Is smoking hookah really bad for you?

a friend of mine is trying to tell me that hookah is worse than cigarettes. i really dont believe this. i love going to the hookah bars around where i live, and i know one of them actually has stuff that does not contain tobacco so they say its not a health hazard. does anyone know anything about this? i understand that inhaling anything is not GOOD for you, i just want to know if it can seriously effect someones health.

(a) I’m sure you already know this.. but ANY kind of smoking is bad for you. period. i dont care what anybody says. smoking is just bad.

(b) But, hookah IS NOT worse than cigs. here’s why.

Hookah:
–hookahs use shisha. shisha strictly consists of (1) tobacco (2) glycerin/molasses/honey (3) and flavoring. thats it.
–the smoke is filtered out by the water in the base.
–Not addicting
–contains to tar (unless you burn the hell out of it) and only .05% nicotine.

Cigs:
–Cigs use tobacco
–Cigs literally have 599 additives including arsenic and ammonia.

–Plus the burning paper.
-Addicting
-Creates tar and has 30% nicotine

I think it’s obvious which one is more harmful.

(c) Although, if a hookah lounge says that they aren’t useing tobacco in their hookahs, then they’re probably using Herbal Shisha… which is weird for a hookah lounge. Herbal shisha uses sugar cane and flavoring. and acutally, thats not too healthy either.

But, i will say that i LOVE smoking (hookah). i have 3 hookahs myself and i really can’t get enough :] but i DO know that it’s not healthy in any way shape or form… and on the other hand i know that it’s waay healthier than cigs. But yeah, if you wanna smoke 8 times a day on a daily basis then yeah, it’s gonna be not-so-good. lol. obviously. I’ll prolly 3 times a week tops.. or once every 2-3 weeks at the least.

But hey, have fun with it, i know i do.
Happy Smoking! :]

E-Cigarettes – Smoke Anywhere

E-cigarettes are the latest hi tech device for nicotine users who either hope to give up smoking altogether, or simply wish for a healthy substitute to the customary tobacco cigarette. E-cigarettes offer the smoker the look, the taste and the feel of a real cigarette without the toxic risks of smoking. It is also worth mentioning that not all these e-cigarettes are created equal. E-cigarettes such as Green Smoke have manufactured an electric cigarette that comes in a two-piece design that allows for the user to replace the atomizer on a regular basis.

If you have not tried the E-cigarette yet, I think you will be elated at how perfectly it mimics the tobacco cigarette. There is a battery operated system that is easily recharged using either a wall outlet or a USB device so that you can plug it into your computer. The Green Smoke cigarette is a two-piece unit. One part the rechargeable battery, and the other section being being the atomizer. The atomizer is the piece that makes a vapor and delivers nicotine to the smoker. Once the atomizer runs out of nicotine, it is simply replaced with a new one.

Green Smoke e-cigarettes offer two solutions to smokers. It offers the smoker the opportunity to eliminate the thousands of toxins that are introduced to the body everyday through traditional cigarettes. It also offers smokers the opportunity to give up cigarettes for good. With Green Smoke e-cigarettes offering nicotine cartridges in different strengths, a smoker can choose to lower their daily intake of nicotine, allowing them to give up their habit.
Just imagine being able to smoke without subjecting your body to all the risks related with tobacco. With cigarettes containing up to 4000 toxic chemical ingredients, it is no wonder that so many people pass away each year from smoking related disorders. Smokers are not the only ones that are harmed by these chemicals. The risk of second hand smoke is said to cause around 3000 deaths per year. Switching from the traditional tobacco cigarette to a Green Smoke e-cigarette will Without a doubt get rid of the guilt one might feel smoking around others.

With e-cigarettes, smokers now have a smoking alternative that they can turn to to either eliminate the hazards of cancers caused by the chemicals found in tobacco cigarettes, or to help them quit smoking altogether. With the ability of being able to use e-cigarettes anywhere, you can avoid the nicotine withdrawal that you would normally have to deal with when you’re out in public.

With the cost of cigarettes these days you will be happy to know that the Green Smoke e-cigarettes are considerably cheaper to smoke then the traditional cigarettes.
Green Smoke e-cigarettes are also handy for those times when you are out in a public place and are not able to light up a cigarette. Because e-cigarettes are non-toxic and do not emit the odors associated with a traditional cigarette, you are able to use it anywhere. You don’t have to worry about carrying a lighter, or whether or not there is an ashtray nearby to put out your cigarette.

Should they raise the cigarette tax more so kids stop smoking?

If the cigarette prices are high enough, people will have no choice but to stop buying them and buy things they actually need like food and clothing. Im sick of these stinky, filthy littering fire hazard smokers! They should raise the cigarette prices to $100 a pack. Its POISON for me to have to breath that smoke!

Well then perhaps they should raise the price of all non-necessities to the point of no one being able to buy them? I’m sure you enjoy some non-essentials in life too that other people would consider to be a bad choice. It’s not your place to decide if someone can/should smoke or not. If you don’t want to breathe it then don’t be around it, that is your choice. The prices are already outrageous. Be honest this has nothing to do with not having kids smoking, if kids want to smoke they will find a way even if it’s through stealing, you just want to make smoking impossible because you’re against it. Don’t try to disguise it as caring for kids.

I’m not a smoker, in fact, I’m an asthmatic. I hate cigarette smoke because it is one of my biggest asthma triggers. I live in a house with a smoker, I would love for him to stop, but the decision is his alone to make. I won’t tell a smoker he can’t smoke or support higher prices on cigarettes because I don’t want higher prices on things that I like but don’t “need”. It is not the governments job to tell people whether or not they can smoke. People like you are the reason we are losing our freedom a little bit more every day.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge…
