gigi Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 http://www.ucsf.edu/news/2013/04/105236/smoking-hookah-not-harmless-alternative-cigarettes I'm not usually one to believe studies. But this one seems legit. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Not much scientific evidence or description of methods used. I'd like to know what brand tobacco and what kind of coals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigi Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 I emailed the researchers asking them specific questions. I will let you know when I get a response. This is the first study that I have actually paid attention too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 To be honest there are way better studies than this one that have abstracts, methods, everything and are like 25 pages long. That article basically just referenced a few things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Here's the only useful fact in that article: "The research was funded by the California Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program and by the National Institutes of Health." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Definite truth. Also, everything is okay, when done in moderation. Well, except maybe for hard drugs. They may be bad period, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 ah gigi, always coming up with health studies or scare questions. and we thought you was a troll before...... The study is bullshit. If its funded by an anti-smoking campaign its not only tripe but it casts doubt on every LEGITIMATE health study out there. Those thoughts clear enough?

kenshinx23 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 thats not a study, that a paper about the study. Papers about a study are normally not allowed to mention most of the data or methods used in the study. That information is normally paid for, by a subscription to the publishers.

PJCrusader Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I always thought this topic was pretty silly. Who in their right mind in the year 2013 can sit there and possibly think that inhaling smoke won't have any adverse possibilities? If you are very concerned about it, this may not be the hobby for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rani Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Tell you what..... When you come up with a study that proves to me I'll live forever if I give up all the bad stuff, I'll pay attention. In the meantime, perhaps huddling in a dark closet away from meat, sunlight, and just about everything else is the way for you to go, hmmm?

ihcake Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I personally have a hard time believing any sort of study that's funded by an "anti-smoking" organization or "cancer prevention" organization. Not saying they're bad groups but I think they'd be a little more biased. If the study were to show more scientific evidence such as the type of chemical and what not, then maybe I'd take it into consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
