Just a qsn about sheesha, i was under the impression that the smokers put tobacco in it

Am i right in this assumption :?

If so then wudnt the same rules regarding smoking cigarettes apply.

[quote="Darth V-Hayder"]you cant get addicted to sheesha

and unlike fags, it dont smell or taste nasty

its fruit flavoured stuff

no nictine factor

and no cravings[/quote]No nicotine? Rubbish, and it is more-ish. If it was as convenient as cigarettes it would be more addictive, not less, with all that sugar.

Sirus — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 - 12:46

dont go jus coz i said you can by the way lol

sometimes its better if you avoid it, i dont like the stuff going on around

but i dont pay attention, and i know the 'chill' i have there means nothing to me....most of the time i only go coz mates start crying if i dont go

Hayder you never told me it had tobacco in it and you spent the best part of 40 minutes assuring me it was halaal.

Btw my mum and sis each have a sheesha in their bedrooms and we have one in the living room and in the hallway and bathroom too. (no joke we do, seriously.)

we've been thru this topic of sheesha a mill. times already - i'm sure there's a thred somewhere...

100 wot type do u smoke? ur calling it 'hookah' so i assume its the indian version? coz i know the (arabian) 'sheesha' material i have does not contain nicotine and is nowhere near as bad as cigarettes.

Dawud, i dont know of any scholars who hav labelled sheesha 'haraam', altho i hav herd it labelled 'makrooh'. the sheeshas provided in most of these 'cafes' contain fruit molasses which make up 99%, and this is the 'flavouring' tht u smoke. the remaining 1% is tobacco used to [b]preserve[/b] the molasses.

100 — Thu, 24 Nov 2005 - 14:05

Hedwig, 1%? No way. At least a quarter, sometimes as much as 60%. I always just refer to smoking narghila but as that is what I call the tobacco, I thought I would use the word hookah which everyone knows. It's tobacco, and the molasses sweeten and preserve the tobacco. I would say trust me, and do, but I've a feeling you're gonna cling to this one. I've never been to India, and all my narghila comes from Arab countries. The filtration may remove some nicotine.

according to tht link, i should b a 'hookah chain smoker' by now. :roll: the reason i thought u smoked the indian version is coz most arabs call it 'sheesha' whereas indians call it 'hookah'. so basically ur saying the opposite to wot i sed - that the molasses are there to preserve the tobacco? in tht case there must b much more tobacco than molasses... in which case u cud probably get addicted.

as u gesd tho, i maintain tht the sheesha i use is majority molasses and extremely little tobacco, hence the strong 'taste' of fruit, and no addiction. i dont do it often anyway, just on random occasions, now and then. its always a social thing, one has to b sad to sit and smoke sheesha on their own!

I was just disputing your claim about the tobacco content and it not being addictive. If you know tobacco, which I'm sorry to say I do, you will recognise all the big lumps of tobacco, smothered in molasses, which is the gooey stuff. If there wasn't a significant amount of tobacco it wouldn't burn right and you'd be smoking coal. Come to think of it coal can't be too healthy either.

one of the potential health risks of sheesha tht i'd mentioned on a previous sheesha discussion was Carbon monoxide poisoning - if ur smoking for aaages, then u might feel dizzy afterwards, thts coz of the CO. but the reason this doesnt make sheesha 'forbidden' or 'haraam' is coz its a reversible effect.

100 — Thu, 24 Nov 2005 - 15:24

[url=http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic315.htm]Reversible[/url] applies to Carbon Monoxide in the system, not to the effects. In fact smokers have a significantly reduced tolerance of Carbon Monoxide in the environment and CO poisoning is a common cause of death. How do you reverse that? btw I have already stated I have no issues with the odd sheesha, but to argue to non-smokers, from hearsay or make-believe, that it carries no health risks is unwise.
