Sheeshah/Hookah/Waterpipe???
OP - December 20, 2009, 12:03 AM

So this shit sounds attractive, and apparently it is more acceptable socially than cigs, probably due to better smell(Apple flavor, Grapes flavor, etc. they smell good ) . And it is used very commonly in my home country (where I am at the moment for Christmas break) and no fear of being called a Kaffir or anything of that sort.

Bottom line, anybody smoking it? How good is it? What 'effects' you get from it?
And what I am more concerned about is the health risks. How do they compare to cigs in terms of health risks? And how much is too much? And how much is within the safety zone? Once a week?? Every two weeks??

I have been kinda 'breaking free' lately, and I don't want to break free too much. So advice would be appreciated.

That stuffs worse then cigs for you (there's a lot of bull around that it's no where as bad as cigs so be wary of where you get your info from). If you're only smoking once/twice a week you'll be fine. It's when you start smoking many times a day that you have to start worrying.

I've tried it a few times, tastes quite nice.

An Egyptian friend of mine used to have one of those things and smoked this tobacco that was soaked in molasses. No way can you tell me that stuff was healthier than cigs. Talk about tar.

I saw an editorial the other day on a study from the american university in Beirut. On how a shisha is much worse than a cigarette. I read further and it turned out the shisha is worse than 3 cigarattes!!

It takes me 1 to 2 hours to smoke something that is as bad as 3 cigarettes and that is bad? Go talk to people who smoke 5-10 cigarettes a day. A pack a day. Packs a day.

I think the cigarette industry is trying really hard to vilify shishas and they keep coming up with a 'study from the middle east' every couple years.

Don't smoke it when you have 2 bottles of white wine going around in your head....

I thought that is what you have to do before smoking it?

After 2 bottles of white wine? I started smoking it after that, I remember nothing. I ended up waking up in a place I don't remember going to...
