dangers of smoking hookah

Hookah smoke contains high levels of toxic compounds, including tar, carbon monoxide, heavy metals and cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens). In fact, hookah smokers are exposed to more carbon monoxide and smoke than are cigarette smokers. As with cigarette smoking, hookah smoking is linked to lung and oral cancers, heart disease, and other serious illnesses. Hookah smoking delivers about the same amount of nicotine as cigarette smoking, possibly leading to tobacco dependence.

Hi ladies I have a question, me and my hubby used to smoke hookah alot but ever since I found I was pregnant I obviously stopped, I am 34wks pregnant and my hubby recently started Smoking hookah again but the VAPORIZOR one, the one that you smoke out the pen.

m a fairly healthy guy who tends to stay away from anything related to smoking, vaping, etc. However, after a night of drinking, I was given a waterpipe/Hookah to use by a peer of mine. It was my first time, and without feeling pressured, I used it a few times throughout the night. Some puffs more heavier than others. Funnily enough, you would expect someone my age and who is very cautious of drugs to be more aware of what was inside these things.

Was at a friend's place a couple of weeks ago smoking hookah and without really thinking about it, noticed someone licking a tiny cut on his finger and then smoking out of the device along with the rest of us. I shrugged it off in the moment but now I'm doubting my judgment.

I'm against it. so no offence to anyone who thinks it's okay.

Nargila, as I know it, is a "Hookah" as sarah mentioned so I am confused as to what it is she is smoking. What I can suggest is that you speak with her and ask her directly what is going on. Maybe she will get honest with you. I hope she does.

Actually hookah is worse than cigges because you are smokin more than just tobacco your smoking ashes and to your inhaling nothing but the hookah when smoking a cigg you do blow it back out,. If anhaled ciggs deaply it causes a burning which hookah does not and it stays in your lungs. Which also is connected with your babys oxygen. But i kno what you mean one hit wont harm much for just a taste.

My roommate is 23 and this weekend she and a group of her friends went out and smoked hookah 2 days in a row. Today she has this barking cough and her breathing is so loud and it sounds... I don't know the best way I could describe it is: heavy? Like its taking effort to breath in and out. I know hookah isn't good for you, some (like myself) might even say bad for you, but could it cause croup in an adult?

I'm 33 weeks and on my first child. I smoke cigs regually and wondering if smoking the hookah which is Shisha would harm the baby??? Its legal and one time thing for a birthday party.

Did you share your hookah pipe with anyone else when you smoke? Sounds like you could have caught some sort of pulmonary infection. The overabundant phlegm is the result of your body trying to get rid of the irritants from the tobacco and possibly from whatever foreign bodies that has introduced into your body. Ask your friend if they are experiencing the same thing before. Also, i would recommend collecting a sputum sample and give it to your doctor for further examination.

Hi, yesterday I was smoking hookah in a restaurant, it’s always busy I was wating for half an hour to get a table, Before I smoke, the waiter brought the hookah and the pipe and the connector to the table, the pipe and the connector touched the table for around 2 minutes and then he puts the connector to the hookah and I start smoking, I am worried that’s the table is not clean and might have blood and touched the connector and I inhale the smoke from the connector with blood, it’s risky?

I agree with the above poster! My friend and I would go out for hookah but the doctor told me not to go because of the second hand smoke.

s clear and in small amount. Initially this problem started after I was out with a few friends smoked hookah. The hookah pipe was dirty and I remember spitting black stuff out from the pipe and then I stopped smoking. I don't smoke normally at all and even hookah once every 3 or 4 months. So I went to see a doctor. He did a chest x-ray and said that it was all normal. He then said I had strep throat and gave me AMOXICILLIN (antibiotic) and sent me away.

Thank you for your answer! I definitely am planing on quitting smoking completely, so now I have another great reason to do it.

And to be honest had no intention of smoking the hookah because the smell alone was making me sick. I was just curious.

Or do I have to wait I know this is a question for my doctor I don't see him till Friday and I'm just curious.
