They shut down all the hookah clubs around here. Imagine the hookah is like the ecigs and they have found toxins or toxic chemicals recently in ecigs. Must be same deal,I would Imagine. Would be fun to try though.
You mean in the Middle East ? Last I visited there , there wasn't anything close to a ban.
I'm not sure if an e-hookah is less harmful that a regular one. It's basically a bong and the water filters out some of the components. You can tell by how smooth hookah smoke is. It's like breathing a taste as much as smoking. Are e-hookahs water pipes also?
I don't mind it being as harmful as a normal hookah,but not more. Are there any similar things out there in the market to smoke like this ? I haven't tried a water pipe. Are they as safe or safer than a Hookah ?
A hookah is a type of water pipe. It goes by other names also throughout the middle east. I think they are less harmful to smoke than a normal pipe, but i would not say "safe". Any time your burning something and breathing it in you are surely doing some harm to your body.
It must also matter what you are smoking. In the Middle East a lot of people like to hit the hookah bars after dinner. They smoke all sorts of concoctions of dried fruit and herbs. Sometimes laced with tobacco, but that is forbidden in many places. Traditionally I think they mix tobacco with molasses or honey, and maybe a little hash. I'm guessing that each of these ingredients has it's risks, but I don't know which are worse. Personally I like apple.
I am more into the flavour based Hookahs and wanted something to smoke in a similar way.
