Health risks?

[sadie_genie]

I just got invited to go to a hookah lounge. I don't know if I should go. Is it as bad as smoking? I don't smoke.

It says here it has heath risks but plenty of people told me there won't be any long term health effect.

Ohhh I know it and smoked it and my friends that aren't smoking smoked it too. It's cool , I liked the strawberry taste Naaah I don't think there can be some health risks. It doesn't even feel like when you smoke a cigarette, you seriously have just the taste of it in your mouth, but throat isn't aching or anything. Really no need to worry.

Oh and I think walking on a street and inhaling the smoke coming out of cars would be more harmful than this . Especially if you go to smoke once

Just go for the experience.....you only live once.

I think it's just as bad as smoking, except it's flavored ... BUT, you don't smoke it as frequently as you would a cigarette, so overall, it isn't as bad.

From what I've heard, it's worse than smoking. It's not my thing and I have nothing against anyone that does it, as long as they don't give me a hard time.
