their could be a few reasons i've found that could be why u got sick
-what you ate before, i ate some mexican before once and i didnt feel so hot
-drinking something can help
-if the hookah wasnt prepared right, ie unclean hoses, not moving the coal properly
these are some ways to prevent feeling sick.
I used to get sick when I smoked a cigar for too long, or when I smoked pipe tobacco too much. It's normal. Try smoking less next time, and eventually that sick feeling will just go away even if you smoke a lot.
If you've never smoked a hookah before: IT'S AWESOME! Tastes great, relaxes you, and fun to blow some rings. But don't smoke a shit ton or real fast because you will boot from all the nicotine. It is harmful for you though, so if you don't want the risk of cancer, don't smoke, or do it in moderation. Personally, I could chief on one all day instead of cigs, and I'd probably be dead twice as fast.
I like hookah it relaxes me. I love chilling at a hookah bar with a group of friends on the big squishy couches.
A study once showed that tobacco through a hookah, during a half hour session, delivered the nicotine equivalent of 3 cigarettes, and the tar equivalent of 30 cigarettes. Hookahs are not designed for inhaling as far as safety goes, you just taste the smoke like with a cigar or pipe.
The smouldering charcoal has a more potent carcinogen than other tobacco forms. I'd use the hookah without charcoal for weed only, like a hosed bong.
Yeh ive had the happened to me before, i got a nice little buzz off the hookah but i felt sick and threw up later on. I hate hookah....and tobacco.......ill stick with the ganj
I love my hookah, we use it all the time here, you'll only get sick with certain flavors that really are sickining, but with regular Double Apple flavors you shouldnt have any problem, its a nice full buzz and goes great with drinking but i really never use mj in it, not worth wasting it
I smoked it for an hour my first time with a friend at an Indian restaurant around where I live and ended up puking my guts out. It was after i finished my meal when I started to feel sick. I put the money down for the food, tipped the guy who set up my hookah, walked outside and puked lol. We drove to my friends house and I puked in his sink. I then drove home and had to pull over and puke on the way there. Hookah is very fun to do...just dont over do it when you begin smoking it.
To be fair, that study was highly criticized for methodologies employed. Well, maybe we're talking about different studies.Quote:

Either way, its pretty clear smoking ANYTHING isnt exactly safe for you, so why stress the safety aspect? You're burning something and inhaling the smoke, its not gonna be great for you...
