Scientists say restricting e-cigarettes wrong
The smoking industry usually comes in for a lot of flak from all corners and when there’s a new innovation, it’s unusual to see anyone actually backing it.

Consider a change in style – explore more shisha flavours!
I have a lot of friends who smoke cigarettes but I’ve never taken up the habit. I find the taste too harsh and that’s why I like to fire up the shisha.

There’s been a lot of news lately talking about a World Health Organisation report that apparently stated that one shisha session was the same as inhaling 100 cigarettes.

Why Smoking Indoors is a Bad Idea?
If I smoke a hookah pipe indoors, will the smoke alarm go off? I was in a Shisha Bar on Sunday (a hot day in March! Who’d have thought it!!) when someone brought up the subject of why we all have to sit outside. Admittedly we’re under a canopy, but we’re outside nonetheless and sunny…… Continue Reading
Hookah: A New Popular Trend
Is it legal to smoke a Hookah Pipe? This question comes up a lot and it’s no surprise because as the pipes are quite new to some cultures (especially in the UK), the hookah pipe is seen by some as a way to smoke things other than tobacco. I remember speaking to one person who,…… Continue Reading
