wow I'm offended and highly annoyed... this is what i love about people who try and pull out facts about hookah let me quote you from your own misguided post

"A typical one-hour hookah session involves inhaling 100 to 200 times the volume of smoke inhaled from a single cigarette. That's according to studies cited by the CDC."

you are comparing "ONE HOUR" against "ONE CIGARETTE". that is in NO WAY a controlled test... obviously youre going to get more smoke from that cause you are smoking more tobacco.. thats just one thing from that quote that is misleading

if you take a liter of smoke from a cigarette and a liter from hookah, you will see that there is FAR less toxins in the hookah smoke.
shisha (the name of the tobacco for hookah) has no extra additives its just the plant and a flavored molasses. most brands of shisha wash their tobacco which lowers the content of nicotine. the average cigarette has 5% nicotine in it, the average  hookah has .05% which is a HUGE difference.

on top of all that there is no chemical additives to typical shisha unlike cigarettes that have a list of over 500 additives

the average smoker smokes a pack a day, the average hookah smoker doesnt even smoke every day. someone like me that is an above average hookah smoker will smoke an hour a day, rarely do people smoke more than that a day.


dear WTHR news... get your facts straight before you post an article... oh thats right, facts are something from the past when news companies were actually respectful.

hookah or bar?

there is something about just sitting in the hookah bar with friends. im 26 years old but im not a drinker and generally drunks annoy the shit out of me so i see no problems with hanging out here.

a lot of people give me shit cause 18 year olds hang here but when i started comin here everyone was over 21 and over the years we have gotten some younger people but only if they are actually entertaining to hang with.

im sorry for all of you people over 21 that think its so great to go to a bar and drink all night, but i dont care for that. bars are crowded with annoying stupid people who are drunk as fuck and all think they are amazing... i can go get drinks at the store for way cheaper and a lot less hassle.

now youre gonna say that everyone that goes to the hookah bar is immature, but have you really looked at yourself when you are drunk... yeah i might have someone that is 18 at my table that acts 18.... but at least im not with someone 30 acting like 15 when drunk..

now im not saying drinking is bad or wrong cause i myself drink but that doesnt change the fact you really have no standpoint in telling me where i should hang out.... you like to get drunk i like to sit around playing cards, cracking jokes, and smoking a hookah...

by the way i am at the Egyptian right now smoking a hookah hanging with friend with multiple topics to talk about...

so yeah go get drunk and i will sit and smoke...
