It's pretty nice. Tastes and smells much better than most other types of smoking to me. I could see doing it on occasion if I had one, but I see it more as a social thing than anything else, like alcohol. We're ingesting the same foreign substance, yey~
I hear it's supposed to be much worse than cigarettes since you smoke so much. Or something like that. :|Quote:

the act of smoking is not good for your lung tissue. that's all.
No one is arguing it's good for you. >:[
Well, someone's friend up above claimed it "wasn't bad for you" and the culture that started it (Turkey, right?) claims it's GOOD for your health. :PQuote:

If you smoke any kind of tobacco and claim you're not addicted, you're fooling yourself.
The whole "but it's a social thing" rational annoys me. If all of your friends turned into emo dbags (god forbid) and got together to sit in a circle and cut their wrists together, I'd hope you'd have enough will to not cave in and sit yourself down to enjoy the social fun of blood letting. :/ "But it feels so good!" "But we just all like to sit on a couch and cut our wrists and laugh!" "It won't hurt me!" "It's good for your health!" :/
Eh, I smoked cigs when my friends smoked them back in college. I also hookahed a bunch of times. I've never once had a craving or bought a pack of cigarettes though. For me, it's purely if some friends want to hang out and chill and smoke hookah and drink beer, I'll join in. But I really can't stand the taste of cigarettes now and don't know how I ever smoked them before :yuck:
Straight edge people are boring though.
I don't smoke, nor have I done the hookah. My brother once owned one though, so I've been around it before. Not something I want to get into though. I hear its more dangerous than plain smoking though, so I intend to keep on doing what I do and not smoke the hookah.
This is wrong.Quote:

Nicotine is a powerfully addicting drug, but it's not infinitely addictive. You're welcome to hate it and proselytize against it, but you shouldn't spread lies, especially when you were just getting your panties in a wad about the misconceptions other people have about tobacco products.
k? k.
I've been curious to try, but I honestly don't like smoking too much at all, even the special herb from a classy pipe or a glass one. I just prefer to use a vape at all times. It's smoother and it doesn't bother my lungs. That's just me though and my preferences. I have delicate wee lungs.
I mostly want to try hookah for the taste.
So I think it's officially a tradition now that anytime Justy makes a thread I have to reply saying that I have never experienced what is being discussed in the original post.
Want to go do some drugs then?Quote:
