Wouldn't go out of my way to smoke this but if friends want to go to a lounge I will, it makes you feel quite light headed doesn't it, don't know if that's just me or if am sensitive to the inhalation of this flavoured smoke one thing I got to say about lounges, often their desserts can be really nice! even more then dessert specialists, I love my cookie dough

I only have the mint flavoured Shisha, with an ice head and ice pipe.

Don't accept anything else

depends on if u like that, if you dont you half inhale the shisha and continue to inhale air over it with the side of your mouth, weakens out the "buzz", on the other hand if u want to feel it just hold it in your lungs tilt your head back, close your eyes, and exhale after two or three seconds.

my fav desert is baklava, crushed in the mouth and smoked over with a shisha, changes the taste a bit which is fun.

ISLAMABAD: While the popularity of sheesha (tobacco pipe) has increased in recent years, researchers said it may be more dangerous than other forms of smoking tobacco.

Using a custom-built testing device, the researchers analysed emissions during a typical sheesha session and found that one draw from a pipe contained as many noxious substances as a cigarette.

Hookah mainstream smoke, which is directly inhaled, has many toxic and harmful chemicals, like nicotine that can lead to tobacco addiction, irritating carbonyl compounds, and benzene, a known carcinogen,” said study lead author Veronique Perraud from the University of California.

“Due to the greater volume inhaled in every puff and the longer duration of a smoking session, the hookah often delivers a higher dose of those chemicals to the smoker,” Perraud said.

It also produced a large quantity of carbon monoxide, mainly from the burning of charcoal to heat the tobacco or herbal mixture in its bowl.

The study, published in journal Aerosol Science and Technology, also referred to several cases of carbon monoxide intoxication.

In addition to testing ordinary tobacco, the group also studied a nicotine-free herbal mixture, marketed as a healthier alternative, and discovered that it produced even higher levels of toxic gases.

The study is the first to characterise ultra-fine particles (with a diameter smaller than 100 nanometers) in the inhaled smoke.

The researchers measured the chemical composition of gases and solids emitted during a hookah session in real-time.

“Through our technique of testing emissions in the beginning, midpoint and end of a smoking session, we were able to show that a smoker is exposed to a higher quantity of ultrafine particles during the first 10 minutes compared with the rest of the session,” she said.

According to the study, these minuscule particles can pose significant health risks by making their way deep into the pulmonary system and by readily crossing the blood-brain barrier.
