hookah tobacco

is hookah tobacco the same exact tobacco as cigarettes( with all the nasty chemicals in it that cigs have) besides the molasses or sugar in the hookah tobacco?

I dont think so... its much wider cut and im sure its of a higher quality, cigarette tobacco is probably the worst tobacco out there...

Pardon my stpidity, but what is Hookah Tabacky?

idk if thats wat its called old stoner but im talking about tobacco you put in hookah pipes

o ya, shisha is what its called lol

I gotcha! I'm 50 going on 13, been away for 20 years (growin' kids, ya know), and I'm learning all kinds of new stuff, LOL. Overlook my stupidity, please, LOL...

Peace,

Old Stoner!

some studies show that one session of smoking hookah (about an hour) is about as harmful as smoking a pack of cigarettes. this hookah talk is making me want to go down the street to the bar now. would be my third time at the hookah bar this week. sheesh.

Hookah tobacco is usually only 10% tobacco- the rest is fruit pulp or extract mixed with molasses. The minute amounts of nicotine and most of the tar is filtered out in the water.

The studies that claim it's as bas as smoking 35 cigarettes have the hookah shishka burning at MUCH higer temps- 800C versus the normal 100C temp shishka burns at- creating MUCH more tar than what is actually absorbed by the human lungs.

I really enjoy hookah lounges, they're relaxing, good culture, good food, and great places to socialize with friends (and make new ones). People both working at or visiting hookah bars are much more likely to socialize with you, since you practically are less that 2 feet away from each other.

When using a Hookah - you are not really smoking - you are actually vaporizing - using indirect heat - but some of the co2 from the charcoal does come through. Shisha tobacco comes in a variety of quality - like tobacco - you can have top cut stemless shisha (i.e. Romman or Starbuzz) or lesser quality tobacco. In general - this tobacco is all natural vs typical cig tobacco.

yeah hookahs are luverly i got one certousy of one of ma best buds got me a 90cm hookah with a box with about 15 diffrent flavoured tobacco's ..all fruit, expet the liqurice lol also got a coca cola batch
