Social? How the hell do you talk with a tobacco gas tube in your mouth?
You get 8-10 people around one hookah, puff puff pass. It's the same as hanging out normally, just with a hookah in the center of everyone.
What about lung cancer? And what about us asthmatics?
If you smoke hookah enough that you get lung cancer from it, you have a problem, just like you have a problem if your liver shuts down from too much alcohol. I've done it maybe a total of 3 or 4 times since I've gotten to college in September.
