Stop doing this: You are messing around with the toughest of all addictions -- nicotine. It will creep up on you and make you a slave. Anyone who asks you to do hookah for "fun" is NOT your friend. The cancer risk is minimal at your love of exposure, but it has already robbed you of your peace of mind. Just stop.
