Hookah Bars...Health Risk?

[El Jugo Buen0]

I'm sure since most of you guys are young also, you've all heard of hookah bars. Anyway I love these places, I'd go there a few times a week if it wasn't so far. Are there health risks to smoking there? Is it as bad as a cigarette? How much would it effect my training?

I hate them..ppl act high or something but I've done it before and u feel lightheaded for like 5 minutes then it goes away.

They are tobaco but its not tar or added preserves. I go once in a while and I also have my own hookah. Tuti Fruti is the bomb flavor..

haha there was one of them near my house. I know police used to harrass the owner a lot because kids would cut school and go there and it eventually closed down. I personally could care less, although it is kind of an eye sore to see a bunch of dirty ass hippies playing hacky sack in a shopping center.

The water just makes it more fun cuz it bubbles and people are easily entertained. It filters it somewhat but it hardly does shit.
