What Are Your Smoking Habits?

[jskhosa]

This post is inspired by my recent post on definition of what "mild" smoking is. This is an attempt to see where I fall on the scale on heavy smoker to light smoke.

Average times a week: 2 times
Average length of session: 2 hours
How many hits per minute: 2


This is not a scentific experiment because as talked about in other posts because there are too many variables, it is more social experiment to see how often people smoke. Not really looking for toxicity of the smoking but the how often and length.

A hookah forum is not the best place for this survey, as many of us are heavier smokers which is sure to skew the results.

Average times a week: 7-10

Average length: 1.5-2 hours

Average times a week: 3

I'm a regular (non-hookah) pipe smoker, and I smoke all day every day (3-5 bowls) which last 30-45 minutes each. From this thread I am getting the impression that a hookah takes much longer to smoke, from 1-2 hours. If I start this habit than I will have to cut down on my pipe (sigh..)

You can smoke as little or as much as you want when it comes to hookah. Depends on several factors how long the bowl will go:

1. Size of the bowl- obviously a bowl that holds 15g isn't going to last as long as a bowl that holds 30g.
2. Your packing method- a proper pack allows a bowl to go longer.
3. Your heat management- with proper heat management, a bowl will go longer than, say, just throwing the coals on and hoping for the best (practice is what will make you a pro at this).

I'm probably missing a factor or two... Excuse me, I just woke up.

You can stop smoking at any time, of course. Not like you have to finish all of the tobacco. And you hardly ever will. I never do, anyway. I always have fresh un"burnt" tobacco left in the bottom of my bowl when I finish smoking. Only time I didn't I think was when I went 8 hours on my Tangiers Mini Phunnel (about 25-30g).

So yeah, it's up to you how long the bowl will go. Use a tiny bowl and smoke for 30 minutes, or use a bigger one and smoke for hours. This is one of the many reasons why folks often have a collection of different sized bowls.
