Hookahs, found mainly in the eastern hemisphere and college dorms, are under scrutiny. Some people smoke tobacco out of hookahs, thinking that it is a safe alternative to smoking cigarettes. Guess what, those people were wrong and probably pretentious to boot.
I can imagine them now with their big pouches of foreign-borne tobacco. They gingerly load their hookah, taking the time to explain the proper loading procedures, the flavors of tobacco and future hookah-related purchases. They dress like professors and have leather patches on their sleeves, but their hair is in a ponytail, because they have an edge. An edge, I tell you.
In my humble opinion, you'd having to be smoking illegal narcotics out of a hookah to think that smoking tobacco in any way, shape or form is safe. That's people for you. Always holding out hope, even if it is for something really stupid.
Well, some researchers actually tested the effects of hookah smoking on college-aged hookah users, probably just to get pretentious hookah fans to shut up, because it's pretty obvious at this day and age that smoking is bad, but those elitist hookahites probably wouldn't shut up.
Really, what happened was that these goofballs with their flapping lips full of flapdoodle made scientists waste time and energy just to get them to change the subject and talk about something interesting, but oh noes! They have started talking about lame conspiracy theories. Thanks scientists, thanks.
Here's the scoop on water pipes:
They bad.
They produce 36 times more lung tar. There was more carbon monoxide exhaled per breath, and long-term use will probably give you cancer.
If you've been sweet-talked by tobacco snobs into smoking out of hookah, you can see a pulmonologist to help you get your lungs straight. All other doctors can be found at this link.
