peaceman27 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Has anyone ever felt real sick after smoking a hookah? It used to happen to me sometimes after I smoked a bowl, but hasn't happened in months (except when I smoke too much too fast while watching a movie). But last night I smoked 20 minutes of a bowl casually and I felt really terrible. Does anyone else have this experience? And if so, where exactly does it come from?

MichaelLCP Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 It happens to me every once and awhile. Usually because I don't drink enough. Drink lots of water/or whatever and smoke slow. Make sure your breathing oxygen too. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 This is a problem I've encountered firsthand and heard of from others, and it seems like there's quite a spectrum with the severity of the hookah sickness. Personally I've only experienced it once, and it wasn't too bad, but I know people who have thrown up from it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Either dehydration or carbon monoxide poisoning. In other words, keep a drink with you, don't smoke on an empty stomach, and don't pull too frequently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaceman27 Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 I've been smoking for 3 or 4 years now, and it rarely happens. But when it hits me it hits me hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peaceman27 Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 usually its just a stomach ache... sometimes a headache. i know sometimes its because im smoking too much, but is there a possibility of it being the tobacco? Lately I've been getting sick every time I smoke my AF mint... no other flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
â€On Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Every now and then it happens. Like the others have suggested, empty stomach, not enough fluids, smoking too frequently. You're basically depriving your body of things it needs and substituting something it cant use (smoke). Even the most experienced smokers get this (to varying degrees) once in a while. I would say that if you're having adverse reactions to AF Mint, stop smoking AF Mint. It seems like a pretty simple solution to me hah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazeli Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 this is why i don't like to smoke alone, it's just too much smoke and you feel weak and tired. It helps to have those breaks in between smoking and like others said drink a lot of water or gatorade. It really does help to keep hydrated.

vendetta_revived Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Happened once, and made me puke. Turns out it was the quicklites I was using, turned to natural coals and never again!

S3cretz Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Like V Said Quicklites Do this to you or let me rephrase quicklites that didint sit after you lit them Like every Guide on the net says Wait till the coal is ashen gray allover then put it on the head. Few people know it but most of the quicklites for sale used to be cheap coals used for burning incense that were repackaged for tobacco to make a quick buck. There's some nasty stuff in quicklites. Otherwise like the others said Eat and hydrate Hookah sickness can be anything from carbon monoxide to nicotine overdose and you need your vital fluids and a full stomach to combat that.

[/quote] Nope you're not the only one. Quicklites give me a headache. IF I smoke on an empty stomach, too early in the day (???) or don't drink enough, I can get queasy stomach or a headache. Some flavors affect me wrong too. Also, make sure the thingy (what's it called, the little hole thingy that lets the smoke out of the base?) isn't too tight, I've found that you get some rotten smoke if it's not working properly and your pipe is airtight.

southernhookin Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Ok! So, hydration, slow down on draw frequency, no empty stomach, watch out for the quicklite headaches..... I have been having issues with mild off and on nausea for some months now, think it's hormone related due to my lovely age of almost 50, but last night when I was done and ready to go to bed I was SOOOOO tired and I reallly thought I was gonna puke. Took 2 vistaril for nausea plus extra strength tylenol. I thought I was gonna really get sick though. I have been burning the old candle from both ends lately also so don't feel too swift to start with.... Thanks for all the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YanGsTer Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Oh i just puked the other day, best shisha experience ever! The smell of AF strawberry is just gross, too artificial and sweet for me. Well, i'm not really sure why i throw up. Maybe I had too much for dinner or maybe i'm just inhaling too quickly for a newbie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
