Information about oka pipe (egyptian/arabic)?
Need some information/backround (health related) on the oka pipe. It originates from egypt I think.
Answers:
Ive never heard of it reffered to as oka pipe but other names for it are hooka, water pipe, bong, hubble bubbly, and shisha.
The concept is fairly simple you light coals over the tobacco and the smoke travels down a pipe to be filtered by water. Many people think this makes it safer or healthier than a cigarette or cigar. However this simply is not true. Someone else mentioned that the flavoured tobbaccos have no nicotine and no tar which is just rediculous and impossible. This is a common myth among Shisha smokers and Arabs form around the world. All Shisha tobbaccos contain some amout of nicotine and tar. Although the flavoured tobbaccos are generally a lower amount than one cigarette. For example I have a container in front of me right now which is an Apple flavour and it lists the following:
Ingredients Tobacco, Molasses Glycerine Flavouring
Nicotine: 0.05%
Tar:0.0%
In this particular one there is no tar because the tobacco is held together with molasses however it contains the same warning as cigarettes "Health warning: Smoking is a main cause of lung cancer, lung diseases and of heart and arteries diseases." Even without the tar you wil still have the addictive nicotine and you will still be inhailing carcinogens which are cancer causeing agents. The nicotine will bind to your cholinergic nicotinic receptors reducing the amount of receptors available for Acetylcholine(ACh) to bind to and greatly affecting your physiological processes just as cigarette smoking will do. Also smoking shisha generally results in a bout the same amount of nicotine being inhailing since shisha smokers tend to smoke the pipe longer using more tobbaco. Although the amount per serving is less becuase they tend to use more they will often end up inhailing about the same aboutns. Also if you are using a non flavoured regular tobocco for the Shisha you are inhailing the same amount or more of nicotine. Personally I think it's better to smoke shish occasionally than it is to smoake a cigarette all the time but neither is healthy and they are nearly as bad for you as the other however flavoured Shisha toboaccos do smell better that cigarettes and are smoother to inhale.
hi . im arabian but i dont know what inf. you want, simple you put water in it and on the top you put a tobaco and its mixed with sugar and frute flav. the smoke coming down into the water then to you . the water is very good filtter and it taste nice . nicot=0 but still unhealthy .
Hooka Orignally Was Invented In Ancient Persia, Which The Persian Travellers Introduced To The Indian Royal Courts, this inturn was taken by travellers on to the silk route and was introduced to the rest of the asian countries.
A Common Myth Among Non Hooka (Now Also Known As Sheesha) Smokers is that one round is equal to puffing 13 cigarrettes which is not true, if you smoke the flavoured tabacco. (For Ex: Grape, Strawberry, Mint, Lemon, Watermelon Flavors Etc.) These flavoured tabacco sheesha's contain 0% Nicotine & 0 % Tar, Therfore, are absoutely safe, for everyone to consume, however it is not recommended for childern under 18 years to smoke sheesha.
On The Other Hand, The Tabacco Sheesha Also Known As "Solum" Sheesha Or Baharaini Sheesha Have High Level Of Nicotine & 10 - 15% Tar, which is harmful, if you are a chain sheesha smoker.
