Shishas "more harmful than cigarettes"

I thought it had been a while since the last anti-tobacco (read: anti-fun) story so, in the spirit of silly season, the DoH duly obliges:

1) We know it's bad for you
2) Some people, dare I say it, actually enjoy it (I shared one on Friday night with my new ladyfriend and thoroughly enjoyable it was too)
3) Err,
4) That's it.
I'm quite intrigued as to how they propose to re-educate people as to the dangers of shisha smoking. Tobacconists aren't forced (yet) to plaster their shops with signs proclaiming the inherent dangers in their wares. Perhaps they could insist that one third of the pipe is given over to warning labels? Who knows, but I bet whatever it is, it will be draconian, ill-thought out and will give scant regard to rational, intelligent people who make a conscious decision to enjoy this legal activity because, God forbid, it may actually give the user some enjoyment.

I'm not surprised you felt dizzy. It's not meant to be inhaled.
Says who? It's purely preference.
Personally, I don't see the point of it unless you inhale it.
ahahahaha.
It's a pleasant social activity. Fnd it far more scocialble than smoking pot which lets be fair is a pretty unsociable drug.
As for the shisha...
No surprise really.
