How many cigarettes are equivalent to a bowl of hookah?And which is worse for you?

Answers:

-hookah is cooler, cleaner smoke, but no "real" filter
-cigarettes have more harmful chemicals, but they have filters.
-hookah has less nicotine and chemicals, but have honey and other products that can be unhealthy and leave junk in your lungs (dont use anything other than water in the base of your hookah, youll just put more unhealthy fumes into your lungs)
-cigarettes are more addictive..
-hookah is a slow, less convient smoke, so people don't get hooked easily.

it depends on you, if u just smoke a bowl once a week, it wont even compare to cigarettes. But like anything, too much will result in a unhealthy situation

Answer 2

Hookah tobacco doesn't have all of the crap that prepackaged cigarettes do. This is why some people prefer to roll their own. A lot of companies will sell natural tobacco that hasn't been doused in pesticides and other funky chemicals.
The problem with cigarettes is when you burn them, you breathe in bits of chemicals and tar.
The problem with clean tobacco is you breathe it in for a longer amount of time.
However!
With a hookah, the smoke has time to cool, so you're not burning your lungs as bad.

I'd say, honestly, a hookah's healthier if you're going to smoke.
And since it's only once a week, you're fine. Some doctors often recommend smoking a cigarette a day for some people.
