Toyed with a hookah for the first time last week...

[EightySix Four]

I don't smoke anything normally, but I was out partying with some friends all last week during spring break, and there was a hookah (sp?) at the party. We were all drunk, and I knew for a fact it was just tobacco, so I was like why not. I have a puff, coughed, everyone laughed, the usual. I took probably 6-10 more "hits" of it and then stopped for the rest of the night. This was saturday night and I'm still coughing, not just the lil pansy coughs either, the deeper more "hoarse" coughs.


This normal for a first time smoker?


And no, I won't be doing that again.



Cliffs:
First time with hookah
deep hoarse cough ever since
kinda concerned

You smoked a hooker at a party? What kind of party was it? :Q

 

[jagec]

That's weird. I've smoked a hookah a couple times, and never had problems afterwards. I've never smoked cigarettes, so it's not like I'm "used to it".

You sure that was just tobacco? I thought the whole idea of a hookah was to be much smoother than pipes/cigarettes/cigars.

 

[EightySix Four]

It was smooth all the other times, just the first one got me. And yeah, I know it was tobacco, I know the people their and no one would have screwed with it like that.

definately expected that...

 

[thecoolnessrune]

You are such a fool its laughable OP :laugh:

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Hookah is supposed to be really smooth. I think they laced it with weed. =p

 

[TheoPetro]

I have done it a few times and if I inhale too quickly I will caugh but never the next day. I dont smoke other than that. I do it at a hookah bar though.

could be that is was not setup properly...

 

[EightySix Four]

After the first time they adjusted the stuff cause you could taste charcoal, was that most likely it?

No it's not normal.

You could have caught a cold from sharing mouthpieces.

And no, don't ever do that again.

You probably had a badly made hookah and inhaled some of the charcoal ash.

Agreed, the holes in the foil holding the charcoals were too big, and you probably inhaled too much of the charcoal (in little pieces).

hookahs are some of the cleanest and smoothest ways to smoke tobacco...no one should ever have a cough after smoking ANYTHING (even weed) more than a couple hours after you stop...something else is the problem...you might be sick or your body may be extra sensative to smoke..or someone else was sick and now you are too...go to the doctor if you cough ****** up (yellow, especially red)

 

[alimoalem]

man you guys should hang out with middle easterners more often...

OP, you probably just swallowed a small bit of tobacco or charcoal

there wasn't weed in it. u wouldn't *still* be coughing from that

 

[Chiboy]

It wasnt weed, weed wont burn right in hookahs. Trust the former pothead

If charcoal or tobacco gets past the water in a hookah, there is definitely something wrong.

A friend of mine is married to an arab chick(or rather, her family is from Egypt, she's about as Swedish as it gets, looks aside).
Her sister gave him a water pipe once, and we've smoked tobacco from that thing lots and lots of times, no one ever had any problems with that, so yeah something was probably wrong.

And no, I'm not a smoker, so I'm not used to it

By the way, first time I've ever heard the word "hookah", I thought it was some kind of gettho slang for "hooker" before I Googled it
