Q: i no its not a bad but how much better is it

A: Smoking hookah is way better for you than smoking cigarettes. Whatever people are saying about the equivalence of hookah to cigarettes may be right but don’t have all the facts.

But is shisha bad for you, how bad compared to cigarettes (i havn’t taken a cigareete before) and is it illegal under 16?Please dont give me a load of crap about how im too young please!

A: The age restrictions apply to all tobacco, shisha included. Because of your age, I can’t condone it, but it is your decision. That being said, as far as health issues go, no major research institutes have done studies on the affects of shisha, so honestly, no one can really say. As far as factors to consider go, there’s quite a bit less heat and the smoke is more moist, so compared to cigarettes, the dry heat damage is lessened. The water does filter out some stuff out of the smoke, but the effectiveness is questionable. Lastly, most shisha is usually made without additives. However, there are drastically larger amounts of nicotine in shisha. Pretty much, it’s up to you to make a decision on whether or not smoking shisha is worth the health risk vs. the experience of smoking hookah.
