Is this safer than smoking cigarettes?

Much research has been undertaken regarding this topic. But from what I understand, you get much more smoke from a hookah than a cigarette. However it seems that the smoke is not nearly as harmful as it contains less than the cigarette smoke. Smoking hookah is obviously not good for your health, but since hookah is more of a social activity which is usually done two or three times a week, it is probably less harmful than cigarettes.

How do I clean my Hookah?

Take the entire hookah apart. Rinse out the hose thoroughly with water and wash the rest of the hookah parts. I suggest that every alternate week you place the hose in a bucket of hot water and leave it to soak overnight.

How often should I clean my Hookah?

Immediately after every use, otherwise, the smell and remainder of the previous smoke stays inside the Hookah and makes it much harder to remove.

What size bowl should I buy?

Size of the bowl depends mostly on the type and size of your Hookah. The size of the bowl also changes the amount of smoke you get out of the hookah. Smaller bowls usually give more smoke, but burn faster. Large bowls usually give less smoke and burn longer.
