Is it dangerous or unhealthy to smoke a hookah?

You have probably wondered whether smoking a hookah can really be just as harmful and unhealthy as smoking cigarettes and similar products. Do hookahs have the same harmful effect? Is it the same as smoking other forms of tobacco, or might it not be as harmful as you think? It can be a bit confusing to figure out, so we provide you with all the answers you need right here.

Tobacco smoking and heavy smoke exposure are harmful

We cannot deny that tobacco smoking and smoke are harmful—especially in large amounts. It is therefore never a good idea to have a tobacco addiction and to smoke every day or frequently.

Many may also think that regular cigarettes are more harmful than hookahs. However, that is not entirely correct, and therefore neither is something you should practice too often. Although smoking a hookah may not seem as taxing as smoking regular cigarettes, we cannot avoid the fact that it is still tobacco we are smoking and smoke we inhale when we use a hookah. Therefore you should, to a large extent, keep all forms of smoking to a minimum. Of course this does not mean you should never smoke a hookah again if it is an activity you enjoy occasionally.

Make hookah smoking a special and cozy activity

It can be really pleasant to smoke a hookah now and then, and there can of course still be room for that as long as it doesn't get out of hand. It can be a good activity with friends when you gather and relax, and it doesn't have to be every single time you are with friends that you bring out the hookah. In this way, smoking a hookah can be kept as a cozy and more special activity, so it doesn't just become part of the everyday routine. Thus it also becomes an activity you do not occupy yourself with and become dependent on doing often.

Choose nicotine-free tobacco

If you are going to smoke a hookah, there are fortunately also better alternatives to the tobacco you use. For example, you can choose tobacco from ICE Rockz, which is a kind of gel that works as tobacco when smoking a hookah. It is gelled glycerin and works perfectly as an alternative to hookah tobacco, and it is completely nicotine-free. So it is a healthier choice than many other types of tobacco, since you avoid both nicotine and tar.

Another product with the same benefits that you can use is True Cloudz tobacco. It is a kind of cream that comes in a wide array of different flavors. It is easy and simple to use, and it is likewise nicotine-free.

"Everything in moderation" principle

Just as many Danes drink a little alcohol or eat fast food and other less healthy things occasionally without doing it day in and day out, you can for example choose to smoke a hookah now and then. This way it doesn't become a daily or large-quantity habit. And when all is said and done, we choose how we want to live ourselves, and as long as you can keep the less healthy things to a minimum—and thus still enjoy them occasionally—it's most likely not something that will ruin you. It's simply a good idea to be aware of the effects that the different things you consume have on your body, so you can balance them with the rest of what you choose to take in.

If you are interested in trying a hookah now and then, you might choose a smart Aladin hookah, an El-Badia hookah, or one of the beautiful MYA hookahs, which are also great to have on display as decoration because of their unique and stylish design. A hookah can therefore be used for more than just smoking, and you can advantageously use them as decoration on the days you don't smoke.
