Idk I smoked a hookah once and I didn't think it was too bad. After like 19 or 20 years old you have an extremely low chance of becoming addicted to cigarettes, so I would guess the occasional hookah would be okay. I went with my boyfriend because he quit smoking, so it's a good way for him to allow himself to enjoy the feeling of tobacco every once in a while. I'm no expert though. :) Enjoy.

Answerer The effects on me are that it makes everything look prettier in a lightheaded kind of way. Things that looked ordinary to me when I walked in looked mysterious and pretty and stylish when I walked out... Except for the people who looked really old from smoking, they still looked bad. For me it seemed like a nice escape, something to take your mind off worrying and worries, but not something you can rely on all the time for an escape. - 4 months ago

i tried it quite a few times...its overrated, doesn't get you addicted its just a fun social thing...im not sure about how bad its for you, I was fine after, just kinda light headed...but then again I puffed it may be like 10 times and that's it...which isn't much, if you puff it for hours and hours than its bad...

Answerer Its ok to have it occasionally
Don't use it it daily, you can get addicted, and it'll harm you after a long time.
Occasionally, it won't matter.

Have fun.... - 4 months ago

I need some stress relief

You'll be absorbing nicotine link in high quantity.
_____________ quote:
Quit smoking cigarettes: Nicotine cessation
...
When nicotine deprived and non-deprived smokers were allowed to smoke a cigarette, mood improvement only occurred in deprived subjects, who were, due to withdrawal effects, already suffering from poor mood.
...
But nicotine is a cholinergic agonist with stimulant rather than sedative properties. Quizzically, users report that smoking reduces their stress. ...

____________________ (end of quote)
There are many healthier ways to get rid of stress: sports, books, movies, walks, girls, meditation.
Your doctor too can prescribe you something less addictive and healthier than nicotine against stress.
It will not contain nitrosamines either.

Only the health risks of whatever you're smoking, though you do mitigate some of the heat-related problems.

P.S.: Try meditation for stress relief. It's chemical-free.

If you're talking about tobacco...yes, it's bad for you. If you're talking about the other thing...the only thing bad is that it's smoke in your lungs..but in moderation..it's much healthier than tobacco.

jacquesvol There will be nicotine , bad enough, and nitrosamines:

and in much higher quantities than cigarettes (I read estimates about an evening waterpipe being equivalent to 100 cigarettes = 5 packs.) - 4 months ago

You're inhaling much more nicotine (and nitrosamine) than with cigarettes.
Very unhealthy thus.
