Over the last year or so I got into the whole hookah thing with a few friends. I've found it to be a relaxing, enjoyable accessory to our evening...especially when belly dancers are involved. I don't smoke cigarettes or anything for that matter, but I find Hookah to be a fun addition to the social side of life.
Do any of you partake? Why do you do it? Do you see it as some bs way for people to take your money? What are some of your opinions on the idea of hookah?

I wondered what you meant for a minute there... but it's just clicked.
Never tried it myself, but a local Indian restaurant used to have them, if asked.
What is in them?!

the only hookahs i smoked was my friends. he got it in some indian store in college. I just remember needing alot of greens to pack it, but once it starts simmering it just goes and goes and goes....

That was my initial thought process, but where do cigarettes get people? Some people only smoke cigarettes when they drink.The whole idea could just be a good, grown up activity that is moreso a reason to get together and have something to do while we try to figure out if Hookah is a noun or a verb (uh, well my friends are a little off). In essence a conversational piece. I'm pretty into it, but I think the culture of it could be more interesting than just going somewhere and smoking flavored tobacco.

i don't like the idea of putting that potentially germ-infested octopus tentacle/pipe in my mouth.

I started smoking very young, after a few years (maybe 7 or so) I quitted for a year or so, (just the bad one of the 2 kinds I was smoking) then back at if for fro 2 more, its been probably 4 years now that I haven't touched a cigarette and when I was quitting, the hardest part was going to a bar, when I was smoking I talked to a lot more people.
I know that if I try 1 cigarette I will fall again into the vice, so when I'm feeling like smoking I go to a hookah bar, its way lighter than tobacco or weed, in fact if you are a smoker you might not even feel it, but now its good and enough for me, I probably did it twice last year though..
- except the hookahs are WAY more nasty for you than cigarettes. i quit tobacco in 98, i still have grass here and there. but when i do, i try to use my vaporizer whenever possible.jaylarson

i have to smoke a bit of lando before i can enter a hookah bar. otherwise it makes me really uncomfortable (and a bit boring).

i like mint flavour.
- cherub0
the flavor changes everything, it's not as lame as it seems imo

sure they're fun once and a while.. some friends have one... great when there's hashish on hand.
but don't kid yourself... it maybe more natural, but tobacco is still tobacco, not matter what flavor you buy.

it's weird that cigarettes are banned in all public places in Toronto including bars and night clubs but there are hookah lounges all over the place.

I've still never smoked out of a hookah. I prefer my <a href="http://www.TheGlassPipe.com">glass pipes</a anyway.

yeah i dont smoke or drink... but me and my friends sure find it relaxing to get a couple of hookah's every now and them and buffing them in front of each other and do some high fives while we at it

Weird that you get hookahs in Indian restaraunts... hookahs aren't of indian origin, they're arabic/persian (I think).

Also known as, Sheesha, Al-Gira, Chalim, Wog-Bong etc.
These are great. I don't smoke any more, but I do enjoy the occasional Hookah at an Arabic cafe.
My favourite is the rockmelon flavour.

I had one for a long time and used it quite often when friends came over, or if I was just hanging out with my roommates. I just sold it a few weeks ago actually... it just got old and I'm trying to quit smoking. Loved it while I had it though.
Also, if anyone is considering getting one, be careful of the coals and tobacco you use for it. I never trusted the instant light charcoals, just seems to be too many strange chemicals or something about them. And only get natural tobacco from hookah shops or wherever you can find it.
