sksiazki Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Oh? Are those in his Tangiers forum? Did he go into detail as to why he thought so? Interesting, I wouldnt have guessed that as being the top risk although I guess they often go somewhat hand in hand and can have some of the same causes. Keep an eye on the ole blood pressure. My internet speeds have been picking up a bit, been able to scour the forum better recently. Man I had forgotten how much some of ya'll smoke here! Last year as we were prepping for deployment, there were a lot of long, high stress days and I found myself on my balcony relaxing and smoking a lot more than normal, two or three times a week, two-five hours at a time. I finally got a little concerned ha, felt the need to cut back. Haha compared to some of ya'll I was taking baby steps, I think I read one dude who said he will sometimes smoke the whole day? hahaha you guys are hardcore.

Chreees Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 There's nothing better than smoking outside in the summer nights. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sksiazki Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 No indeed. That is one reason I need a balcony wherever I live. Coming back from work, setting up a movie on the balcony, the ocean waves in the background as the sunsets, eating my dinner and smoking my hookah, that is ittttt!

mattarios2 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 He said it in a video on youtube. I don't smoke much at all, We have 2 30g bowls 3-4 times a week, but I only smoke with 5 or 6 people. So 6-8 bowls a week but with 5 or 6 other people on each hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Recently in one of Eric's videos If I remember correctly, he said it is unlikely to get lung cancer from hookah smoking, he said what you need to be concerned/keep an eye out for is cardiovascular disease. Right..like COPD. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Doesn't mean it can't happen, he was just saying what is more likely to happen, that is at least how I took it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Well, considerign everything that is in our air, food, water, homes, etc.. I'm not too worried about the cancer part. The COPD part is already an issue. the extent is not evaluated yet. Next round of dr visits..joy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Just out of curiosity how much hookah did you smoke previous to the copd and for how many years? Obviously other smoking products have an effect but exclude cigars or anything else you may have smoked as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 started smoking hookah a few times a week in 2004. Never inhaled tobacco products. Been exposed to a lot of other environmental factors over the years. Everything from dust and insecticides to formaldehyde. Just wanted you all to be aware that one day you may have trouble catching your breath or exerting yourself if you are a regular hookah smoker. Not a surprise but be aware.

mattarios2 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Yeah, and sure there are plenty of other factors, good and bad. Daily aerobic exercise even helps strengthen the lungs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
