Brandon` Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Well lately, I've bough about 600 bucks of shisha and coals and everytime I smoke I get sick. I dunno what it is but it's driving me crazy and I think i'm about to quit forsure. I used to smoke Nakhla and stopped for a while and started up on Tangiers Lucid but I started Nakhla again and started getting bad headaches and throwing up after smoking so I thought maybe it's because I quit and started again and instantly started inhaling. So I said forget that, I started smoking Al Fakher and even that makes me throwup. I don't know what it is, I've always smoked once every other day and now i'm just so angry and want to quit. I use coconaras and recently tryed AF Coconut coals and still got headaches. I dunno what it is but I think i'm done forsure. I think i'm gonna quit completly. Can't stand it no more, seems like its my life and the past 3 weeks i've thrown up so many times and even before that, so I took a break for 2 months, 1 month because of pneumonia and 1 months because I got sick of hookah and getting sick from it. I'll make a thread in trades with everything sometime soon looking to get 1000 from everything, got about 6 hookahs to sell and over 20 kilos of tobacco.

Jacob Shock Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 its time to take a break.ive never used AF coconut coals but ive used coconaras. they never made me sick. the brands of tobacco you listed never made me sick as well. take a week break, eat before you smoke and drink wile you smoke. you might already be a little sick and hookah is just setting you off. and yea change/wash that hose as well. i know your an expienced smoker so im not gonna go into the lighting of coals/packing method, heat managment. you know all that bullshit.

Codename067 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Here is the only solution that I can think of besides taking a break. Before EVERY session, have a decent sized meal and drink a decent amount of liquid [Water, Juice, Soda]. Report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vitza Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) might not have to do w/ food... i mean, it might if you have an ED (eating disorder) and when your body's weak its super sensitive to any stimulus (nicotine) if your eating normally though and your not too far under your normal/ideal (ideal for someone your height/age) body mass then it might be a different problem... you throwing up is your bodys way of telling you somethings wrong and its trying to correct it self. youre probably experiencing something called metabolic/respiratory acidosis, what happens is when your smoking your creating an imbalance in your body's normal acid/base level so that your becoming more acidic from the retained carbon dioxide/monoxide (oxygen is alkaline, carbon dioxide is acidic... in your blood)... your bodys natural ways to correct this imbalance is to hyperventilate (throws out CO2 and increases O2) and/or throw up the residual acid in your stomach (raises the blood Ph)... by doing so your body is becoming more alkaline and restoring balance. also, you can have a million other problems from neurological problems to worst case scenario of cancer. if your not eating "normally" then start increasing your protein/calories... if you are eating "normally" then go to your primary physician, get some labs and a check up done asap. if there's a problem its best to catch it before it gets worse. *edit* forgot about pneumonia... if your still on antibiotics then they might have an adverse reaction w/ nicotine... if your off the meds then your body is probably still weak from the infection. also... it might just be your time to quit smoking lol Edited January 6, 2010 by vitza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sine Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Awww. :-( We'd all hate to see you leave. I know that, personally, I'm asthmatic, so hookah can really kick the shit out of my lungs from time to time and make me really sick, so I take extended breaks once or twice a year. I hear pneumonia can really leave your lungs pretty weakened for a while, so that could be contributing, but if you've been on a 3 month break and it's still making you sick, I'd probably just stop and maybe give it a try again in a year or two. :-\ horrible news, man.

Brandon` Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks for all the posts, I'm going to try 1 more smoke and see whats up. If I don't throw up i'll stay if I do, I'll be forced to quit. As far as what I have, The problem is with me is EVERYTHING I buy, I take it out and put it into containers even if I didn't smoke it. So don't know if you like that but o well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Are you underpacking your bowls? Are you leaving a gap between foil and tobacco? That was causing the major headaches you are talking about for me. Never had to throw up, but everybody reacts different. No I go for traditional packing and the headaches are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 My only guess from what others have said could be you're puffing too fast on the hookah. I know if I do I can feel like I'm gonna throw up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Yeah, Brandon man, I don't wanna see you go... Try it a few more times. Eat well before smoking, and drink water during the sesh. Start out taking about one pull per minute. Just be easy with it. It can't be your coals, shisha, or packing method, because none of those brands have made me sick and I know you know your shit when it comes to packing and heat management. If after doing all this you still fail, then I think it's time to call it quits. Hopefully you figure it out and stay with us. If you do quit, make sure to still stop by and say hey every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] +1 w/ everything stated... take it slow and dont make huge clouds, take a couple deep breaths of fresh air during the time between hitting the hookah and try smoking outside... if you dont get nauseated then you'll know the problem has to do w/ you not receiving enough oxygen and having too much carbon dioxide Edited January 7, 2010 by vitza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon` Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 To be honest the last bowl I did with AF was alot underpacked then I usually do because for some reason I never pack AF to the rim like I do with every other brand. I'll try some Tangiers Lucid for when I do smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also realised that smoking inside gets me abit sick rather than smoking it outside in the nice cool air! People deal with it differently so I suggest you try a few times experimenting here and there! Itd be a shame to sell all your staash and also loosing another member of the great HF Good luck again and take care RJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
