Hookah can give a lot of carbon monoxide, 60 minutes of hookah session containing 8 times more carbon monoxide than a single cigarette.

There is also research from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine shows that smoking hookah for “one session” delivers 25 times the tar, 125 times the smoke, 2.5 times the nicotine, and 10 times the carbon monoxide compared to a single cigarette.

This is a serious situation, and if you are a user of hookah, you should find a way to limiting the carbon monoxide and other toxical gas so it will not harm you or even other people who are near in your area of smoking.

Limiting carbon monoxide and other toxical gas, it can also save the world environment even though it is a little contribution, but it is needed.

So okay maybe you already understand and said ” yes I get it, now, how to limit carbon monoxide in hookah?” If that’s what’s in your mind, then you are right to clicking this article.

If you smoke indoors, you can smoke in a the room that has a wide ventilation so that the gas or carbon monoxide will not be stuck in your room and it can limit your carbon monoxide in one room, but again, it is more recommended if you smoke outdoors, so that the smoke will not be stuck in a room for hours.

3. Use natural charcoal


If you still use chemicals quick lighting charcoals, I recommend you stop using it. And start to use coconut charcoal briquettes because on the side of medicine, making the switch to coconut charcoal briquettes also can rocket improve your quality of hookah experience.

Let’s talk about the flavor aspect, with quick lighting charcoal, because it haves chemicals it will make the flavor of your hookah will decrease and not be fresh. And it can eliminate your smoking quality and taste.

For the health aspect or medication aspect, quick-lighting charcoal is a toxic gas and emits more carbon monoxide from the chemicals. It is also not good for your health especially for smokers and also for the people around you or even kids and baby.

So is coconut charcoal briquettes safe?
The answer is no if there are no chemicals around it.

Coconut charcoal briquettes also more safer because they have less ash content, so it will be safe for food and your house from burning out.

Coconut charcoal briquettes also contain no smoke (from the charcoal) and ODOR, with no smoke (from the charcoal), the carbon monoxide will be less and healthier for your breathing.

This product is also environmentally friendly because if you care and want to contribute for a greener and better world, coconut charcoal briquettes can save trees.

The filler from coconut charcoal briquettes like tapioca flour it’s safe and not containing any other gas or causing the food becomes bad. This is the reason why shisha smokers loving it as their smoke fuel, and also this product starting to reach the grill market because it gives more safety and still brings high-quality for their food.
