So even though it's not as bad as a cigarette, you're exposed to it a lot more. Some of my friends from Turkey smoked a hookah for the entire weekend and had to be sent to the hospital. Smoking it through out the years gives you lung problems. But the way I live life, I say PHUK IT!!!! I'm sure by the time i'm old and gray, technology would be so good that lung problems, heart disease, etc, etc won't be a thing.

Never smoked a hookah but I've smoke cigarettes, cigars and a pipe and had a 4 pack a day habit for about 10 years. I use to hack up a lung every morning before my first cigarette. Actually ended up giving them up when I was found to have a heart condition. Apparently, the nicotine thickens the blood putting a strain on the heart.

The mayo clinic says smoking a hookah for an hour is like smoking 100 to 200 cigarettes and they say the hookah doesn't remove the toxins and nicotine. I guess your buddies nicotine level was so high it was probably lucky they didn't have their hearts stop from high blood pressure.
