Question by : I’ve been smoking hookah tobacco for a few days, have I damaged my lungs or brain?
these are the first few days I’ve smoked, I took small hits, and I want to stop, I’m only doing it because me and my friends are bored. But I feel it’s important that I stop. Has anything happened to my brain or lungs? and is it mild or severe?

Hi Dan,
I wish I could say no but in all fairness you probably have done a small amount of damage to your lungs, minimal to the brain. I am pleased to note that you have decided to take corrective steps before you became addicted to hookah.
Well done for making the right choices. I hope you can resist the social pressure and the “minor addiction” and be able to give this up.
You will be able to make a FULL RECOVERY within one month. Good luck.

Hookah has nothing harmful in it. Hookah does not get you high it does not coat your lungs with tar. It is something that you inhale and if you are taking the smoke into your lungs you are damaging them but no more than breathing second hand smoke. There is nothing wrong with smoking hookah except for the smoke that you are inhaling. Anyone that tells you different doesn’t know what they are talking about. If you read the box that the molasses comes it it tells you that it is not addicting, has no tar in it and other facts. So yeah you have probably done a small amount of damage but no you are not going to get addicted or die from lung cancer from it after just a few days of smoking it.
