Well my friend's smoking hookah, I dont know much about it. Does it have any harmful effects? Does it have addictive substances?

Depends on what he's smoking in it. If it's tobacco, it's no more harmful than a cigarette, cigar or pipe. Which is to say using it once in a while is essentially harmless, using it every day could eventually lead to health problems.

typically smoking anything is not good for you. however it depends what he is smoking in his hookah. A hookah is a middle eastern device for smoking. A hookah uses indirect heat and water filtration. Usually it is used for smoking flavored tabaccos which I would guess are only a little more harmful than cigarettes depending if he is using any filters or not. but it can be used to smoke any number of things. just that a hookah is used makes it no more dangerous or addictive. There are hookah bars near where i live in the US where you can go in and smoke flavored tobacco from the same hookah with six friends at the same time. unless hookah is slang for something that i totally missed, then i depends on what your friend is using his hookah for.

Hookah is flavored tobacco but I have read that the amount of tobacco in the hookah is equal to quite a bit of cigarettes. It's very unhealthy.

To be honest with you, smoking anything isn't good for you. But if you think about it, how many puffs do you get if you're in a group, and how many times do you do it a week? Pure flavoured tobaco is much less harmful than cigarettes because it doesn't contain as many toxic chemicals. Man, you live with cars that emit alot more smoke than a hooka, or sheisha, or arguila. This is mild compared to cigarettes, cars, or crack. Just keep it in moderation.

Hookah isn't weed, it is tobacco. And it is not any longer unlawful. even if it is nonetheless tobacco, it really is an identical element it really is in cigarettes. sure, it is undesirable for you AND your toddler. yet this isn't about you, it is about your toddler. do you choose to run the prospect of having a pre mature toddler? it really is not any longer a threat i ought to be keen to take. no better smoking.

One should not smoke but if one must one should puff and not inhale any smoke from anything.
Caution should be exersised in smoking. Unsusal substances increase risk. Use good non-chemically treated tobacco.
