Smoking a hookah?!?!
Question: i smoked a hookah for the first time. I have never smoked anything in my life, just to let you know. so i figured out that i am smoking flavored tobacco but its diluted in the water. 1 hour of smoking it at a fast pace is equal to 3/4 of a cigarette. if you do it every once in a while like once a week or something do you think its really really harmful? I mean, tanning is bad, smoking is bad, eating certain foods is bad. I get 2nd hand smoke, sop how bad can it be?

Well as long as you keep it in moderation, nothing will kill you. But, like I mentioned, you need to keep it in moderation. Smoking hookah in the long run may cause health issues. I do not necessarily recommend doing it everyday. On the other hand, if you do it only once in a while (i.e. once a week), you should be fine. The water acts as a filter, however, not all harmful toxins will be removed. If you are worried about the health affects, there are hookah smoke filters available too. Check out the source below, they sell filters.
As long as you keep it in moderation, you should be fine. Enjoy this cultural experience, just don't get carried away!
ANY TYPE OF SMOKING IZ BAD DONT DO IT OR YULL DIE!!
What is the point on smoking tobaco from a hookah?
anything other than air going into your lungs is bad. Is it really that enjoyable to be worth the risk?
its not bad for you, well if you keep smokignt he flavored tabaco then it is just as bad as cigs, just stick with weed, becasue everythign else is harmfull, weed justmakes u cool, and chill. : ) not to mention when u sart smoking tabaco, u have risk of alot of things not good! lol
Ofcourse it's harmful. You're putting all kinds of unwanted chemicals and carcinogens into your body. It's not as harmful as smoking a cigarette or cigarettes everyday. Nicotine is addictive and you're starting at a very low pace, but eventually you can start to want more and more. Smoking is also unattractive so you choose if you want to add another harmful habit on top of bad eating habits, tanning, and 2nd hand smoke.
Smoke is smoke Fancy filters (like a hookah) don't change that.
Harm depends on dose - small dose, small amount of harm or chance of harm; big dose, big amount or chance of harm.
Nothing is safe, but the chance of harm from smoke is higher than the chance of harm from basil (carcinogenic essential oils), peanuts (carciongenic when aflatoxins are present) , or mushrooms (carcinogenic because of natural hydrazine).
Don't believe that "1hr = 3/4 cig", unless you have strong science behind that claim - which I doubt. Do evaluate your risks vs. rewards. Sex is dangerous but fun, so is skydiving, so are lots of other things. Your life has some total pile of life-threatening risks already. Is the enjoyment worth the risk?
I quit smoking long ago, but I never tell anyone to quit. You choose.
"1 hour of smoking it at a fast pace is equal to 3/4 of a cigarette."
^Now I'm pretty sure that isn't true. 1 hour of straight shisha smoking would be worse than 3/4 of a cig.
But either way, just try to keep it to a minimum. I think as long as your doing it only once a week don't worry about it too much. Just try not to start up on cigs, I have a lot of friends who are addicted and it neither looks fun or easy to quit.
Hi,
why would you use a hookah?
and if it's only once a week, why bother?
it's your body, and if you want to add to your unhealthiness, that's your deal.
of course it's not good for you, and that pace you mentioned sounds incredible. i mean, the worst chain smokers smoke 3 cigarettes an hour or so.
the hookah filters some bad stuff out, but your lungs are still suffering the effects of the heated unhealthy smoke.
best not to even bother.
don't do it
