Just How Dangerous is Hookah?

[FreeThinking]

<p>Hookah tobacco contains .05% nicotine and 0mg tar for most popular brands, there are also non tobacco (MUCH MUCH worse for you) and a porous rock like substrate that just vaporizes the flavored glycrin&Honey mix in thick dense plumes ( think fog machines effect)</p>

<p>I would go just to find out what’s going on in the back room …</p>

Haha, I love it when people think it’s <em>bad</em> to smoke. Smoke gets into the lungs and kills the weaker lung cells, leaving a population that is on average stronger. These stronger cells divide and replenish the dead, making your lungs stronger overall. It’s basic natural selection. The only problem is when you smoke too much, like past the age of 35. Then the strong cells are too overpowered and divide too much, leading to lung cancer. Theyve done studies that proves all this.

<p>This strongly reminds me of the student who used to post on CC in favor of binge drinking, saying that it could be controlled. Unfortunately, he stopped posting because he died on alcohol posoning one weekend.</p>

<p>The average hookah session is equivalent to smoking 100 cigarettes! According to a study by the World Health Organization </p>
