Blue Lantern Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Put it this way... smoking anything is not good for your health or lungs. That said... hookah smoking is not a "healthy" habit. It's probably still as bad as say a person smoking cigarettes for the same duration of time as the hookah smoker and what not but user's often do it with less frequency than cigarette smokers.

gumonshoe Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Well its certainly not good for you, but it is nowhere as bad for you as smoking cigarettes since they contain other carcinogens and other bad things.

Skimo Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Yeah smoking isn't a healthy habit and it's a major concern for you, you probably shouldn't smoke then lol. Everything has it's pros and cons though and im willing to say the good things that come from smoking hookah over power the health issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanguineSolitude Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 yeah hookah smoking is better for you than cigarette smoking. and huffing paint is better for you than huffing arsenic. stop trying to compare bad things as though the defense is valid. either you are okay with smoking and the possible health risks or youre not. is this like a choice between starting smoking cigarettes or starting smoking hookah? if you wanna rate those on danger scales maybe ciggs is 5 and hookah is 3-4. so maybe in that instance you might choose hookah. but if its hookah or nothing and youre trying to make a choice based on health then thats either a danger scale of 0 (not smoking) or 3-4. if you are trying to avoid health risks entirely then dont smoke. if you enjoy it and find it worth the risk then smoke. why are there so many of these stupid freakin thread.

Sonthert Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Because of the shitty propaganda they've been paying for out of smoker's pockets and shoving down their throats for years. Leave us alone! We're just smoking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcartman Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Eric, thats what I say too. But then I know that in real life smoking = killing myself slowly. Thus, all I say is: Leave us alone, we're just killing ourselves slowly. But i see no reason for anyone to interfere with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
