summer Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 So most recently i've been enduring peoples comments about hookah smoking. I realized that i dont know much about the health risks associated myself, other then its not "healthy". Does hookah smoke turn your lungs black like a cigarette smoker? If someone would like to give me some information to help myself understand the risks, so i can explain it to others when they try to preach about how they like living "healthy lifestyles", it would be much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezxen Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Do a search ormayby someone has the thread links saved. There are two or three threads one with a link to avideo a guy did comparing cigarets to hookah tobacco, from what I remeber 5 mins of cigaret smoke made the filter dark dark brown and 20 mins of hookah smoke barly registered on the filter he had to increase the darkness of the photo to show it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noodle Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 All lungs are black past a certain age. If you've ever seen sheep lung prior to it being used to make haggis, you'll note that it's black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angekfire Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I found this link yesterday, and thought it may be an interesting read for anyone interested in a comparison between shisha & cigarettes.

hookah hippie Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Summer, you don't have to justify your actions to strangers, especially the ones that preach to you. If you want them to go away, you could try saying, "of course it's bad for me,the sooner it kills me the sooner I don't have to listen to you." LOL have a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
