Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
» Is there any difference between smoking hookah tobacco and smoking cigarettes?
While there is frequent debate about the negative affects to health by smoking hookah, no no conclusive evidence has been presented as of yet. Much of the trouble is that manufacturers of shisha, the smoking blends used in hookah pipes, are far less stringently regulated than the tobacco companies that manufacture cigarettes. As a result it is difficult to compare the two, especially since shisha products list tar and nicotine content in percentages and cigarette companies in milligrams. Much has been made of the smoking of hookah in Arab countries of late, with the focus being primarily on the ill effects of hookah smoke. One thing that ought to be borne in mind is the fact that due to the water filtration system addition of fruits and honey molasses in shisha mixes, the smoke from a hookah pipe can be deceptively light and smooth. In addition to this an average hookah session with involve the inhalation of a far greater volume of smoke into the lungs than would even be possible in the smoking of cigarettes. The advice as always is to use with caution and be aware that all forms of smoking are detrimental to your health.
» Are herbal shisha blends healthier than smoking hookah tobacco?
Although herbal shisha blends do not contain tobacco or nicotine it should be noted that it is still smoke you are inhaling while smoking them. As a result there is still a tar content to the material you are smoking. Any sort of smoking activity will have a detrimental effect on your health. The reason why herbal shisha blends are thought of as healthier is that they do not contain the nicotine of traditional tobacco which has been proven to be a very addictive substance. Nevertheless you should be aware that whatever you smoke contains tar and so will affect your health adversely.
» My hookah hose does not attach properly to the stem of my hookah pipe, every time I put it in it just falls out, what am I doing wrong and have I bought a dub pipe?
Rest assured that you have not purchased a dud hookah pipe. It does however sound like you are missing a component to your hookah pipe, the hose grommet. This is a little rubber plug that fits between your hose and your stem allowing a snug airtight connection between both. In the absence of a grommet, if the hose is smaller than the hose of the step it will not connect properly and fall out. This is not a big problem to solve though as you can easily purchase hookah parts online and if you do a search for your make and model of hookah pipe you should be able to find several online retailers that supply parts for your pipe. If this becomes a problem, or you are in a rush to get it going before your new grommet arrives you can use a variety of other materials to plug the whole. The easiest and cheapest method, also used traditionally is to use paper to ensure a snug fit between the hose and the stem. Simply moisten some kitchen towels that you have ripped into little shreds and wrap them around the base of your hose until the fit nicely into the stem without any loss of air when you draw. You can also use electrical tape which is quite soft and rubbery, easily makes an airtight connection and comes off relatively cleanly.
