Have you ever smoked out of a hookah?

I have never done that, and it doesn't seem like something I'd do.

I'm horribly allergic to cigarette smoke so hookah's have scared me for that reason so I've never even been near one really and I'm content with that

Be aware that the toxins released from an equal amount of tobacco smoke are far, far higher then that in a cigarette or cigar and in countries where they use Hookah's, the incidence of oral and throat cancer are far higher in hookah users then in even heavy cigarette smokers.

Just trying to let you know that it pays to be informed of the risk before you choose to "enjoy" that device.

It worries me that 1. Anyone in this day and age is still looking for a means to smoke tobacco when we know the risks and outcomes and 2. People would choose a mechanism (Hookah) that is actually many more times the danger of a cigarette. It may look "cool", but the end results are anything but cool. Believe me, I see it all the time.

The data shows the second hand smoke and indeed the "first hand" smoke are at least as dangerous as cigarettes. However, newer data in Europe and India show Hookah smoke to be far more dangerous. You usually are putting out some good medical advice here, Travelnurse. This might be one worth looking up. I have to take a certain level of soap box time here, since I worry about peoples health and I personally see the after effects of choosing to smoke. I see it daily and it "ain't pretty".

Here is some authentic info and references to those fruity flavors. Yumm? I would call it something different. It pays to be informed, at least.

I have smoked out of a hookah before, I like it. I don't smoke anymore though, so I don't know if I'd do it now.

My boyfriend has one, and it's great! I can't wait to live together so that I can smoke out of it more often. It's really great for late-night chilling.

Whoops, meant to say I haven't tried it; I had heard of it. Doesn't seem extremely appealing or unappealing.

I'm not into smoking anything. There was a Hookah lounge here for a while, but it has since closed down.

I have been both to a hookah bar and have owned a hookah. It's a fun experience. Trying different flavors is rewarding and a good social distractor. Clean up and set up are kind of laborious, which is where the hookah bar comes in -- but be sure to check it out. A lot of the time, the bar is a money trap (and who can blame them). The ones around me are too much $$ and have poor atmosphere or service, or both.
