What The Heck Is Happening With The Hookah Tobacco

Hookahs uses a very unique type of tobacco that is not found in any other cigarettes brands. It is, traditionally, a damp blend--called tobamel or maassel--of fresh tobacco leaves with molasses or honey and semi-dried fruit or fruit pulp. Some smokers put in a little bit of fruit juice or rose oil for added flavoring.
Later, hookah tobacco was also mixed with fruit extracts, and in the 1980s tobacconists began experimenting with various flavors, so that now a virtual smorgasbord of highly aromatic hookah tobacco is widely available. Though a few smokers opt to stick to the strong Turkish tobacco, many people always go for those flavored tobaccos, also called Shisha. The mixtures of flavored tobaccos are actually derived from some f the following items: watermelon, jasmine, honey, apple-mint, cherry, and apricot.
The price for each special pack generally range from $4 to $17 while assorted packs is priced at around $30. The price in most lounges for a bowl of hookah tobacco ranges from $4 to $9 for slower burning leaf or custom blends. As hookah tobacco has high moisture content, it is smoke using hookah charcoal.
Instead of being directly lit, hookah tobacco is heated with a coal placed wire mesh to dry the moisture.
Each bowl of this wet tobacco lasts a long time, usually requiring several replenishments of the charcoal. This drying process was also observed by ancient hookah smokers.
Normally, hookah products are composed mainly of 70 percent fruit flavored molasses and the drying methods used to damp the product. Most hookah do not contain any tar at all with just a little bit of nicotine.
The carcinogenic tendency of hookah is addressed by the fact that it does not employ any direct lighting. Researches revealed bigger chances of people who smoke hookah to contract smoking problems.
Although considered as ultra light and mild, hookah tobacco still poses heart risk among people.

If you really don't know me by now, I'm Jay and I really prefer shisha tobacco because it is excellent.  Check out some the day after tomorrow.

Hookah Tobacco

The tobacco used in hookahs is different than that associated with cigarettes, or, indeed, any other form of smoking. It is, traditionally, a damp blend--called tobamel or maassel--of fresh tobacco leaves with molasses or honey and semi-dried fruit or fruit pulp. Some smokers would add pomegranate juice or perhaps rose oil to the water, which added flavor to the smoke. Later, hookah tobacco was also mixed with fruit extracts, and in the 1980s tobacconists began experimenting with various flavors, so that now a virtual smorgasbord of highly aromatic hookah tobacco is widely available.

While some hookah smokers still prefer a strong Turkish tobacco, many delight in the large assortment of flavored tobaccos, often called shisha. The dark, wet mixture comes in flavors ranging from apple, cherry, apricot, and watermelon, to rose, jasmine, vanilla, honey, and licorice, with more exotic blends beyond that, such as lemon-cola, cappuccino, apple-mint, and a list of custom blends that is nigh on infinite.

Prices for packaged tobacco range anywhere from $4 to $17 depending on quality, and a variety pack of flavors might cost about $30. The price in most lounges for a bowl of hookah tobacco ranges from $4 to $9 for slower burning leaf or custom blends.

Since hookah tobacco is very wet it must be smoked using a hookah charcoal. Rather than being lit directly, the tobacco is heated with a coal placed on tinfoil or wire mesh above or in the bowl holding the damp mixture. Each bowl of this wet tobacco lasts a long time, usually requiring several replenishments of the charcoal. In the past, among those rituals and traditions surrounding the lighting and smoking of the hookah, or narghile, were strict prohibitions against lighting the tobacco incorrectly--or even allowing a cigarette smoker to light their cigarette off of the hookah coal.

Hookah tobacco is generally only 30 percent tobacco and 70 percent fruit flavoring and molasses or honey. It contains .05 percent nicotine and most types contain no tar. Because the tobacco is heated, rather than actually burned, studies have shown that there are fewer carcinogens produced in hookah smoke than in other forms of smoking. However, concerns about the length of time smokers generally spend around a bowl of hookah tobacco do warrant consideration, and studies have shown that carbon dioxide intake is actually higher in hookah smoking. Though mellower and less carcinogenic, hookah tobacco is still tobacco and the health risks remain. Hookah tobacco should only be smoked by adults over 18 years of age, and then smoked in moderation.
