However, research has shown that a one-hour session on a hookah pipe could produce the same amount of smoke and harmful toxins as 100 cigarettes. 'But a session of 30-60 minutes can provide the same amount of smoke as 50-100 cigarettes. 'Even if you forget about the smoke itself, carbon monoxide is produced in the water pipe.' After five hours of being in hospital the woman started exhibiting signs of a heart attack, although there was no chest pain or tightness. Nine hours later her heart had steadied, but doctors say the circumstances could have been much more grim due to how difficult is can be to detect carbon monoxide. Dr Wang continued: 'Carbon monoxide is a bit of a silent danger, it’s odorless, colours and not easily detected. Some of the complications of low oxygen exposure don’t really manifest immediately.

Gov. Tom Wolf proposes a 62.5 percent hike in the cigarette tax — already set at $1.60 per pack — as part of a broader budget plan. The governor wants to begin taxing e-cigarettes, cigars and smokeless tobacco too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the longest time, dippers have been given the "don't ask don't tell" treatment. If you ain't spitting all over the place and grossing people out, you would not be bothered. This is no longer the case in many places. Hell, I bet the airlines will start to crack down on it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
