Does hookah have calories? Or, at least, anything worth entering?

    Hmm, I don't think so, but who knows. I have a hookah bong, don't smoke it very often though, which is a good thing I'm sure. Did you try google?

    I've only done it once! And besides, if you only do it about once a month, there are no ill effects.

    I just found something on yahoo answers (good ol' yahoo!) and it decreases your appetite, and no calories! Pretty sweet!

    It seems like if you're SMOKING something, and not EATING it, it wouldn't have calories :bigsmile:

    I sincerely doubt it does :)
    As for not smoking, that's a personal choice. Life is not meant to go unlived. Quality of life verus quantity IMO.

    Smoking a hookah is one of the lesser harmful ways to smoke, especially if you're smoking real shisha tobacco since its not fire-cured. Fire-curing causes the formation of nitrosamines, which are highly carcinogenic. It's cured with herbs, fruits, etc soaked in syrups. Similarly, this is the same reason that snus are less likely to cause cancer than dip.

    It's still not good for you, but then again most people don't smoke a hookah every day like many smokers will inhale a pack of cigs every day.

    Enjoy it, I myself love hookah bars!
    Just be careful... hookah bars mean falafel, curry, and all kinds of other delicious foods that DO have lots of calories :laugh:

    Lol, traditionally you don't smoke pot in a hookah :laugh: You can, but why turn such a pretty item into paraphernalia? :wink:
    You smoke tobacco.. which makes you not hungry (and can ease IBS).

    Lol, I'm in college, in San Francisco, so let's just say I'm totally up for the occasional hookah! Actually, I'm more likely to accept a hookah invitation than a drinking one--no calories!

    As for, ahem, not as widely accepted plants, they don't give me the munchies, so I don't worry about becoming a binge monster. Some of my friends though...WHOA., nail down the chocolate!

    And the fact I've never smoked a cigarette in my life makes it even funnier.

    I like hookah because it's so relaxing too. Very social, and I drink more water! Not too expensive either (we share). Go hookah! :happy:

    I smoked a hookah with my sister for the first time over Christmas and I really liked it. Very relaxing and she was saying that it is actually much healthier than cigs or pot. (She manages a smoke shop, she knows her stuff!)

    When I think of a hookah it's Alice in Wonderland that comes to mind, or the ancient greeks who gathered around as they had so many...ah well, I don't know the proper term, basically more than one person could smoke at the same time, often many. So whatever the term is..:blushing:

    Just be careful... hookah bars mean falafel, curry, and all kinds of other delicious foods that DO have lots of calories :laugh:

    :laugh: :tongue:

    HOWEVER, when I crave my cigs, I remember how much I enjoy running, and I can stave off the craving.
    Did that this morning. No smoking, going running in another 24 minutes and CANNOT WAIT. :bigsmile:
