    yeah, i know, but it's more fruit and molasses than anything

    it's got like .05% nicotine

    so to me, it's hardly tobacco :D

    Thomas Eissenberg, a professor of psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University co-authored a hookah study which found that a session of hookah smoking which lasts about 45 minutes, delivers 36 times more tar, 15 times more carbon monoxide and 70% more nicotine than a single cigarette.

    i've been to wikipedia too :rolleyes:

    notice the little "citation needed" part?


    and i never said it was better, or anything about tar

    ever look on the box of shisha? all the boxes i've ever had said they contain .05% nicotine

    yes, I understand it wasn't from the greatest source of information. However, I've read similar statistics before in much more credible sources, I was just too lazy to find them.

    .05% nicotine yea maybe
    but in a 45 min smoke session u smoke lot more then 1 cig worth
    so being 70% more makes sence
    after all the mass of the smokable substance is probably greatter then a full pack of cigs
    a hookah bowl is huge, just empty a pack of cigs into 1 & you'll see
    in short its about equal to cigssince u might smoke 2 cigs in 45 min..
    so smopking a hookah might be slightly less nicotene, but u smoke alot more timewise

    yeah but i never said anything about how long you smoke it or how much more nicotine you get anyways

    jesus people

    the only thing i said was it had .05% nicotine



    "let he who hath sinned casteth the first rock...and i shall smoketh it"


    yeah, i dunno



    so sue me :D

    actually it is, but it can refer to the tobacco as well
