shisha

So I tried shisha for the first time last night, I was quite eager to, but I felt horribly sick afterward as if I was wasted from alcohol. I held it in but when I got home I started vomiting a load of black sooty-like stuff with a few drops of blood. I don't smoke usually, and I did feel light-headed from shisha at first but after that I just felt like I needed to puke. Now, the morning after, I seem fine, but its kinda bizare for just a shisha thing - after all its just a bit of tobacco in dense smoke? Is this normal?

If there was blood in your sick then you should probably go to the hospital. I have has shisha before and I liked it and never had any after effects. It's much milder than tabacco.
maybe it was some allergic reaction. go to see a doctor in any case

It makes me feel light headed aswell and if I have too much also makes me feel sick. like you I dont smoke either so maybe thats why, we're not used to it possibly?

posability that you can get head rush from smoking too much and it might make you feel light headed. Did not think it happened as much with shisha as its very light.

But the blood is bad go and see a doctor if i was you.

It wasn't a lot of blood or anything, it was just very small pink drops, I assumed it was blood as it couldnt have been anything else... I'd see a doctor but I'm fine now, it was just last night after the shisha... it was really weird.. I usually feel like that after like a funfair ride or a dizzyfying game... I've tried normal cigarettes before but that was fine...

maybe you're right, cos I'm not a usual smoker it must have been too much for me... or maybe something else... i hadnt eaten all day yesterday either, well at least I know shisha's not my kinda thing now... thanks everyone

Hey... dont worry about it. It sounds like you smoked too much of it, and carried on smoking till the tobacco was all burnt, thus smokin dirt. And u will always get dizzy from smoking shisha. Its a good idea to share them rather than buy your own.

could be the molasses from the tobacco...sounds like you had a sh*tty shisha tbh and its leaked

sounds like a nicotine headrush :wink: its normal but it gets more concentrated in a shisha rather than a cigarette...you wont get the bad headrushs after your first few times :smile:

Phew thats quite relieving, I guess its pretty normal then...
Molassess from the tobacco? Mind you, I did have cherry flavour which is red...

and I did share it with my mate, not sure about smoking dirt, he carried on smoking the shisha at least 10 puffs after me, and he was fine... but it really did seem like dirt, all the black stuff, tis pretty sick..

Im not expert of shisha but it might have been the shisha itself and not sumthin with u. Did anyone else u were with have similar reactions? Were u in a proper shisha lounge or sumones house?
I've never smoked a cigarette but have never had a problem with shisha! Don't do it again...I guess?
sorry to be thick but what is shisha
shisha is flavored tobacco that you smoke out of a hookah. it's often found at middle eastern restaurants.
that doesn't sound normal :/ i'd stay away in the future. all i get is a light headrush.

When there is blood, there is something wrong.

First time users of sheesha will usually feel dizzy and throw up when they have it. Usually because when you smoke it, its a substitute for oxygen. When you have it again, make sure to breathe deeply afterwards and basically take in alot of air. But in the end, some people can take it, some people can't. If you always get dizzy and vomit from it, just quit having it.

Vomiting black sooty crap and blood isn't normal. The shisha was fuqqed up obviously.

I wouldn't recommend smoking sheesha in most parlours in England. And I don't usually recommend smoking sheesha in public places because they never clean the actual pipe (its full of grime, slime, disgusting crap from everybody who has used it in the past)

Sheesha is worse for your lungs than a cigarette is by the way.

middle eastern smoking of flavoured tobacco.
you probably made the holes in teh aluminium too big so there was lots of ash in the shisha.
Shisha makes you feel ligh-headed...you have the slight impression of being high and dont worry my first two times were horrible and i felt really sick too. Just dont breath it in so much for so long and try again (dont smoke it for long) Shisha is amazing and shouldnt be put aside!! :biggrin:
is it ilegal
