YES! There's a very common myth going around that smoking a hookah is safer than smoking cigarettes because the smoke is filtered through water first. But this is NOT TRUE. The reality is that you inhale a lot more smoke when you smoke a hookah than when you smoke cigs/weed. A recent study by the World Health Organization found that a one-hour hookah session (a common session length) exposes you to 100-200 TIMES the smoke as smoking a cigarette or joint. That means 100-200 times the impurities, tar, nicotine, and other toxic stuff.

Smoking a hookah is actually WORSE for you than smoking a cigarette or joint. They're all bad, though (there's also a myth that smoking marijuana is safer than smoking cigarettes -- this is NOT TRUE EITHER). Don't be an idiot and avoid all three!

No.
It has less tar.
And it is fruity goodness.....or so I've heard

lol.... are you on drugs because i will report you

cigarettes are worse then weed. and what the hell is "hookah"?

yeah, but it doesnt stop it from being awesome

its better than smoking cigs and weed, the worst part of it, are the quick light coals, they produce a lot of carbon monoxide, which is bad.

inhaling anything into your lungs that was not ordered by a doctor is bad for your lungs. They are designed to provide your body with oxygen, nothing else.

Yeah actually it is bad it fookahs up your lungs like no other

it tastes delicious (especially the turkish strawberry tobbaco) but it's probably just as bad.

its tobacco? is that bad for your health? yes. But indeed there are hooka bars out there that offer herbal alternatives to people who are worried about health, which include tobacco-free and nicotine-free.

you should try one of these alternatives if you are worried about your health, same taste and fun, but your being straight edge instead mate.

yessss it is unfiltered smoke with carcinogens.
Anything you breathe into your lung as smoke is harmful and really stupid. New studies out find that joints are several times more carcinogenic than cigs. Due to different concentrations of toxins and no filters.
So, if you do not wish to poison yourself and PAY MONEY to poison yourself, then avoid hookah.
It's like, why not breathe in DDT or lead? Cuz it is so cool.
