I know there are other topics about smoking and what not, however, I wanted to talk specifically about hookah. If you have no idea what hookah is, look here.

Anyway, I've noticed that lately it seems to have become more popular (at least that I know of) and more people seem to be going to hookah bars and whatnot. Well, I just have some questions for you all.

Have you tried it?
Would you try it?
What are your thoughts about it?

Just basically have a discussion about here.

(by the way, I put this in health because it seemed other people put smoking topics in here, but if it should be moved to some place like The Lounge, please do so)

So yes, I tried hookah before. I don't really think it's all that great, it's more of just something to do. Plus it's interesting. I don't get a buzz or anything off of it. I've tried various flavored tabacco like strawberry, watermelon, and orange. I don't really think it's as bad for you when compared to smoking cigarrettes or weed. After all it is legal once you turn 18 and the effects of it are a lot less damaging, or so I've heard/read.

Have you tried it? Um, no, I'm 13.
Would you try it? Sure, why not?
What are your thoughts about it? I think if you exercise restraint and don't do it excessively, I think it's fine.

This is strange, I had heard about this not too long ago.. One of my friends that lives on campus was telling me about it between classes but didn't have time to really explain it, so I didn't know what it was called or really anything about it. Leave it to CB to tell me. :)

I don't think I'd ever try it. It's interesting, but not enough that I need to experience it. *shrug* Thanks for bringing this up, it was killing me, and now I know.

Have you tried it? yes
Would you try it? done it
What are your thoughts about it? it makes your room smells good lol.

Have you tried it? no i havent
Would you try it? yea i would im going to a lounge today .
What are your thoughts about it? i think it seems pretty safe rather then using a blunt or a bong .....not that i smoke because im a singer as well but since my friends back in my old town are inviting today i guess ill get going .........anyone reccomend any good flavors ?

LMAO i used one of those at a party one time

I've never smoked, and hope to never do so. Bleh.

While those waterpipes look awesome and it seems like there's less of a risk, I don't think I'd ever try hookah. There's probably more bad stuff about it that we'll find out about in 20 years or so. But one day I might just find that cool-lookin' gizmo too pretty to resist. ;]

It's a good deliverly system, but not the best. Vaporizer is king!

I don't smoke.

And this topic reminds me of White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane.

Hookah's really not harmful at all unless you're sitting there smoking it nonstop all day...

Have you tried it? No, but I've had many opportunities.
Would you try it? Maybe. It would depend on the situation.
What are your thoughts on it? I don't think it's that unhealthy, but don't break the law to smoke it. You have to be 18.

That's pretty big. Or is it just a close-up?

Have you tried it? Of course
Would you try it? Already have
What are your thoughts about it? Taste good.
:)

Hookah.
I don't really know my opinion about it.
Why am I replying?
Ughh. Anyone wanna help me try to understand me?

Look at the chairs in the background for an idea of scale. That thing is massive.

hmm; i've never tried it, and i dont think i would try it. At least not at this age. Maybe in the future like a 30% chance i'll try it just to see what its like. But i dont think my parents would really approve. If it does no harm to the body and its not illegal&its a way to help people relax without any negatives then it seems like its a interesting way to smoke

Whoa You're right. Jeez.

hmm i've never tried it before. lol. i've never even heard of it until today! haha sheesh i'm slow..ah well, i really don't think i'd be interested in trying it either...mm even though its "less damaging" i'm sure it's damaging in some way right? and i'm sure it would be as damaging if one was to continue to do so right? i don't know...bleeks...i just don't like the idea of that stuff going through my system

This reminds me of those flavored cigarettes I saw in an asianmart somewhere. I don't know what they're called though.

No haven't tried it. No, I wouldn't try it.. maybe sound interesting ever since i read christina's post. My thoughts... hmm.. it looks funny.

I have not tried it, no.
I was at a hookah bar just the other night. I think it was friday or saturday.
I dont really want to try it, cause I just... dont care? idk.
I dont really think anything of it. its w/e

yeah hookah is really big with my friends..they go almost every week ..kinda pressured me to try it...but i didnt do much.. im always the only girl w/ a bunch of guys hookahing >.< ..and were all underage when we go to the hookah bars...most of the ppl there are all nyu students..and theyre like..whats that lil asian girl doing here..hahaha

my friend...the hookah guru..it looks mad cool tho..

i've heard of it but never tried it.
i probably would. *shrug*

wow that looks pretty cool! i want one now lol. it looks pretty too, i could keep it in the corner of my room or something O_O.

that long hose keeps reminding me of a beer bong @_@

its a big thing now, like a social thing. whether its less damaging than smoking other things, its still smoking and its still bad for you in some way.

i've never tried it, but i might. im not particularly interested.
