A little Survey about Shisha and "Laughing Gas"


SHISHA

Chloroethane


Shisha and we so called "laughing gas"(Chloroethane) are some discourage things that we are doing these days.


Let's start with Shisha then.


Some think that shisha is worse then smoking cigarettes, but some think that shisha is much healthier..how true, I don't know..

An Egyptian hookah (shisha) with a wind cover over the bowl.
A hookah or shisha (Arabic: شيشة‎) is a single or multi-stemmed (often glass-based) water pipe smoking hookah has gained immense popularity, especially in the Middle East and is gaining popularity in the USA, UK, Canada, and elsewhere. The hookah operates by water filtration and indirect heat. It is used for smoking herbal fruits and tobacco, and is often considered to be healthier than smoking cigarettes.

Each hookah session typically lasts more than 40 minutes, and consists of 50 to 200 inhalations that each range from 0.15 to 0.50 liters of smoke.
There's a myth that the smoke is filtered by the water. The water used in the hookah bowl is often thought to have some filtering function as well as cooling and humidification of the smoke product.However, it is not true.Despite all these beliefs, smoking hookah in fact causes the same amount of risks as smoking a cigarette.

Chloroethane

Chloroethane or monochloroethane, commonly known by its old name ethyl chloride.

Ethyl chloride is a recreational inhalant drug, sometimes referred to as "Duster". Similar to poppers, ethyl chloride is used as an inhalant (huffed) during sexual activity for an intense several-minute-long high that results in a prolonged orgasm.
Ethyl chloride is the least toxic of the chloroethanes.=)
