Adiga iyo weed intee ni kala geeyaa?

 

I like the guava flavoured...Tastes and smells better...I tried apple and double apple, both gave me terrible hangover the next day...Gosh, madaxaanba barkinta ka qaadiwayay...

 

Shiisha wa Sheeka wa Shaax...

I have just had Grapes flavour shisha. I know, its not good at all. Laakiin what I am sure is, that Shisha is not so addictive like the cigaretes. Jacaylbro, Hargaisa waxaan hubaa ama Somalia oo dhan inay Dubai ka shiishad cab badantahay. Markaa sawirkaas ma Hargaisaa kasoo sawirtay lool. Halkan, we go for shisha on week ends or 2 nights out of a week. And, I am sure its become a fashion type, though its ijurious to health. Anyhow, wax wanaagsan maaha.

 

PS:-

 

Sheekhoow, adigu miyaad iska daysay. Waatay guriga kuu taallaye??

[Jacaylbaro]

Isku qasab ??? ,,,,,, Inaalillaahi ,,, shaahaygaa igu filan

[Aaliyyah]

My advice to you guys is to stay away from smoking. Even if it is shisha.

 

Smoking is bad for your health. That isn’t rocket science, and for an educated person to smoke just shows how ignorant he/she is.

 

 

The other thing I wanted to mention is you gonna get kids one of these days and to quit smoking is hard as we all know. So, why smoke? Why create a problem for yourself? All for what? I know some people who smoke just to be cool?? In what way does smoking makes you cool?? Walahi it amazes me how naïve and ****** some of us can be. One my neighbors smokes like crazy, and she has young kids, I hate to go inside her house, you can smell the cigarette from her house.It pisses me off to see the type of environment she created for her young kids. This isn’t just about her health, but her kids as well.

 

People think twice, before you start smoking…..you don’t know what you are getting yourself into.

 

Those of you who smoke, do try to get help, it is never too late to change your life.As those of you who don't smoke, Keep it that way!!!

 

Till later.

That was sooooo high school...I must say, from what I can remember, I was never a follower...More like a leader...N'way, as for smoking, people who smoke stink and they don't know it...Uf...Some of them walahi smell like the homeless people on the streets...It is terrible...

 

Laakiin, c'mon, SHIISHA!!! Carafteeda baaban ku dawaqaa... It is not that bad, specially if you do it once in a blue moon...The last time went to the Shiisha place was in July, so that is not so bad...

The 10 Stages of Quitting

 

 

by Tom Ferguson, M.D.

 

Smokers tend to think of quitting as a huge, insurmountable obstacle. It's more realistic—and more useful—to think of it as a gradual, step-by-step process. Here's how to plan your course and what to expect along the way, along with some suggested activities to help you cope.

 

 

 

1. Think about cutting down/quitting

 

Talk to others about smoking. Observe how nonsmokers react to smokers. Observe negative aspects of smoking. Smoke in front of a mirror to see exactly what goes on when you smoke.

 

2. Seek more information about quitting.

 

Ask ex-smokers how they did it. Tell a friend you're exploring healthier alternatives to smoking. When you feel an urge to smoke, wait a minute before lighting up; experience the urge fully and think of other ways to respond to it. Reward yourself for becoming more aware of your smoking patterns.

 

3. Modify your smoking risk (switch brands, cut down, etc.).

 

Start a smoking journal and record when you smoke more or less than usual. Try stress-reduction techniques. Adopt a healthful new activity that's incompatible with smoking (swimming, dancing, etc.). Switch to a lower tar brand. Reward yourself for each risk modification.

 

4. Decide to quit (no date set).

 

Keep track of the number of cigarettes you smoke each day. Stop buying cartons; buy only one pack at a time. Identify your top cigarette triggers. Brush your teeth several times a day. List the reasons you want to quit. Switch brands every week, each brand being lower in tar than the last. Postpone every third cigarette. Ask family and friends for ways they can help you quit.

 

5. Set a quitting date.

 

Sign a stop-smoking contract. Sit in the nonsmoking sections of restaurants and airplanes. Prepare at least three responses to your top 10 cigarette triggers. Switch brands after every pack. Postpone every other cigarette. Cut back on alcoholic beverages. Set up a health bank. (Deposit a certain amount of money each week that you'll get back after you stay smokeless for a specified period of time. Or quit with a group; whoever remains smokeless after a specified period divides the kitty.)

 

6. Refrain from smoking for 24 hours.

 

Schedule healthful activities (walks, bike rides, fishing, etc.). Have your teeth cleaned. Send your favorite clothes to the cleaners. Discard all your ashtrays. Pamper yourself as much as possible.

 

7. Complete your first week as a nonsmoker.

 

Treat yourself to daily rewards (massages, hot baths, etc.). Avoid smoking and drinking areas. Notice how much better your food tastes. Continue to work on your cigarette triggers.

 

8. Complete your first month.

 

Begin a regular exercise program. Add one new stress-reduction technique to your activities each week.

 

9. Complete your first trimester.

 

Gently increase your exercise level. Treat yourself to a weekend getaway. Volunteer to help a smoker quit. If you've been using a nicotine replacement, begin to cut back.

 

10. Complete your first year.

 

Throw a party to celebrate!

 

 

 

During stages 1 through 5, you may find yourself in a state of profound and confusing ambivalence. Studies show that during this period a smoker's positive feelings about smoking do not disappear, although the negative feelings increase considerably. It is only after you actually quit that this conflict begins to ease.

 

One smoking researcher suggests you make a list of pros and cons of smoking. Chances are they will be fairly evenly balanced in stages 1 through 5. But after you have actually quit, the list of cons will get longer while the list of pros will get shorter and shorter—and gradually disappear altogether.

you smoke Shisha, and you are a mother. I am quite speechless!!...

 

You might say “ so what if I am a mother, am allowed to do as I please”…but from my perspective, if you are a mother you have to know what you are doing. After all, you are your kids' role model and they are looking up to you. You have to maintain perfection, or at least try so your kids can be guided to the right path.

 

Good guidance starts from home sister.

^Aaliyah, you can not be serious with your statement...It is so very juvenile, no offence of course, as I have respect you...

 

Just cuz I went there doesn't mean I smoked it...And even if I did, it is nothing for you to worry about, or judge the type of parent I am...Besides, what's big deal to you might not be a big deal to me...Smoking shiisha does not make one a bad parent...I am not a shiisha smoker, but those who do, it is their business and no-one else's...And I, in no way, feel they are less of a perant then I...
