you know what hooka is, dont you? - Help.com

i just hooka’d for the first time last night, its the greatest thing ever haha :)
and its a lot better for you than smoking a cigarrette or cigar because the tobacco used for hooka is only ten percent tobacco, with the other ninety being the hooka flavoring. so in terms of tobacco content it is much better than anything you would smoke. plus because its through a bong time thing, with water going into the smoke, it is a lot lessing damaging on your lungs because its so much less harsh than regular smoking. plus, dude you feel so good after a hooka, am i right? haha

i know dude and you appreciate food the way you do after you do weed but you can deal with parents because you arent high and you dont reek at all because it smells and tastes so good haha. i just hate lighting the coals on fire, that was little sketch ahaa

yeah dude its all good, better for you than most things of that nature. like once a week or even less often wont hurt you, just be smart

sorry to ask you guys, but would you mind helping me with my post? even if you cant, thanks so much :)

Sorry but hooka is NOT a lot safer than cigarettes by any means.

There is a lot of misinformation going around and it’s important to find out the facts from reputable sources.

You could read a few of these articles and see what the score is:

http://media.www.pacepress.org/media/…

http://www.health.harvard.edu/press_r…

i read those articles, but essentially what is saying is if you do it wrong, it is worse for you, not that it is worse for you.

you mean if you don’t inhale deeply?

yeah, if you inhale to deeply, or take it into your lungs it is bad for you. and i did see the part about potentially causing diseases and cancer, but you would have to do hooka on a very regular basis and do a lot of it in those sittings to be in danger. plus like i said earlier, hooka has a much lower level of tobacco than any cigarette or cigar. a half hour sitting on a hooka and you have inhaled ten percent of the tobacco in a cigarette. my friend did a lot of research before he bought his hooka and told me this and then i tried it. hooka like anything else is safe if used properly but dangerous if not used properly

Well, I don’t see anywhere in that first article where it says there is a safe way…

I’m sure the WHO and medics would want to tell us if there was!

Personally, I trust the scientists, doctors and researchers more than I would someone who is setting out to buy a hooka..

Precisely.. which is why I present the “other side of the coin”.

Because there is no guarantee that what anyone says is correct, it’s important that the poster researches properly and thoroughly and makes up his mind based on extensive reading and not what individuals tell him.

experienced in hooka smoking or experienced doctors and scientists?

there was a question like this on the radio and the “scientist” said : it is bad for your health but
1. the smoke goes through the water before it gets to your lungs so some of the toxins get removed by the water.
3. Something about how you burn it, i forgot what he said
