Is smoking hookah / shisha as bas as all the government FDA, medical forums and studies say it is? Or is it just another scare tactic to discourage younger people from smoking?
Every site I read, claims that it's potentialy worse or just as bad as smoking cigarettes. Some claim, one drag from the hookah is equivelant to an entire cigarette.
My shisha can is labeled to contain 0% Tar, 0.2% Nicotine, Honey & Flavor.
Personally, I smoke 2-3 bowls a day. Each bowl contains about 25-30g of tobacco, each session last around an hour, and never gets harsh or taste burnt. I religiously clean my egyptian made hookah after ever session which is not made with cheap chinese metals that rust or are coated with anything suspect. I use filtered, clean water, have diffusion glass stones to further help the filtration process, and use a glass tip hose with a heavy silicone hose. I also use "natural" coconut coils, that I heat up on an electric stove for at least 10 minutes till they are literally flaming and there is no black left on the coal, before I place them on my hookah. I taste absolutely no "coal flavor" throughout my entire session.
I never feel neasous, light headed, or ill.
I've smoked almost a pack of cigarettes over the course of 8 hours of partying and drinking, and have felt naesous and ill, dry throat, etc etc.
I find it hard to believe that smoking a bowl of hookah is like smoking a pack of cigarettes or multiple packs as some websites have stated, all government ran sites mind you.
I've been smoking hookah just about daily, maybe skipping a few days here and there for a few years now, I don't weeze, have a cough, struggle with cardio, have any flem, and my gums and teeth are healthy according to my dentist.
Does anyone have any input? or am I just in denial? lol.
