I’m going to say that crack in moderation is not fine.

Also, ricin. That’s not good in moderation either.

And the tv show “Mama’s Boys”.

Also.

i say – anything in decent moderation is fine. people drink, people smoke, people have sex. as long as you don’t go crazy – you can continue to lead a safe, healthy, and long life.

I own a hookah and I do it for the intense amount of smoke, the social scene of it (great conversation piece), and it can give an extreme buzz.

I went to Yafa Grill last weekend in Columbia heights. The real apple shisha was really good but the service was not great. My coals were completely burned out for 15 minutes. For me, hookah is about the taste and the socializing.

Ahh.. I started smoking Shisha with my friends in London, England. I’ve never smoked a cig before because of how it makes you stink. Shisha never has left any smell that you would have to worry about. I dont think about the effect. But when Im sitting in a restaurant with everyone smoking around me is that any safer? Hey if I die from Cancer from smoking this.. HEY I went out HAPPY! Doing what I wanted. People can say all they want about how bad smoking is.. but it just depends on the person. My grandma is 85 yrs old been smokin since she was 20 and she is still kicking hard and still smoking. I dont care about all this Nonsense. BUT shisha is a good thing to do when you are just hanging out having a few drinks!

Well I am from SoCal, San Diego to be exact, my folks still live here and I am here on holiday. The trendiness of the hookah may be gone from SoCal be some of us patronize those establishments even more because of that fact, I was hoping to find a decent place to chill here and catch a whiff of sex-on-the-beach or even just a lackluster attempt at very-vanilla, but sadly as in most cases my home state tends to dissapoint. I mean seriously, anyone who has ever even attempted the simple pleasure of smoking from a hookah could never imagine it becoming habitual, so to place it in the same realm as marlboros or any other form of tobacco is idealistically ignorant. Why can’t people here just let things roll, doing some “shish” might relax some of ya. So post back after you’ve given it a try, and get back to me with some places to light up here in the tundra, dats it, peace, Im outies…

i know smoking is bad in any way shape or form but i went from smoking a pack of cigs a day to smoking one bowl of my hooka once in a week if that, in my opinion its a lot less now than before. we all have our own vices if we are not hurting anyone why is it wrong.we are not forcing people to smoke or blowing it in peoples face if you dont like it walk away or did we forget that this a free country.

I hate to get into an East Coast / West Coast thing, but I think places like Philly and Detroit had hookah scenes first.

But whatever.... here's a Washington Post story too.
