E Hookahs are NOT bad. There is no tar, no tabaccoo, they are rechargeable, disposable, no need to clean, no lighting coals and all around easier to travel with. Some negative things about an Ehookah is that they are more expensive. Basically that is it. E hookahs are good for people who are trying to quit smoking. Eventually, I believe this technology will become better and more and more flavors and designs will start to happen. According to http://selfpoweredhealth.com/hookah-pens-safe/, ” a hookah pen is a device that delivers nicotine as a vapor to the user. ” This however, is not the same as a hookah. A real hookah uses a special type of tabaccoo.
I think in this post you did a bit too much skipping over why they are bad and skipped right to cost as the biggest drawback, when there are not many studies on the effects of neither e-hookahs or e-cigs. I think it is difficult to tell at this point because as far as I know, there are no real FDA studies on these types of products. I do agree with you that they are a good alternative to cigs for struggling quitters of smoking.
I feel your argument doesn’t give any reason to why they are harmless. Any advertisement can tell you there’s no tobacco or that they’re “easier to travel with.” But what about the nicotine that feeds the addiction must smokers suffer from? WebMD concludes we don’t know if they are directly harmful to our health, but they could cause artery problems and a possible risk for people with heart problems. The same article does conclude that it could get people to stop smoking, but ironically it could also be a gateway to cigarettes. The answer is inconclusive, and until there are more studies showing the pros and cons, we cannot say definitively that it is/is not good for you.

While they may not be addictive, they’re not necessarily good for you, inhaling smoke in any form has negative effects on our body, and most addicted smokers find very little to no relief in smoking such things. From what I can tell, E-hookahs are a sort of hobby for young adults turning eighteen to be able to fully experience the’re ‘adult-hood’ without smoking cigarettes. They seem a little pointless to me, but if it does keep people away from tobacco products that can be seen as a plus I suppose.
I have to strongly disagree with you on this topic. An e Hooka is still a device that puts foriegn substances and chemicals into your body that should not be there. I also agree with what Charlotte said, I do not understand how this can stop nicotine craving if it has none of it. You said they are good for people trying to stop smoking, but why are they good for people trying to stop smoking? I cannot seem to find any positive reasons to smoke an e Hookah.
Are you trying to argue that e Hookas will help people stop smoking? Isn’t it true that most smokers are addicted to nicotine and if this device has none of it I don’t see how that will prevent cravings. On the contrary, e Cigarettes are different I presume? Interesting blog just curious about a few things.
