Oh...try replacing the water with scotch for a change, it will add an extra dimension to it. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

I assume this makes it a no-brainer for us to assume that *someone* will be drinking the bongwater?
Using a hookah can be worse, depending on practice. The Turkish tradition is to put burning coals on top of the tobacco in a hooka -- so, you would inhale pure coal fumes as well as tobacco. Ick.
Here's the thing you're missing, perhaps. If you smoke tobacco through a pipe or cigar, you usually don't inhale the smoke. You just taste and exhale -- the nicotine gets into your system through your blood stream via the mouth. Now, are you using a water pipe instead of a pipe because you're inhaling from the pipe? If you are inhaling from the pipe, there are filter pipes that are available, or you could use a water pipe, weird as that may be.
If you're asking about Roman Red, a/k/a Wacky Weedus, you should just say so. In that regard, bongs will let you take HUGE hits. Gets you high fast, but can hurt like hell. So, you may only take one hit, but you'll get the damage of many. The only guy I ever saw cough up blood from long term pot smoking smoked from a bong all the time.
Either way you slice it, looks like a health concern is something you're going to fail to address, so just do what you like.
