Hookah nicotine is something worth knowing about if you smoke hookah. Its the stuff in tobacco that can give you a buzz. But heres the thing – not all hookah tobacco has the same amount of nicotine. It varies depending on the brand and type of tobacco. So, knowing about the nicotine in your hookah can help you smoke more responsibly and enjoy it safely.
Hookahs have more amount of nicotine then a single cigarette, because it contains lots of smoke, longer sessions, and much more.
In a typical hookah smoking session, smokers attain up to 1.7 times the nicotine exposure and up to nine times the carbon monoxide exposure as a single cigarette.
There is also a 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.
So, most likely hookah smokers will consume more nicotine compared to smokers who use cigarettes, this is something that you may need to be aware of especially for you who are active users, or people around you who get the smoke especially kids and babies.
Nicotine is an addictive substance that can damage your brain and other body parts. And it will not be good for your health in the future. Most people are think they don’t get any bad effects from the smoke, but it can in some period of times.
Nicotine can also make you feel addicted and feel exhausted, hookah also contains material similar to cigarettes such as tar, carbon monoxide, and more.
There are several ways to do this, but for me, the best way to mitigate this carbon monoxide risk is limiting your smoking. Because with no smoking, you will not produce any carbon monoxide from the hookah smoke and also can save other people such as old men or even kids and babies.
So here are several solutions and tips that you can use:
Some brands are mentioning that they have a low nicotine specification. But to know more, maybe you can identify it in the packaging description.
You can mix it with herbal for your tobacco, but maybe it will affect the flavour of your hookah smoke. So I recommend you do this solution once in a while, just for controlling nicotine in your mouth.
Always drink mineral water, because with drinking water, can help flush the nicotine in your mouth and it can reduce its effects.
Is there any shisha brand that has nicotine specifications?
Sadly, there is none. Getting a 0% nicotine level with traditional tobacco isn’t possible because nicotine is always in tobacco. But there are other product options, like using vapor pastes. These liquid products, such as hookahSqueeze, can be put on the hookah bowl and turn into vapor when heated by the coals. It’s a way to enjoy hookah without nicotine.
