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. :P

My issue with it is that it's just another terribly unhealthy silly fad that can kill people. And I'm annoyed that some of my friends who would NEVER have taken up smoking cigarettes are now totally addicted to tobacco due to falling for the peer preasure of hookah. 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!" :/
