AP) -- Water-pipe smoking may pose the same health risks as cigarettes, the World Health Organization said Tuesday, adding that more scientific research was needed into the link between hookah use and a number of fatal illnesses.

mmmm, i had a go on one in Egypt - lovely Apple tobacco - it had no drugs in it (mores the pity!!) but it was very relaxing in deed- mellows you right out!! but very social in certain countries and Egypt it was a very normal thing- wonder if they all suffer from 'fatal illnesses' since the majority of men over there smoke it every evening is there a high fatality rate in Egypt especially among men??!!

its a cool way to smoke. its my heritage, one of the best ways to smoke, weed is awesome on it, lol

edgeware road in london, has many places where you can smoke it, all flavours from apples, coffe, strawberry. my bro brought one back from india, and gave it to his italian mate, all over the world, hookah/sisha is known. bongs are cool derivative also, lol

[lumukanda]

i love my hookah, the smallest amount of weed in it lasts forever, and all the flavours of tobacco you get, the best way to smoke.

me, my girlfriend and a hookah at a pub in cape town. it was a long night.

[synergy777]

lumukanda, i didn't know you were white, especially with stuff you posted, it is a very nice surprise, nice 1 bro. now thats what i call a pub, seeshah/hookah and cold ones, lol

[lumukanda]

yep, i'm white, long ago i decided that if i'm going to call myself an african in any way shape or form, i must look into the continent i live on.
once i got just a peak behind the crap presented to me at school as african history i was hooked, to me there is no greater thrill than trying to piece together the true history of africa, what influenced africa and how africa influenced the world.
i must also add that the info that you bring to this forum almost always has me hooked lol.

I wonder what the WHO has to say about this type of smoking:

Well.. I do not know about it, lottie.

And me 2 ones.. I had an opportunity to taste the tabacco and see the water bubbling.. Very relaxing, true, and magical in a way.. brings in the poetry and memories.. Beauty too, like in this song > Desert Rose >
YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
I just love Africa!!

luma, bro we are all asiatic, grandmother africa, mother india and daughter europa. the nwo know this, thats why they venerate the east, all their masonic knowledge, customs, somes from africa/asia. they only have power due to the fact we as a people are divided. united we stand, divided we fall. when you add in science, history, linguistics, religion, culture it makes sense.

PILLOCKS, KILLJOYS!

Lookfar, Edit has taken some stick, being deaf makes me very aware of many things, not least the ability people have to communicate in SO MANY different ways, Edit uses visuals a LOT, his/her written words are few, if you open your mind to the many ways of communicating, you may see his messages more clearly, I was gonna start a thread but did not want edit to be or feel victiimised, no ill will intended

i agree man, see i grew up and still live in south africa, a country obessed (sometimes quite rightly so) with race. here, when people get caught up in arguments, or look for someone to blame, the kneejerk reaction is to bring race into it, often it's justified, often it's not.
when i undertook to change my outlook on the world, the ability to see beyond race was the first thing i worked on, i began reading everything i could find on african culture and tradition, as well as asking questions every oppurtunity i could.
i'll use a silly example, black people in south africa talk very loud, much to the annoyance of white people who generally don't, but once i learnt that in black culture here it's considered rude to speak softly, hushed tones are equated with backstabbing and gossip, so one speaks loudly and everyone can hear what you're saying, now that makes sense to me, i understand why.
we are all one people, amazing in our diversity, i see that as a strength, the NWO has seen it as a way of dividing us, and most of us fall into that trap.

africa, especially south africa has a mix, africans, asians and europeans. it is a wonderful mixture, east africa, eg kenya, south africa have huge asian populations. we all have different cultural traits etc, but these add to the rich tapestry of life.me being asian, we speak loud, and move our hands a heck of a lot. to others it looks like we are going ott, having a row, etc, but its just natural, expression. the women speak louder than the blokes, especially on telephones, sometimes i think they think, the louder they shout on the phones, the longer the distance it will travel, lol haven't mastered mics in phones, lol when they talk to india, no joke, they shout.

there are times to be formal etc, but not all the time. being formal all the time, just makes you cold, robotic. express yourself.

my fave thing with asian culture is the hospitality/loyalty. however all cultures have positive/negative traits, although fundamentally, they are basic human traits and not culturally exclusive. if all races/creeds etc work together in the nwo, then i think that is big hint to us, lol observe to learn, especially the enemey, its nwo reconaissance.

How enlightening, makes complete sense to me also, english people could learn much from this, and to get back on topic,

SMOKE SOMETHING IN A WATER PIPE :)

[lumukanda]

thats it right there man, they are human traits that we wrap up in all kinds of prejudice until we can't see shit. people are people, they come in different shapes and hues, but essentially want the same things, the important ones, food on the table, roof over the head, a healthy, happy family, no amount of propaganda from any side will change that fact.

luma, we on the same page bro.
