[B]OK - Since everyone is asking for the hookah pics I'll post those and the high in the trees tripod shot.
BTW - The tobacco smoked from a hookah is ONLY flavored tobacco! Not any other drug/substance.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggghhhhtttt!

Just wondering.......
Did anyone suffer any reaction to smoking the hookah? I used to smoke ciggies, but stopped about 5 years ago, party due to all the colds I caught.
Then a year ago I went to a Persian wedding and really enjoyed the hookahs they had there. But damn, a day later I caught one hell of a cold/cough/sore throat that lasted about a week. The water makes the smoke so mild your lungs don't mind all the smoke, but my throat had a different opinion.

man o man, it is not the Hookah!!! I dont understand why there's a trip over hookah. You probably smoked poor quality tobacco. Its just like a cigar, if you smoke swisher sweets, its junk. But you get like some cubans or hawains, its better.. you know? But i dont know anyone whos got sick from my tobacoo or hookah for that matter... at least, not that I know of...
i'll tell you what, next meet, if you come Perry, I'll smoke you out

It's not a trip, and it's not the tobacco- it's the smoke.
I will never understand the logic of quoting an entire post when replying, especially when your reply is about to be placed right under the quoted post. Have some sympathy for the readers- it's bad enough that everyone has to read my idiotic posts in the first place- now you want them to read it again, kinda like as a warmup, before savoring your reply?
This wedding was in Beverly Hills and you could have bought a westside condo for the amount of money my neighbor spent on this affair, so poor-quality tobacco was not an issue. There were at least 3 of them going, and each one had a queue of would-be smokers waiting for an opening.
Those Persians are not ones to skimp on such stuff at such a wedding, wouldn't you agree, Persian?
No thanks on the rematch, either- I'll stick with my Macanudos, when they're on sale at www.JRCigars.com (Friday nights, 10pm Pacific Time).

PerryinLA..long time no talk!
About the hookah, one thing is that hookah hoses are shared between several people, and I've only seen restaurants or bars that give each person a new plastic tip for each visit. You may have caught some kind of cold, but now that I'm thinking about it, that's too short of an infection/incubation perdiod for a cold.
You're probably right, for the non-smoker, hookah smoke is practically unnoticeable when you're doing it. I've had some friends who don't smoke try and come out with a sore throat the next day. Most people tend to take huge hits at the same time also, hookah is (from what I understand) intented to be slowly smoked over longer periods of time, unlike cigarettes.

hi Lee! Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was caused by smoke irritating the throat and not from a germ-ridden tip (everyone was given their own disposable tip). I'm definitely sensitive to it (hence quitting the ciggies) so I was just wondering if others that don't regularly smoke had a problem, too.
I'm glad to hear no one did, and my use of the word "reaction" might have been misinterpreted- I didn't mean to imply there's any specific risk to using hookahs over other smoking methods.
As for me, I guess my days of inhaling huge hits of any smokable substance are over (but there's always brownies!).
