gigi Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Ok guys I know everyone has their opinion about the hookah health wise, but are any of you scared of the long term affects of the hookah? I wish there was a concrete study done about it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawhee Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 so many threads about this man but ill say it like I always do, I dont think its good for me, I dont care. Im gonna have a life that I enjoy, not gonna let anything obstruct me at it. (ok, not doing illegal shit and all, but you know what I mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yeah to a certain degree I am worried, but I also think everyone needs their vice. I no longer drink or use drugs (for the most part), I eat no fast food and dont drink sodas, and definitely no cigarettes. In my mind I have earned my hookah session.

Cp44 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Smoking anything is bad for you, no benefits what so ever. But once it hits your lips it tastes so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawhee Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 and mostly we smoke daily (at least regulars I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Normally I don't smoke more than about once or twice a week. Partially I don't feel the need to smoke every day (except when in Lebanon...), but also for me it's a conscious form of harm reduction, especially after that info about radiation I dug up.

IainUM Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 i smoke every few days. i smoked cigarettes a bit over the summer (mainly when i was drinking lots) and noticed an almost immediate negative effect on my health versus not much of a difference while smoking hookah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Smoking is detrimental to your health. However, in my opinion the common studies on hookah smoking are either inconclusive, poor science, or taken out of context in some way. I smoke everyday. I also know that I will eventually notice long term effects setting in. At that point I will consider stopping or cutting back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floataround Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 At this point in time, I could be doing a lot worse to help take the edge off. I do not consider myself by any means addicted. I will go through periods where I smoke everyday, and then stop for over a week and just smoke whenever. I am with Katie on the research end of it though. Everyone has an agenda.

herbalsmoke Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I smoke hookah 3-4 times a week, i stoped smoking real cigarettes and started smoking a electric one. I know smoking isnt good at all but like others said you only live once. But i also try to take care of myself by going kickboxing 3-4 times a week. In my head i say that me going kickboxing helps me have better health and smoking is bad for my health so it equals out and my health is neutral.

Stuie Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 same here smoke daily. My great grandfather smoked everyday until 96. So I will take my chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A13lackFish Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Most regulars smoke 1-2 times daily on average. I know I tend to follow this trend. And no I am not concerned about long term effects as I try to live each day one step at a time. But no, inhaling carbon monoxide and smoke into your lungs is never "good for you" but hey, least it doesn't contain rat poison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I smoke several times a week. No ill effects here. And I don't really worry about it too much, even though I know any smoke is dangerous for you. Also, I'm a firm believer that cigarettes are waaay worse for you.

mustang67n Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I agree with the Chreees. I smoke at least once a day, usually twice. Usually by myself just puffing away. Sometimes I'll notice a scratch in my throat for a couple days but it goes away. IDK if it's cause by the smoke but it's all I notice at all compared to when I never smoked. Hookah and drinking are two things I do that I know aren't good for me. I rarely drink, so hookah is my vice, and hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassouni Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 FYI drinking in moderation is good for you. Numerous studies have shown that moderate drinkers live longer than abstainers or heavy drinkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
