    i was looking it up and all of the results said that no scientific data has been established for the effects on human health, maybe i was looking in the wrong places.


    so even pure weed is bad for you? and why was this moved from human science to free thought? its about human health and effects that is scientific.


    peace.

    As a rule, inhaling anything into your lungs other than pure air is not ideal. My guess is that the molasses forms a thin coat on the inside of your lungs. Does that sound healthy??

    My advice is to not do it, or to do it very rarely.

    It's much less harmful than cigarettes, that's for sure.

    I have a hookah, and I enjoy my normal shisha. I've never tried any of that herbal stuff.

    The shisha is much less harmful than cigarettes. It's two-fold. First, it's natural tobacco, so it doesn't have all the additives. Second, it's much less addictive than cigarettes, which means you are very much less likely to do it for the rest of your life. Smoking from a hookah also produces much cooler smoke, so you aren't scorching your lungs with hot smoke.

    No matter what you smoke, you will be breathing in carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and particles of burnt material. The carbon monoxide will bind to hemoglobin in place of oxygen, so even if you aren't smoking tobacco, there are chemicals that will enter your bloodstream and run around in your body for a while.

    If you want the safest thing to smoke, it would probably be herbal shisha smoked in a hookah. It's not completely safe, but it won't do any lasting harm if it's only once in a while. For all practical purposes, I would go so far as to say it's nearly harmless. Have you ever tried it before? I can't vouch for the flavor. Personally, I like the flavor of natural tobacco.

    They don't "taste" as such, but the ones I tried were pretty good. You get a hit of the fruit flavor, if its a good mixture, its a nice hit.

    Pretty close.

    Apple was my favorite until I got sick after smoking it. After that I never liked it much. My current favorite is liquorice. I also like mixing mint and blueberry.

    If you look around the information can be found. If you smoke shisha regularly (regular in this case is somewhere between 3 -4 crucibles full a day) then you will encounter the same problems that someone who smokes cigarettes 5 or 6 times a day would have. However if you are sharing maybe one crucible every 3 or 4 days with some friends then the effect on your lungs is severely lessened. Chain smoking is definitely an unhealthy habbit however smoking every so often, maybe once a week or two to three times a month has been shown to greatly reduce stress without the side effects of other vices (Like getting drunk or overeating). Like every other thing in the universe you need to smoke with the knowledge that you can become addicted and that too much of it is bad for you. The universal rule is that everything should be taken in doses (too much of anything kills)

    edit: Also, check www.Hookah-Shisha.com for some neat flavors, Orange mixed with mint to date is my favorite!

    I've never heard of herbal shisha, as far as I know the basic 'herb' in it is tobacco, with the addition of fruit extracts and mollasses. Double apple seems to be everybody's favourite in Cyprus, but the addition of liquorice makes it special. If you add a good amount of ouzo or other liquorice flavoured licquor to the water, you'll get the taste and an alcoholic hit as well.

    so it is't bad for your lungs or anything.

    Tobacco-less Shisha

    What about non-tobacco herbal shisha?
