Hookah Smoking, Health Effects And Lies?


Recommended Posts

I have to ask there is NOTHING at all positive on google and youtube has videos of people hard pressed to say hookah smoking is awful and it as bad as cig's and what not yet they have nothing to back it up on! there are a few videos on youtube with people actually prooving that these other people are full of crap and what not which is nice. but i just dont understand why there so hard pressed to screw us hookah smokers over and make it look like where trying to kill our selfs faster than cig smokers.

Obviously smoking hookah isnt good for you, I mean the fact is you're inhaling tobacco smoke. But the hype of how bad it is is really overdone. One of the biggest lies i've ever seen is "1 hour of hookah is equal to 100 cigarettes. ", trying to imply that we are harming ourselves as much as if we smokes 100 cigs. The truth is that 1 hour of hookah is equal to the SMOKE VOLUME meaning amount of smoke, not cigarette smoke just smoke that 100 cigarettes would produce. This really pissed me off when I saw this because it's completely misleading people.

I dont understand why there is such a huge thing against hookah. Maybe it's because it's a big fad for younger teens and their scared that they will try ciggerettes later on, which could be a potential threat, but ask everyone here if they started smoking hookah and then that made them try cigs and most will tell you know. I started smoking hookah two and a half years ago when i turned 18 and not once have i said to myself hmmm hookahs good, but you know what i REALLY want is a cig lol.

First the 100 cigs= one hookah session false
another thing

cig tobacco has additives from the compony to make it addicting .
Hookah tobacco is striaght tobacco with honey or molasses, and flavoring (dont know what companies use for flavors)

ALso most carcinogens in tobacco only apear when combusted , hookah tobacco is baked witch is why when your done with a session the tobacco is chared and not ash

now back to watchiong the river

Yeah I mean I enjoy a cigar once a month or so, but that came along with my first hookah. And as for you if you already smoke, then their whole campaign against stopping hookah smoking to prevent further cig trying doesnt even include you ahha. And if you do actually switch from cigs to hookah thatll be the best thing you can do ahah. The main thing is that people dont smoke hookah for a buzz like people do with cigs, I personally smoke hookah because I enjoy the flavor, the huge clouds and LASTLY a nice benefit is it gives me a sense of relaxation. But I dont smoke hookah to be relaxed you know?

Right, I mean for the 100 cig things their talking about how much smoke is produced, not including any harmful effects from hookah smoke, just the volume. Honestly with the clouds I get 1 hour of hookah is probably equal to 1000 cigs ahha.

My favorite thing concerning this is the "Hookah PSA" video on YouTube. It was funny as hell. Three girls trying to smoke hookah, failing at it miserably, then bashing it with a bunch of "facts." Too bad they took it down. :(
