The nicotine is the good stuff - the stuff that gives you a buzz. The bad shit is the tar and carcinogens....

anyway - what's got you curious about shisha?

Just seeing people having them today....and the lovely smells wafting around...it seems such an innocent thing to be doing, as well as a social thing, cause it's mostely done by a few people, sometimes sharing the pipe...

I have tried it when I was working in Egypt. The smell got the better of me and I just had to try it. There was a crowd of us so we bought a couple and everyone had a try.

We had apple tobacco. Sweet tasting and as i am not a smoker, it certainly got my head spinning.

Double Apple or Grape

I only smoke it once or twice per month. It is very bad for you apparantley, smoking a pipe for an evening is equivalent to a pack of ciggies

That's what i have been told, not sure how true that is

The guys I was with all were at it, (oh matron), and it didnt seem to affect me at all. I think deep down is I am worried about it becoming habit forming. I gave up smoking 20 years ago and I dont really wanna start again

hmmmm....I see what you mean...the thing is though, you need to go somewhere to smoke shisha, it's not something you'd easily do in your own house...so that makes it a bit less likely to be addictive...plus you can't go walking round with it or smoke in your car, like you do cigarettes...

I'm such an addict that I smoke cigarettes and shisha at the same time...
