I really like hookah, even though I hate the smell of cigarettes and MJ. But even if it is worse than cigs, I only smoke hookah occasionally so I figure I'm in the clear. I bought a nargile pipe in Turkey over the summer. It is beautiful.

ORLANDO, Fla. --
It's become all the rage with University of Central Florida college students, but smoking a hookah may be more hazardous than cigarettes .

Most of them think smoking a hookah is much less of a threat to their health than smoking cigarettes, but the research is alarming. It turns out hookah smoking may be much worse.

Why not try some other quit smoking aids? Some maybe free. I recently found a good website: stop smoking aids

Ahh. I see said the blind man.

I never really made the connection because I never particularly liked or listened to Jefferson Airplane.

The book is better - It's where I learned "higher mathematics".

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

11 plus 3 = 2 in Mod 12. Just look at your clock if you don't believe me.

I have smoked hookah for over 6 years and I am in perfect healthy condition, I run 1-2 miles every morning and workout on a regular basis.

Hookah smoke does not contain any tar, tar is produced when tobacoo is burned, with hookah you're evaporating the shisha using the coals, not burning it.

They also make herbal shisha now too, such as Hydro brand. No tobacco, no problems!

I watched that bizarre " Moroccan Christmas" episode of " The Office" and knew they'd have Creed Bratton smoking a hookah, LOL.
