Ok so i have smoked these every once in a while and when people set it up they always put aluminum foil on the top with small holes in it with the hot coals on top of that. I have heard that its really bad to smoke with aluminum foil, i don't know the chemistry of why can someone please explain, first off, and second off is there a way to smoke shisha/hooka without this problem?
Also, hookah is about the same as smoking a vape or something right, it has a lot of nicotine but thats not a bad thing, its the shit the tons of chemicals and tar in cigarettes that gives people cancer, right? so that would mean that shisha isn't really that bad? idk. i'm misinformed, please inform me

This is very wrong. Most of the available data suggests hookah smoking is as harmful as cigs. Given what you're smoking, aluminum foil is probably the least of your concerns.

Although shisha is worse than vaping imo, it can't be labeled as bad as cigarettes. Firstly, it does vaporize the tobacco, not combust it. And when you make shisha you soak it before mixing it, removing tar (99% of it I've heard, but don't quote me) and I'd imagine many of the pesticides and other cancerous chemicals. Soaking does remove a lot of the nicotine, but when I grow rustica this year...we'll see about the nicotine in my shisha lol. As for the aluminum foil, I can't see it being good for you. I know it's been associated with Alzheimer's. I'd recommend some some sort of ceramic top-piece (if they even sell those).
