Papske360 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 So here's the deal. I'll be getting a hookah soon (not a big fancy one, just a cheap starter kit thing from amazon) but my mom doesn't allow anything like that in the house. So I've been trying to think of a place to smoke with friends, that's at least inside because summer's in Texas are INSANELY hot... I had the idea of my shed (hear me out) because my friend smoked his in their's before he moved. We have a table and chairs in there that we can set up, theres an outlet for music and a fan, and there's a semi-decent a/c... But how would I explain all the cars parked outside, and nobody being in the house if my parents wake up at night. Also, we have a gameroom garage which is air conditioned and has ping pong, fooseball, couches etc, which would be the ideal place. And we would be able to get away with it as long as we were quiet, and the smell didn't linger for too long into the morning. My dad wakes up at 2 in the morning for work, however, i don't think he would mind me smoking since he's smoked cig's since he was 12. So after I posted that, it's more of a rant on whats going through my head. I guess I'm asking where you smoke with your friends? Or ideas on my situation?

dizzbizz Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Well, I would say be honest with your parents that you're going to smoke hookah and let them know you'll be in the shed with friends so you wont disturb them and disrespect them by smoking in the house. I'm in the same situation now. I moved back with my parents so I can save up for a new car. They don't like me smoking inside so I set up in the back yard next to the pool and hang out with friends or smoke solo. As long as they feel respected they don't care. As far as your dad goes, just ask him and see what he says. Maybe he wont like it but maybe he'll negotiate and allow you to smoke in the game room a few nights. Also, welcome to the forum!

Michel Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Convince them a bit more (if you tell them) by saying you can get nicotine/tar free chicha. Sure helped me back then... Smoking undetected is kinda stressy to begin with, not really fun to do isn't it? You should enjoy a hookah not rush it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az1z Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) I dont smoke inside the house very often because the smell is usually what disturbes my parents, so I usually smoke in my garage, at night in houston its not that bad. I have a pool table and AC in there. I dont usually use the AC, though. When the weather is nice i smoke on my patio. Although, when its hot outside i just smoke in the kitchen, and turn our stove vent on, its larger than the ones you would see in typical homes so it does a very good job of pulling in the smoke. Word of adivce of having a hookah in the garage, becareful with your stuff, you can easily start a fire (speaking from experice) Edited March 29, 2012 by az1z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamyxcupcakes Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I live in a house with some friends... We have basically turned our garage into the hookah haven. Big couch, flat screen, games movies (etc) and a nice stereo for tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 First off, welcome to Hookah Forum! I would first be honest and straightforward with them. Work out a compromise. Tell them you respect their house and wish to abide by their rules, so offer to smoke in the shed, since you already seem to be okay with that and it wouldn't (shouldn't) affect them much or at all. What I would do. Let us know what you decide to do and what the outcome is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) I smoke in my room either before my dad gets home, or after he has gone to sleep, but they are on the ground floor and I am on the first floor, so there is really no chance that he'd ever see me even if he does wake up in the middle of the night and gets up to do whatever! Everyone else in my home (Mom, 2 brothers, sister, a sister in law) knows about me smoking and are cool with it. One of my brothers smokes with me almost every day and the other smokes with me sometimes, but he does, and even my sister does, however seldom. I DID try reasoning with my dad, but what he did was to throw an unbelievable fit and throw all my stuff out (Personal freedom is not really much of a concept in India), so I had to resort to doing what I am doing. [Edit] By the way, I already had a strong hunch before I told my parents, that my mom was gonna be cool with it and my dad, kinda impossible, so if you think that you're dad will be okay with it, then surely, do talk to him.

Papske360 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Thank ya'll for all the quick replies! I'll surely talk to them about it soon! Just as an addition, I thought I would throw a link to the hookah I'm wanting to buy just to get your opinions on it? [url="http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-98-sphinx-1-hose-hookah.html"]http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-98-sphinx-1-hose-hookah.html[/url] I'm fine with spending a little more money to get better hoses etc. because it only comes with a washable one. Honestly, I'd like to get the hose in the picture if anyone knows which kind that is. I'd love ya'lls opinions on what shisha to start with, or any other accessories to buy! Thanks in advance!

mushrat Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Well, personally i'd spend the additional 16 bucks for the Nammor. You just select the hose from the hose pull down menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A high quality washable hose or two is critical, especially if you don't have a large number of hoses to dedicate to different flavors. Some flavors will really stick in an unwashable hose - this can ruin a session and anything you smoke from it will taste bad. I'm glad that the issue of being upfront with your parents and respecting their house rules has been addresses. Maybe suggesting a trial period for smoking with your friends in the areas you mentioned might help - if one location didn't work out they'd be more open to allowing you to try another option, and it allows them to see that you are being respectful and reasonable.

Bawhee Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I agree with everyone on getting your parents to respect your smoking habit while abiding to their rules about it - I smoke in my room and always make sure to close the door so the smell doesnt get out when I smoke, also open windows for ventilation are crucial. Im pretty sure they should be ok with you smoking in the shed if youre smart about the whole talking with them bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Simple solution: Your 18... get your own apartment. That's me being a bit pragmatic. My Parent's don't like me smoking either... to this day and I am bit older than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucy Ford Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I've found garages to be perfect spots. I smoke 95% in my buddy's garage. We smoked basically every night and the garage was our haven. Wow, I haven't been on here in forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 i just say tough it out and sit outside pain and pleasure from hookah and if ur parents dont like it tell them that its something you want to do and that you enjoy it and that if they dont want it at there house just dont do it there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
