Altron Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 So a bunch of friends have constantly asked me why I smoke shisha instead of other tobacco. Now I must say especially now because I smoke cigs almost on a daily basis that I can get a better buzz off them sometimes, but sometimes the flavor may not be that good (rat posion ) But I miss the amounts of smoke and the whole experience of passing the hose around and chatting.Your Thoughts?What do you love about hookah? The Shisha? The Hookah itself? The Smoke? The Buzz? The experience as a whole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownZero Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I enjoy every part of it except maybe the setting up.. hah. But yeah, I enjoy the flavors, the social aspect, relaxation and the fact that you can smoke all day and not smell like crap and taste crap. (unlike cigs) Oh and the amounts of smoke you can get with hookah, FUN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke69 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 My favourite part is playing with the smoke and experimenting. I really like that you dont smell or taste bad after, in fact you usually smell good. And i love the excitement of getting some new shisha and trying to for the first time.

jordanneff Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I agree on the community and social aspect as well, smoking alone just isn't the same :/ But the flavors and playing with the smoke is fun too, and lets not forget how wonderful everything smells after a good smoke (including you!) unlike stinky old cigs... (sorry cig smokers, but you know it's true haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angemonkwj Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 i gotta agree about the community also. this is the only grp of people i've found that even if they get into heated arguments like can sometimes happen in the serious section, there still cool with each other and respect each others believes and ideas. i also like how relaxing it is, different flavors, ways to smoke....etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roninjinn Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Yeah, Hookah is all about the social aspect for me. I also enjoy the fact that it really calms my nerves. After a long week of work, going out to my local hookah lounge has proven to be the most relaxing activity I can take part in.Also, the hookah conversations are always great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azcoyote Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Where to start? I like all the things everyone else mentioned. I like that I can smoke inside without a lingering stale tobacco smell on everything. I like that it doesn't change the taste of food as much. Want to say it's economical, but I've spent a small fortune on my hoard of shisha etc. I like that you can end a session by snuffing out the coals and start again with new coals without any change in quality. It's so relaxing! More so than any other tobacco product in my opinion. And you can get really fucked up if you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I love the preparation and everything that goes into making a good smoke, the neverending wallet-emptying quest for more favorite flavors and new equipment, and tinkering with all things hookah-related. It's also pretty awesome to be active in the hookah community at this time when it's really taking off -- we're seeing all sorts of innovations rapidly bringing about the evolution of contraption that has remained relatively unchanged for however long it's been around. Gotta wonder what hookah smoking will be like in 10-20 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I think was i like about smoking hookah the most is just appreciating everything about the experience. From packing a perfect bowl and getting it prepared to the good times with friends just sitting around sharing stories and what not. On another note I can't stand people that are impatient when it comes to smoking the hookah, I feel everything to do with the hookah says chill, no hurries. Unfortunately I have friends that don't see it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altron Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 after getting my second hookah with two hoses everyone now looks at hookah in a different light. With the warm weather, hopefully it will bring some awareness to my town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
