What is up with you nikkas and hookah lounges?

[The Burger King]

I went a lot when I was in college until one of my friends was like “so rather than go to the club, you’d rather sit around in a close dark intimate space and take turns putting a pipe in your mouth with other men? ”

Since that I stopped going, plus herpes hasn’t gone anywhere.

Hookah / Shisha been popular for decades. I remember my first was 2014 when I was on vacation in Greece, my ex introduced it to me

Coli always late af You nikkas really don't go outside

So 1 person equals the coli, which includes you too.

Once again, people will type or say anything. SMH

Hookahs

See data and statistical information regarding Hookahs

shyt is disgusting.

When I learned one pull of hookah is equivalent to 7 (maybe 10) cigarettes, I left it alone. That was almost 15 years ago.

Now, I'm more scared for these kids out here spreading herpes via hookah lounges.

They thought they were being safe too.

Nurse warns herpes can be spread from smoking hookah

In this case, maybe sharing isn't caring. Smoking hookah is normally a social function. But a nurse says putting your lips on a passed around pipe can come with serious health consequences.

What is this 2018?

Right
I'm pretty sure I was done going to hookah spots by like 2010. I live in a major city though. The rise in popularity could be different regionally I guess
Honestly surprised it's still going strong

Hookah was a thing two decades ago

Was never a fan, never saw the point of it

Then again I smoke weed so who am I to judge?

hookah was around in 2004?

hookah was around in 2004?

Absolutely bro

Probably longer than that but I was still in undergrad at that time and I distinctly remember someone breaking out a Hookah at a kickbyke we were having and when someone asked "Aye can we throw some weed in there" ol girl got upset like "Uhhh it's not a bong"

We left

The appeal was the lounges are usually nicely decorated, have couches and more intimate / not as loud as a club

Why do some people call it hookah and other's Shisha?

Over here we know it as shisha because all the Arabs and Islamic people out here smoke it from time.

I've been to a few but it's not really for me, I don't smoke and I'm not the type to sit around just to stunt. Also back in the day (10 years ago) you couldn't talk to girls like that, most of the people who go to them here are Muslims, and don't do wanna be seen doing Haram shyt or stuff that can get you judged (Muslim women talking to non Muslim guys)

But I understand the appeal culturally.

That's the fukked up thing about culture, once the masses flock to something it's automatically tainted. Not far of a stretch but this is why going out to clubs IMO is ass now compared to back then.

Another funny thing is, history repeats itself. To your comment "type to sit around just to stunt"

The first hookah in the form we know today dates back to 16th century India at a time when Indian glass manufacturing began as a result of the exporting of glass in India through the British East India Company. During this period, smoking tobacco also became popular amongst the noblemen in high society. In an attempt to purify smoke through water in a glass base called a “Shisha”, the Hookah was invented. These rough iterations of the now classic design featured wooden shafts with a secondary shaft affixed to the heart to smoke from. With this design in place, Hookah soon cemented itself as a way for noblemen to show their high social status.

Once upon a time you could smoke in stores and restaurants and people were then new laws kicked in

Now people kinda sorta have a dissonated spot and people are still lol
