced that I have pneumonia. From the X-Ray, My whole left lung was covered. He told me it was from my water pipe and that I have to stop. Over the past 2 months I started getting to the range of 3-5 times a week I would smoke. He told me if I don't stop, (Eww just puked) I'll have a 80% chance of getting alot worse and getting lung cancer. If I stop, I got a 25% chance of getting lung cancer. Hookah's not worth that much to me so I have to stop. I'm just wondering I hear that people smoke 3-4 times a DAY. Y did this happen to me from 3-5 times a week? He told me I have sensitive lungs but still they're are alot of hookah smokers out there why me out of everyone? I cough every 10 seconds and puke every 50 coughs in my mouth. Anyone ever got this bad? Should I quit or slow down or just wait? Let me know, Thanks. I should be putting all my stuff in the trade thread sooner or later so check that out when you get a chance. Thanks. Brandon` [/quote] Ill be dead in 10 years then. I have been smoking for 15 years. And for the last two,,,,,,,,,6 hours a day everyday!!!!!!

ZAGO Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 geeze guys! At the very least you should hold off for a while until your respiratory system lightens up. Its still introducing particulate matter into the lungs. i say just take it easy for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_Hookah Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I had doctor tell me once that your breathe in more carcinogens driving to work than you do with hookah. So who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix746 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) only way hookah could cause pneumonia is if you NEVER cleaned it and used dirty ass water, and i dont know if that would even do it. Its probably the cold, being in the cold too long is the number one cause of bacterial pneumonia. I had pneumonia over the summer took 3 days to go away with the antibiotics. just take a break from smoking and finish ur meds. u will be better soon. by the way, fun fact did you know that pneumonia is the 8th leading cause of death in the us. around 60 thousand people die every year from pneumonia and the flu in the us. This is mostly in infants and the elderly tho. lol sorry, that may seem scary since you have pneumonia. i promise those antibiotics work wonders, you will be fine.

Arcane Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 its funny how you're smoking in a garage with no heater and its 30 degrees outside...you get pneumonia....and then you think smoking hookah has something to do with it... i can fairly confidently say, it's probably not the hookah. why do you think people bundle up during the winter? yes, to keep warm...but, also to prevent themselves from getting sick... why do you think your parents didn't want you playing in the rain when it was cold outside? seriously?!

Hippo_Master Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 It sounds like you got sick, then smoked hookah (the smoke contains water vapor), and now you have pneumonia. So your sickness was actually not caused by the hookah, but you smoking the hookah while you were sick in below freezing temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
