Is Shisha Bad For You ??

Question

some people say it is but i duno ???????????

Answer 1

i smoke it pretty often. its definantley not good for you just like eating McDonald's. it wont affect your lungs as much as cigarettes and some tobacco does not contain those chemicals contained in cigarettes. so it sits right there in the middle, it relaxes you and you don't take it in  like cigarettes.

Answer 2

Shisha isn't bad for you.It's not as risky as smoking cigarettes. My dad has been smoking for the last 20 years and he doesn't have any heart disease or he never actually had a stroke. The water in the shisha absorbs the nicotine in the tobacco smoke thus making it less harmful, but it is very addictive.

Answer 5

I answered this question a couple of hours ago but Yahoo answers were having yet another annoying coffee break, so I could not submit it.

The answer is very easy, it depends on what you put in it and whether you inhale or not.

I gave up smoking cigarettes about 40 years ago, but I can smoke a couple of cigars a year without having the need to get back into the habit, I inhale very little.

Last year I went to Egypt on holiday and tried one, after ensuring it was nicotine free and not too strong (It was apple flavoured), I enjoyed it very much and had one most mornings in a cafe.

I brought one home as a souvenir and only smoke it now and again, I don't inhale and use the same nicotine free flavoured tobacco, so it does me no harm.

It would only be unsafe if you used regular pipe tobacco or other 'dodgy' substances and inhaled, while I agree on the ban on smoking in public places, pubs and restaurants etc. I think it's a travesty of justice that Shisha cafes are included, because everyone who goes there does so just to smoke.

Answer 7

any thing smoking is not good.  

Answer 8

first of all...nice picture (hot)!! lol ;)

shisha is similar to smoking, so it has to be done in moderation, dont think its harmful if you only do it every now and then...also with the shisha, the smoke actually gets filtered through the water so it has reduced amount of particles but again, you do inhale far more smoke from a shisha than from a single cigarette

yalla caios

Answer 9

Well of course, it is tobacco after all. No tobacco is good for you.

But, it is a lot better than cigarettes or cigars because it has a low tar percentage  

Answer 10

my dad does it and it makes him cough some im assuming it is bad for the lungs

Answer 11

its really bad for you :).. espicially that some of its igredients are still unknown. I smoke 2 heads a day on average. I play loads of sports. Research shows that the effects are on the long term and equate one head to a 10 cigarretes on nicotine level bla bla bla.

With all the coal and tobacco and lack of oxygen to the brain which gives a light headed feeling its logical to be unhealthy.

Lemon mint

grapes mint

strawberry in ramadan

and saloom when you are low on cash in a cafe :)

stay healthy

Answer 12

Yeah its terrible. Each puff is equivalent to 5 cigarettes.

Answer 13

Smoking any organic material releases harmful chemicals that you then inhale. The risks would depend on what you are putting in the pipe. It is used for a mixture of fruit flavoured tobacco, giving you the risks of emphysema, heart disease and cancer. Sometimes cannabis is added, this increases the lung cancer risk by a factor of 6 and also adds in the risk of psychotic mental disease and brain atrophy.
