Well, what else would you smoke in it?
 
2007-10-18 08:07:35 AM
My favorite experiment was putting vodka and ice cubes in my "water pipe". Awesome.

As the sign says in the head shop, "If it rhymes with "seed" or "song" you are gone".

Well, that copper lining gives you a good additive.

disgusting.

blah. but hey, it's normal for folks to hit huge rips off of their roor with tobaccy in europe.

i wouldn't even let tobacco touch my roors let alone get fired up in them.

Well, I never! If mead was good enough for my ancestors then it is good enough for me! I will not take this type of abuse from a head shop.

They might as well just plug their ears,close their and go "la la la la la la la la la la la la". It'd have the same effect.

This poor man has a broken water pipe

I've often wondered about the sales ratio of rolling papers vs. rolling tabacco.

I teach Saudi Arabian students at a college, and a group of them were so confused because the cops kept stopping to talk to them about the fact that they guys were smoking their hooka on the front porch. The cops realized it was just tobacco, but I guess the neighbors had been complaining or something. . .finally after the same cops had been there several times, they invited them over for a barbecue. The cops graciously refused, but every time I think about these clueless Saudis inviting cops to a barbecue because they had visited so often, it makes me laugh.

Never been to a hookah bar? Flavored tobaccos pulled through a multi-tap water pipe. I've had tobaccos taste like mango, orange, peach, apple, and cinammon (not as good as it sounds).

Cigars and pipe smoking are the last bastions of freedom in this century.
 
2007-10-18 08:23:18 AM
I can recall smoking a little "rhymes with seed" in a "rhymes with song" filled with burgundy wine.
A very interesting effect.

Turkish water pipes are used very often to smoke tobacco.

its called a HOOKAH
 
2007-10-18 08:24:42 AM
Vaporize your tobacco!

yeah, at our local hookah bar here, my friends and I got one once that was coffee flavored. It was great for about 3 minutes, then it was terrible.

Big fan of the tropical punch flavor. And orange - at the hookah place here, they put orange soda and ice cubes in the bottom of the pipe when you get orange.

/doesn't smoke weed.
//doesn't smoke cigarettes
///still way into smoking culture - cloves, cigars, hookahs, pipes...

I've been partaking of "shisha" daily since I got back from a few months in Egypt. It's tobacco soaked in molasses and fruit juice (apple is very popular there, though I'm more partial to citrus flavors) smoked in a hookah. It's quite pleasant.

The whole anti-tobacco thing is just a crude effort to stop "Bob".

Ironic that he doesn't smoke tobacco, drugs, or even 'Frop in his pipe. He smokes souls.

Weird I always thought I was addicted to the nice hot burning smoke coursing through my lungs.

By the way THC is soluble in alcohol.
 
2007-10-18 08:27:47 AM
But, it's not the same tobacco that you find in cigarettes, it's processed with sticky flavour and is like inhaling a fragrant cloud orchard. Smoking plain tobacco out of a water pipe is nauseating.

Perhaps TFA is correct then...

I once had some moron roommates that did this. Snappin a 'baccy, they called it. Broke off a quarter of a cigarette, and used a plastic bong. Eventually I conceded this one room of the house to them - I called it the Den o' Slack.

Man did that room smell foul.

For some reason, the molasses always makes me feel sick. I stopped smoking hookah. It's a shame, cause I used to love it.

I always hated that. I remember a friend of mine got denied service because of this exact scenario:

My Buddy: Hey, I'm looking for something to clean out my system.

Employee: You mean "detox"?

My Buddy: Yeah, I need some detox because I have a drug screen coming up.

Employee: I can't sell it to you.

My Buddy: Why not?

Employee: Because you admitted that you would use it to mask the prescence of drugs in your system.

My Buddy: ....This is a farking HEAD SHOP! Why else would I be asking for detox in a HEAD SHOP!? If I wanted to to purify my soul, I wouldn't be in a farking HEAD SHOP!

Employee: You'll have to leave.

My Buddy: fark you, pothead.

/I couldn't help but laugh
//We went to the head shop down the street and just bought it, no questions asked

That took me by surprise! It's not everyday see I part of my walk to work on Fark.

Gotta love the Viccy Centre flats.

Mrstupid7: Weird I always thought I was addicted to the nice hot burning smoke coursing through my lungs.

My girlfriend and I use a waterpipe for smoking something other than tobacco. She's an ex-cigarette smoker, and says what she enjoys most about the waterpipe is the smoking sensation itself. I'm not sure if I'm glad she has a safer diversion, or afraid that it may lead her back to cigarettes.

Hookah bars sound a great place...

Smoking tobacco through a hookah can be pretty relaxing. Getting something like double apple or mixed fruit makes the smoke you pull in taste like kool-aid.

I'm waiting for their actual studies/research....in addition regular tobacco through a hookay = bwuh?

I can just see dave chapelle now...white lips, scratchin his neck..."hey guys, wanna smoke some hookah?"

WTF is a water pipe????


All I can think of is the hookah used by the caterpillar in "Alice In Wonderland."

And I still don't know if that's a water pipe, per se...

"It also appears that using a water pipe is as addictive as other forms of tobacco smoking, Maziak added."

Thank you, Captain Obvious. Who could possibly think that a water pipe could filter out 100% of nicotine?

Scott114: I've often wondered about the sales ratio of rolling papers vs. rolling tabacco.

I work at a tobacco shop, the disparity is there but it's not ridiculous. The town has a paraphernalia law, we could sell water pipes, screens, hookah parts, etc., but the paperwork is ridiculous and it's an old-school shop anyway. We sell papers, and that's about it.

I used to buy papers and roll with pipe tobacco. That way the wife doesn't mind the smell.

Back in my "rhymes-with-seed" days, I came across some study that said water-pipes/hookahs were worse than using cigarette-papers. Apparently, more tar & resin is caught on the paper than what the water removes. Surprised me.

granolasteak: WTF is a water pipe????

It's something smokers will have to use in the future since some Middle Eastern cultures use it to smoke tobacco. That way, they can claim a cultural exemption and the libtard health Nazis will let them have free will.

Remember, libtard freedom for minorities is only granted if you blow something up!

Since I just bought a super nice 4 foot tall light blue double blown glass water pipe and smoked marijuana out of it last night, I am getting a kick out of these replies.

/no, really

Ive got 3 hookahs and the only thing Ive ever smoked out of them is shisha (flavored tobacco).

Smoking, no matter what form, is still bad for you.

I love scotch tobacco
Scotchy, scotch, scotch tobacco, tobacco, tobacco

A real treat - half cannabis, half shisha. Mmmmm. Especially if you get a flavor that compliments the particular strain of cannabis you have. Good, high grade nuggets + mango shisha = heaven.
 
2007-10-18 09:11:16 AM
If hookah smoking is "just as addicting" doesn't that exonerate Big Tobacco from accusations they're putting in all kinds of additives in their nicotine delivery systems to make their cigs even more addicting?

Not buying this, just based on how I personally feel after smoking a handrolled vs. a store-bought.



/smokes about once a month

We once used dr. pepper in the water pipe, desperate times called for desperate measures. Then it started raining so we held it out the car window
