Smoking hookah {10pts}?

Question

One of my good friends wanted me ta smoke hookah today...somebody give me some info on it..like what it does...what its like? sideeffects..

have u ever tried it?

Answer 1

I got my own hookah at home. The flavors are wonderful, especially apple-mint, lemon and peach. I like to smoke it at home because after a while you really feel like you want to lie back... Its really relaxing. Some people might get a headache from smoking it, so make sure you have some panadol on you just in case.

To make the hookah taste smoother, try putting any lemon soft drink (sprite, 7up, etc) or even lemonade instead of the water at the bottom. However, this only tastes good with fruity flavors, so don't try that if you're smoking cappuccino or vanilla flavored tobacco.

Answer 2

What follows are the conculusion of  a hookah study (also called the "argileh" in the study.........

the most important point is that the tar received in a single session is equal to 20 "low"  tar cigarettes..............!!!!

The hookah is not filtered (the water is not a filter) and that is why there is the direct effect.......

do a google search for more info...............you might want to share the info with your 'friends'.............

4. Discussion

This study was undertaken to address the dearth of

information regarding the composition of argileh smoke

and to highlight methods and directions for further

investigation. A smoking machine was designed and

smoke from an argileh fueled with charcoal and loaded

with 10 g of mo’assel tobacco mixture was generated

using puffing parameters selected to approximate those

of argileh smokers. The importance of the argileh water

was tested by including a condition where no water was

present in the bowl. Limitations of the study include the

potential that the puffing parameters may not be representative

of argileh smokers and the possibility that

varying the charcoal application schedule may influence

the results.

The results are summarized in Table 4. While the

nicotine produced in a standard smoking session is of

similar magnitude to what would be found in a single

cigarette, the NFDPM is one to two orders of magnitude

greater; that is, a single standard argileh smoking

session produces as much ‘‘tar’’ as 20 low-tar cigarettes.

This interpretation, however, must taken with caution,

as the composition of the NFDPM is likely to be quite

different than that for cigarette smoke. Considering that

the maximum temperatures found in the argileh head

are approximately 450
C, which is too low to sustain

combustion, and considerably lower than maximum

temperatures of circa 900
C found in cigarettes

(Wakeham, 1972), it would be expected that a larger

fraction of the smoke condensates of the argileh are

produced by simple distillation rather than by pyrolysis

and combustion, and as a result, would tend to carry

considerably less of the pyrosynthesized compounds

found in cigarette smoke. Studies of tobacco pyrolysis

condensates have demonstrated that tumorigenicity

(Wynder et al., 1958) and mutagenicity (White et al.,

2001) increase with pyrolysis temperature.

Answer 3

most likely if someone is askin u to smoke a hookah with them it aint no tobacco. either way try it out its relaxing either way you go

Answer 4

well its not a drug so dont worry about any crazy side effects.

keep alot of water near by if its your first time can make you pretty thirsty.  way smother then cigars or cigs. comes ina variety of flavors alot of people like double apple, kinda gives off the spearment/menthol taste. if you decide to smoke out of a hooka smoke and chill the best way to enjoy a hooka.

Answer 5

yeah i done it...it's fine i mean it's got the same effects as cigarrets...it won't smell as bad though...dont' do it in high amounts tho...

Answer 6

are you just using it for hookah tobacco? If so, it's not too bad. A lot of it is flavored, and it's much purer than cigarette tobacco. I got really light headed when I smoked it.

If you're using it for weed, you'll get a nice buzz, but you'll probably cough your butt off!

Answer 7

headaches! it taste good thought. Just dont make it a everyday thing!
