Hookah (Water Pipe)

[shell]

Long time hookah user here. For those interested, hookahs don't burn or vape the tobacco, its a different process entirely. The tobacco is essentially "baked" by the coal. The coal heats up the entire bowl of the device until smoke is produced. If your leaves look charred on the top when you're done using your hookah, you're doing something wrong.

The only instance where the coal gets close to the leaves is when using zaghloul. This is an unflavored variation where the coal lies directly on the leaves with no tin foil or other filter.

But yeah, I'm really looking forward to the ehookah as well!

A local medical TV programme did an article on the dangers of the hookah, it's general public acceptance as harmless and it's growing usage, even by children with parental consent. I didn't find the article particularly well researched and somewhat sensationalised, but there's enough evidence to scare me off, I'll stick to my e-cigs.

The article: Carte Blanche > M-Net

One of their sources, the National Council Against Smoking: http://againstsmoking.co.za/pages/fa...water-pipe.php

The sheer level of ignorance these people show is amazing.

Burn the tobacco? Have they ever even seen a hookah?

You don't burn it, you warm it. The dangers with hookah come from the burning of the coals, not the warming of the tobacco. Bad science like this is everywhere and makes my blood boil. I won't trust anybody that can't even get their basic facts straight.

So there's no combustion involved?

Just like the e-cig, it's something that's never really been tested. Claims of health impact are worthless on both sides of the fence.

Uh....this isn't a "quit smoking chat"....it is an "other alternatives to smoking" chat.
