jan019 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hi, Just came across a thought about the future of shisha. I mean in the sense of the making of it. I personally think that as hookah will get more and more popular that the industries will start adding some shit into the shisha that will make people adicted faster. I think that today's shisha is still pretty ''clean'', but who knows what kinds of chemicals they'll star putting in it in the near future. What do you think?

jorlyfish Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hadn't really ever thought about it, but I doubt it. Even if some brands do, I'm sure there will always be products from the countries in which hookah is a longtime tradition that haven't been messed with. I'm more concerned about shisha becoming insanely taxed here in the States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingsMaster Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 more flavors most likely, and more accurate flavors, mixed drink flavors or popular drink flavors, maybe some off the wall crap like pizza flavored, who knows, i doubt they will start adding nasty chemicals to it though.

mustafabey Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Pizza flavor shisha........sausage and extra cheese please and pass the crushed peppers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoapplesplease Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I think the future of shisha will be in the past......as in more traditional unflavored moassels,tombels,juraks and tombac/tombeki, ajami where the quality of the tobacco will be the center of focus along with possibly some new better electric coals/coal substatutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezxen Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Automated process . One day you will not pack a bowl it will come in a perfect ready hea.... . Just kidding DOnt think it will change much . Other than Flavors and mainstreaming. If anything tho if Shisha company add chemicals to make it more addictive i would just smoke nothing but shisha i made myself . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voliminal Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 If there will be any brands making shisha with a lot of chemicals, I'm pretty sure that there will be other brands without 'em, and that's what's gonna be the base of their sales.

Epoch Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 This is all assuming that hookahs continue getting more popular. We could see the trend go the opposite direction in time, with hookah popularity peaking and then fading out. We may be enjoying the hookah's golden age in the west right now! Not to be a downer.

Josh Hamilton Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) chemical heat activation...pop it in and it smokes as if there was coals...something like a neon/glow night stick...harmless and so ez to use just shake it...and pop it on you hookah...ready to use disposable bowl...with artificial flavoring..take your hookah wherever and pop it in and smoke it..good for 20 mins..seriously its like the keurig coffee maker available now in 100 flavors...bacon...sausage...and try our new aunt jemima pancake oooo I cant believe it tastes like butter shisha Edited October 29, 2010 by Josh Hamilton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I do think it will become less popular over time. More popularity and visibility leads to more press, leading to more studies scaring people away from hookah (it's like smoking a bazillion cigarettes with every inhale!), lawmaking (i.e. taxing shisha, lounges getting shut down, etc.), and so on, which will likely put a damper on things. I know there have been studies done independently (like the videos posted here) showing how much less crap is in a hookah than in cigs, but that doesn't mean people won't twist the results whichever way funding tells them to.

Arcane Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 they'll make it so that when you take a pull, music starts playing...also, little shisha men will climb out of the holes in your bowl and do a dance and cheer you on as you blow 6ft rings... then smoke dragons will be formed from the wisps of smoke coming from the top of your bowl...they will grow in size and wreak havoc across your neighborhood eating bbq pits and fireplaces...progressively gaining more power... then they will spawn smoke snakes that carry a mystical affliction...and they will attack nieghborhood dogs and cats within the city, causing a pandemic....soon the disease will mutate and be passed onto humans who will not be able to find a cure in time... the government will collapse and anarchy will consume all civilization!!! the immensely rich will commandeer a shuttle from NASA and move to Venus....Earth will because a toxic wasteland only habitable by shisha men, smoke dragons and smoke snakes!!!

Yasseah Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I think hookah(in the US)is climbing an upward slope in popularity right now but may lose popularity after 5-6 years(or maybe not, who knows) but I think it will always be more popular than it has been in the past for sure.
