i think your info is wrong guys. My understading is that this includes all flavored tobacco products...blunts and wraps included, its also my assumption that menthol cigs are being targeted as well. None of this is solid fact but this is what ive heard down here in FLA, tho i hope im completely wrong...
but hookahs from wat ive heard are not under effect

Why am I a kingtard? Because I'm happy that a miserable product that causes cancer and is marketed towards children has been removed from the market? Do you have any idea how much it costs to manufacture a cigarette? The only reason flavored cigarettes existed was for marketing and corporate profit. they also fool people into wasting money on a shitty product. Do you work for Phillip Morris son? -------------------- My statistical assumption is that chemical tapering should begin when the rate of visiting ODD exceeds the rate of visiting Pub, or any other Shroomery forum.

menthols are actually excluded. I read someone of an African American rights group wanting menthols to be banned because a disproportionate number of their community smokes them with the idea that they're less harmful than regular cigarettes (due to the minty flavor???)

There really aren't any sources one way or the other at this point. It's a pretty uncharted topic but I'm willing to bet smoking shisha isn't significantly healthier than smoking cigarettes. -------------------- !

Dude they look packages of candy. How can you say there not market for children?
You honestly believe that the tobacco conglomerates are not thinking about how to get the future generations hooked early for profit in the years to come? Oh no, there all just a bunch of honest Joes, theres no way they want kids to smoke. -------------------- My statistical assumption is that chemical tapering should begin when the rate of visiting ODD exceeds the rate of visiting Pub, or any other Shroomery forum.

what are you willing to bet? "Even though it's coming through the water and feeling smoother, studies show the levels of toxic compounds are at least as high, if not higher, than cigarettes." http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/1 -------------------- My statistical assumption is that chemical tapering should begin when the rate of visiting ODD exceeds the rate of visiting Pub, or any other Shroomery forum.

Auto-SummaryHookah smoking, while marketed differently, contains numerous toxic additives similar to cigarettes. The US government has approved 599 additives for cigarettes, many of which are toxic and carcinogenic. Hookah smoke contains many of these same chemicals, and the act of smoking more in a session makes it potentially more harmful. it doesn't matter if it's specifically marketed to children, they say the flavoring is to lure children in. on another note, Hookahs are similar to cigarettes in the physical effects. You smoke more in a hookah session, but you don't hookah every 5-10 minutes, or even every week for that matter. Plus shisha doesn't have those other things added to cigarettes.
Thank god that's perfectly legal to smoke but the devil's weed isn't

Yeah I can Google it too, and I have many many times.
There aren't very many studies, even less are reported on reputable sites, and it's a pretty even split. -------------------- !

"are at least as high, if not higher, than cigarettes."

Auto-SummaryThe post highlights the 599 additives approved for use in cigarettes by the US Government, which have not been tested for burning and can be toxic or carcinogenic. Hookah smoking, while marketed differently, can have similar physical effects due to the inhalation of more smoke over a longer period. The post emphasizes the dangers of secondhand smoke and the lack of comprehensive research on the health effects of hookah smoking.
Maybe thats because we haven't made a list and studied the amount of additives in hookah tobacco? Like you said, theres not that much research on the health effects of hookah smoking. -------------------- My statistical assumption is that chemical tapering should begin when the rate of visiting ODD exceeds the rate of visiting Pub, or any other Shroomery forum.

Lol yeahhhhhhh thats bullshit ![]() People consider it healthier because shisha does not contain all the other chemicals/carcinogens in a common cigarette. As far as comparing shisha to all natural cigarette tobacco(not containing chemicals), I'm not sure whats better which is why I'm not gonna make up some bullshit idea I came up with in my head and call it a fact. --------------------

I don't see the words "natural" or "organic" ANYWHERE on the shisha at my local stores. What makes you think theres not a shit load of additives in it? Don't bullshit the bullshitter. Edited by Nuggetpouch (07/29/09 05:22 PM)

i really wish i could find a list of what's in hookahs. I honestly think they're less harmful than cigarettes but not by much. But that's just mein opinion, I have no evidence to support that claim.
