So I don’t know much about shishas at all, I haven’t even seen one so far in my life, mainly because the shisha culture hasn’t really hit Ireland yet.
I could just google it but why don’t you guys educate me on what shisha really is? What chemicals is the thingymajig that you smoke made up of and is it harmful? Can you get high by smoking shisha? o_O
Re: Shisha culture
Alreeet? hahah
Sheesha is just like hookah? There are different flavours mostly fruit. So, in essence you're smoking fruit. Lol. Nah, you can not get high but headaches a deffo. A sick feeling.
Its like smoking hookah but its NOT as bad as smoking cigarettes. Most would say it is but studies have proved otherwise..
Re: Shisha culture
I have tried it...didn't like it at all...don't know what the big deal is. I thought it was worse than ciggys!
Re: Shisha culture
I keep hearing about these flavours. Is that just tobacco with different additives for different flavours?
And Ceo, don’t be makin fun of d’accent! 
Aaliyah, yeah I heard it is the same as smoking 100 cigs. Is that just a myth?
Re: Shisha culture
I jst googled it…and it is still saying that Shisha is more harmful than Ciggs 
I had apple flavour once…
Re: Shisha culture
Does it taste like apples? 
You can tell how edumacated I am when it comes to shishas. 
Re: Shisha culture
Well it does contain tobacco without nicotine though. It is NOT worse then cigs there was a counter and more recent study to suggest it less harmful.
Barbie, I love the Irish accent and generally they’re cooler then the English.
There was another study done by a London based scientist he proved otherwise. It contains less harmful substances then cigs. I’ll try finding it if I can online.
Re: Shisha culture
Yeaaa...kinda has a tinge of apple flavour in it...
Re: Shisha culture
I don't know about the studies but shisha definitely does not feel as harmful as cigarettes. Also with cigarettes people who smoke will probably smoke a pack or two everyday, while shisha is generally not smoked with regularity or as a habit.
aaliyah you must've had a really crappy shisha to think it tasted worse than cigarettes, shisha feels far cleaner and tastes better, plus there is no odour.
Re: Shisha culture
And there’s many studies that say otherwise:
A more recent one (2009):
A recent blog (2010): http://billyuniversal.blogspot.com/2010/06/shisha-vs-cigarette.html
So yeah I don’t know which side is more accurate unless I go through all the literature in detail.
Top o’ the mornin to ya :roman:
The word tingle makes me wanna try it! 
Re: Shisha culture
I didn’t say it tasted better than Ciggs…I don’t like ciggs at allllllll…can’t stand them…I jst said I didn’t know what the big deal was…and that I thought it was more harmful than ciggs.
BTW ur nick…it jst clicked in me as to what it stands for
Re: Shisha culture
You did say it was worse than cigarettes
And my nick, I thought it would be pretty obvious. Puff and pass 
Re: Shisha culture
When I find that study it is more recent and was done by the best scientists from Imperial college. Which for me shows a better understanding and more credibility.
Its not morning though? :-
Where you from mainland Ireland? or Northern?

What you recommend?
Re: Shisha culture
pot? (and not the steel wala pot)
Leave the little island alone! 
I live in Luimneach and this is the last place you should consider for a holiday!
Re: Shisha culture
Lol, I was only joking.
I’ve never heard of your town/city. I live in Manchester (You’ve probably heard of it :p)
To be honest I merely wanted to visit Dublin. Nowhere else. Just to go over and check it out…
My main holiday will be in South America,
