Comeon if you are in your teen years you will be lying if you don’t admit that you taken hookah or atleast had the thought of taking it…This is an article I read in a magazine. And here are somethings you foolish youngsters out there may not realize including foolish me
THE WORKINGS OF A HOOKAH
Hookah orginated in India and not the middle east for you info..and hookah flavours were introduced to attract more women to the habbit..So the workings of a hookah are very simple. Unlike a cigarette, in a hookah you do not inhale the tobacco directly. Basically the flavoured tobacco is seperated from the charcoalby a screen. When you inhale, the smoke from the heated charcoal passes through the tobacco gets filtered by the water and then pops out of your pipe and charcoal passed through the tobacco gets filtered by the water and then pops out of your pipe and mouth piece so that you can mke ringlets out of it to impress your friends. Now people believe that since the contact with tobacco is indirect there are no ill-effects and after you read what I have to say, you’ll realise that your life will go up in smokes if you don’t control your intakes.
WHAT DOES THE WATER FILTER OUT ZIZACKLY??
Regular hookah lovers believe that the water in the hookah filters all the bad stuff out. Which just goess to show that people will believe anything these days. Water is is prrimarily used to cool the smoke. It may filter out some stuff like the tar from the coal, but it keeps most of the nicotine/particulates intact.
SO LETS FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH A HOOKAH
A cigarette last for what 4mins?? A hookah however goes on like an energizer. On an average a hookah is consumed for two hours atleast. That is equivalent to smoking 30 cigarretes. If you dumb that down it still comes up to 20 cigarretes. Which is still acceptable if you are a chain smoker right?? Now for some myth busting. WHO advisory claims that a typical one hour session of hookah smoking exposes the user to 100 to 200 times the volume of smoke inhaled from a single cigarrete. Therefore one hour of hookah = 100 cigarettes.
How one cigarette reduces your life span by 7mins
Therefore,
100 cigarettes = 700minutes = 11 hours
Therefore,
One hour of hookah = 11 hours of your life.
Nicotine is addictive so do the math. It is quite possible to get hooked to hookah, never to be hooked again while the nicotine does its job of giving you cancer. And sharing a hookah mout piece can give you herpes..
Apart from nicotine, hookah smoke also contains high levels of carbon monoxide and the remainder of the tar that the water is unable to filter. According to wikipedia, “twenty two of twenty five cases of lung cancer in a study in India were among those who were regular hookah users.” Dude that’s just scary man, carbon monoxide is toxic to the human body whereas tar can put you at greater risk for heart disease.!!!
APART FOR ALL THAT A HOOKAH INCREASES THE RISK FOR:
-Cancer of the lung, mouth and larynx.
- Impotence….yes yes. You know whats keeping you boys down..!!
- Cardiovascular diseases.
It is safe to assume that smoking hookah is as bad as smoking cigarettes. If anything its even worst! Also there have been no formal studies conducted regarding the harmfull effects of inhaling the flavours that are used to make your hookah that extra yummy. So if you know whats good for you, you will limit your huffing and puffing to rare social situations or better still avoid it completely, for a hookah is not as safe as you think.
