My friends and I recently smoked a hookah and I need some more information. Please help?!?

My friends and I recently went to a cafe and these guys at the cafe had a hookah. They let us smoke it and of course we did, but I only took about 5 puffs. It was very delicious and I plan to do it again soon. I just need some more information about it. If I only do it every once and a while are there very serious health risks involved? Or if it's more of a special thing I do every once and a while, will I be okay? Also, I just had a lot of dental work done (implants) and I am worried that it is going to stain my teeth. The more information, the better. Thank you in advance to everyone who answers.

    Don't listen to these people, they have no idea what they're talking about.

    I have been smoking for over 6 years, no health issues to speak of.

    When you smoke hookah, you're smoking flavored tobacco, the tobacco has no additives, they just use honey/molasses and flavoring.

    Shisha is evaporated, not burned, so there is little to no tar produced as with cigarettes.

    If you have any questions shoot me an email using the contact form on my site.

    My advice is: Don't. There is always a health risk involved with inhaling smoke. You may become addicted and will have problems on this account. Find other ways to relax and to fit in with other people. Develop your good traits and exercise, this will release stress. Smoking a hookah is a waste of your time.

    I'd talk to your doctor. Hookah has been shown to be worse than cigarettes. Actually a 45 minute hookah session is worse than a whole pack of cigarettes. The media just downplays it. Bottom line: talk to your doctor soon.

    It's really not that big a deal to do it once in a while. My family smokes it once or twice a week and were all fine lol also u dont have to inhale when ur smoking Aguili, which is just another word for Hooka :)

    You are smoking perfumed tobacco, and the risks are of course what ever risks go along with smoking tobacco, and whatever chemicals where used in the blend of tobacco used. Also, if you are sharing the inhaler tube, then there is a risk of catching whatever disease from who ever used it last.

    You like it right! But the thing is that you have already done dental implantation and now you should consult with your dentist about this habit. I really don't fully aware of that and what will be its effects. What I will advice you is like visit the dentist and ask about any sort of problem regarding this habit.
