As an avid Shisha smoker for many years myself I have done my research over the years.....YES shisha does have nicotine and LOTS of it....but a clean shisha has ZERO% Tar which is the black stuff that gets deposited in ur lungs...In other words it could be habit forming if ur the "addictive" type "although it hasn't for me" but it's no where near as harmful to ur body as a cigarette can be "IF AND ONLY IF" u do it the right way
Many ppl don’t know much about shisha smoking and they do their body harm without noticing
the right way would be....[ONE] Do not use dead charcoal with is not longer burning, and ask for charcoal immediately...do not puff while the charcoal is dead....also don’t smoke with charcoal that hasn't gotten wet, u can usually recognize washed up charcoal cuz it goes out very quickly and it stays mostly black even when let, I recommend something called "coconut Charcoal" it comes in cubes and it's much cleaner and lasts longer....most places have them on request, they don’t give out as much smoke but they r much healthier.....oh and of course don’t use too much charcoal
[TWO] Yes the shisha does go bad after a while so u cant smoke it for hours on end, many ppl keep smoking as long as they can get smoke which is bad....u see the initial smoke u get from shisha is actually mostly glycerin so it's not "real" smoke but once the shisha head is burnt through u start actually inhaling burning smoking and deposits from the charcoal itself....best rule is to smoke each shisha head for no longer than an hour, if u crave more smoking, ask for a head replacement and puff away, no problem. Smoking three heads while replacing every hours is not as harmful as smoking one head for three.
[THREE] This one is kindda out of ur hand if ur smoking at a public place, always smoke a clean shisha with a clean hose....shisha accumulates deposits which after one or two smokes r not enough to affect u but if the shisha has been smoked by many ppl with different habits for many hours if will have a lot of deposits "aside from the flavor difference u can notice it by the shisha being very harsh to inhale or if u have to inhale hard"....if u do it at home u can of course clean the shisha urself but in public u may either get to ur smoking joint outside busy hours cuz they usually don’t have time to wash the shishas then or just test the place and try to pick a favorite spot and stick with it...tipping the shisha guys ALWAYS helps in getting a good shisha.....a clean shisha usually feels light and u don’t have to inhale as hard
By the way there r herbal healthy shishas but they are not available in Qatar and they don’t taste nearly as good....I know this is a lot to read but hope this helps
