EL Alamein said:Though not a pipe smoker I am an occasional cigar smoker. I don't know how it is with the pipe but the cigar is generally not to be inhaled. This practice negates pretty much most of the ill health effects of smoking, though not all. But all are significantly reduced. Everything, I mean everything carries risks. In moderation the vast majority of the population will suffer no ill effects from cigar smoking. And of course the second hand smoke argument is pretty much debunked so there's no risk to anyone else either. So don't be afraid to try something that can add a little joy to your life just because there are some hysterical people out there that despise it. Just my 2¢.

Alex,AJS said:Greetings from a fellow Hookah lover. Have you seen the High Life range of glass hookahs? They are marketed mainly for those who enjoy "alternative" combustibles, ahem, but to cover themselves legally they market a range of flavoured tobacco blends. Although their product smells a lot of better than it tastes, being made of glass with large diameter bowls they smoke very smoothly indeed. Their charcoal also burns very cleanly, not that that makes much difference but I'll take any advantage I can get in the war against smoking related diseases. Also have you ever tried putting a hookah in the fridge and then filling it with ice water, it is an incredibly pleasant sensation, even for someone like me who doesn't particularly enjoy smoking.
Warm regards,
Alex

Wonderful to have a bowl in the middle of the woods the Lake Michigan just a few feet away.
Sam Adams and a nice Latakia blend are the stuff of legend.... <sigh>
