Thanks for the comments, people. It seems like you all think negatively about this, not that I'm surprised or anything
I have one question, still: Is waterpipe supposed to be less damaging than regular tobacco, because it has water, which supposedly makes the smoke unharmful? I'm not asking because I want to be using it, I'm asking because of curiosity concerning the lives of the people I know. When I tried waterpipe, I asked my friend lots of questions, one of them being "Are you addicted?" The answer was "Sure, why not, It's not unhealthy anyway" |

a waterpipe is moreharmful, because the smoke concentrates in it. sorry to say it is worse, but I know alot of people who got sicker from a waterpipe than a normal one

Stormy, have you got some more info on this, I'm intrigued. *disclaimer* I'm only intrigued by the phenomenon, I'm not going to start any (more) bad habits.

I'll note that I did not say I'm against trying different things. Telling someone not to do something because it's bad is something a parent does to a child, and after a certain age, the "child" is a child no longer, and doesn't respond well when this happens.
Rather, I offered advice based on my experiences. I suggested you look toward where you want to be in the future, and decide if these things will help you or hurt you in getting there. I believe in free choice, as long as those who choose remain responsible for their choices and their consequences. And folks, the comments above are not a knock on anyone else who responded or anything like that. It's a personal challenge I face -- I'm more comfortable being the "heavy", so I watch myself carefully for signs that I'm doing it. No offense intended or implied to anyone else. On another note, a brief Google search on waterpipes turned up the following snippet: Quote:
