Papeet Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 [font=lucida sans unicode, lucida grande, sans-serif]Hey Guys, My names Patryk im from Waterloo ON, and i FUCKING LOVE HOOKAH (First Time on the forum obv.)[/font] [size=4]I named this thread this because i think i smoke too much, I started in the summer half way, and from that day its been at least once a day, sometimes even twice a day.[/size] [size=4]i hang out with a large group of friends that do it, and it doesn't help that i get more people into it. [/size] [size=4]But i love the fact that im able to chill with good friends, even make new ones, and take a break from life at the same time. The many people i have met because of it is astonishing and life changing. [/size] [size=4]But getting to the point its always me who seshes everyone becuase i got the AF hook ups (never dry on shisha) and have a car to smoke it in. yes a car i know you guys look down abon that but no one i know has a house yet. so even if i do stay away from the house im allways inhaling some. alot of my friends are givving up on it but i dont want to, so i get more of my friends into it. Everyone says im addicted and when i do go to days withough it, it feels much better when i do it. but i honestly think i could walk away from it if no one did it with me. Never in my life would i touch a ciggerette, there fucking discusting. But really im asking its been 4 months of smoking every day (7 bowls a week), should i take a break or do i continue with this magical life i found. I only ask because whenever i sesh its the only thing i think about. LMAO and it doesnt help that i bought the nicest hookah my friends have seen 2 days ago. i dont even get a head buzz anymore but im fine with it. tell me you smoke more and dont see the end of the tunnell [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a cliche affair Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Welcome! If you feel like your body needs a break, take a break. Simple as that. There are numerous people on this forum though who smoke at least a bowl a day, if not more, and they're fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuie Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Everyone's different. I pretty much smoke from 9pm-2am everyday for at least the last few years, before that a small bowl everyday. Drop the cigs. Man at my worst on cigs, I don't think I was smoking 3 packs a day, might as well do shots of formaldehyde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a cliche affair Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I think he meant that his mom is equating smoking a bowl to smoking 3 packs of cigs a day. He said in the OP that he hates cigs. I'd start by explaining to your mom that a hookah isn't actually burning the tobacco and creating tar, but rather just vaporizing the juices of the tobacco to create the smoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

â€On Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I've been smoking every day, sometimes even two times a day(!) since 2005. I've taken breaks in between (for 6 months I worked out of town, only smoked ever 2nd weekend when I was home, for another long stretch I was away for 4 days at a time and only smoked weekends), but for the most part, it's been a daily thing. The only adverse effect I have really noticed is that I tend to enjoy spending nights in more than going out. I am an active person, I have a decent lung capacity and stamina, with no prep you could tell me to go run 5k and I would, etc. If you want to smoke and don't want to listen to your mom, get a job and move out. If you are worried that smoking is affecting you, stop. Do or do not, that's your choice not ours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I smoked daily for about 6 years including owning my own lounge for 3 years. I have recently been diagnosed with early stages COPD. This has cut my smoking down to once a week. I now have an emergency inhaler for strenuous activities like going to the gym, fighting in armour, and well...anyways. I have never smoked cigarettes. I HAVE been exposed t cigarette smoke since i was a kid since my father and many relatives smoked. I have been exposed to any number of environmental pollutants as well as breathing fine dust, being crop dusted, herbicided, pesticided, and exposed to unknown shit in the ground for 6 years as an archaeologist and formaldehyde for the 8 months I worked as an intern embalmer. I was also very fond of NHT for many years. So, did hookah hurt my lungs? Sure didn't help. Should you quit, up to you, but remember, everything in moderation.

dizzbizz Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Haha. You're fine Mush. I'd say smoke every other day just to make people be quiet or educate yourself of what you're actually inhaling so you can educate others so they wont see its comparable to cigarettes. I very well let everyone who questions hookah know exactly what I know is going on inside of that bowl of tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agunn1231 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 i smoked daily for a few years, been taking a break, I have found lately that i will take breaks then ease back into it. I still smoke dokha, but i am working on cutting that out since i quit smoking cigs. I used to be fond of NHT as well, so like dear mushrat said, everything in moderation. If you enjoy hookah then smoke, but if you need a break, stop for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 1. Yes, proper grammar would be nice, and make it much easier to read your posts. 2. Your addiction is probably more psychological and out of habit than an actual physical addiction (like people get with cigarettes). I smoke 2-3 times a week and feel no addiction to hookah tobacco (the only thing I smoke). In other words, it's all in your head man. You keep smoking so much because its become so routine. Find other things to do and other ways to occupy your time instead. 3. Move out and smoke like its no one's business if that's what you want to do. Is smoking hookah bad for you? Of course. Anything you smoke certainly isn't good for your body. If that's what you're concerned about then take a break, slim down how much you smoke, or quit altogether. I smoke because I enjoy it, and do so only a few times a week so I feel no negative effects from it. Things, when done in moderation, can be quite enjoyful. All the time, though? It becomes a hassle and you lose what was special about it in the first place. In my opinion, anyway. Tapatalk'd via iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavo21 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 i probably smoked more then most of these people on here daily, but i've taken a break because its not fair to erica (fiance), due to she is pregnant so i've promised to not smoke the last 3 months. its hard since we own a lounge lol. but i feel no different from when i was smoking 8+ hrs a day everyday for a couple years.
