no other activities just shisha
My wife and I aren't smokers but we tried our friends shisha when they came back from the middle east.. Fruity tobacco with no tar and no nicotine. Tasted like flavoured disco smoke..lol.. my wife thought it was like having cake but not eating it. Seems harmless fun
Shisha (big water pipe with hot coals in the top to burn the tobacco)
Originally posted by royalchickenokie had the right idea... I call it a hubbly bubbly or a hookah, got 1 in the living room! need more tobacco for it tho.... I find it a smoother smoke and a better smoke!
It's a (usually gigantic and ornate) water pipe from which one smokes tobacco, usually pleasantly flavoured.
I have heard Shisha in the states is fcuking expensive, while here in the middle east it's so cheap!
I enjoy shisha, it's better than smoking, apple flavor i like best..
what i know is that shisha is more dangerous than smoking, As you guys know youe body has got limited alveoli, millions, shisha pops up your alveoli, while smoking blocks it!
if you stop smoking your alveoli will unblock, but if you stop shisha nothing actually happens the popped ones are already gone..
As a result of that: Shisha is more dangerous
Originally posted by royalchickenI got high. It's the only tobacco product I've ever tried where I actually felt something. It's a neat buzz.

Has anyone ever tasted a nagilem shisha?
I do think it has a lot to do with the coal you use as far as taste and smoothness are concerned. Really red hot hard wood coal is the best i find. I don't think there is any real health risks as long as i'ts not abused.
