Okay so, my friend does hooka. I know it's a drug, but it's legal if you are 19 or something...right? Well, she is 15 and her and some of her other friends went to the hooka bar. [never been there in my life cuz i'm not that kinda girl] She told me she wasn't gonna do it again, just a one time thing because she was curious...well, turns out she's doing it again next Saturday. And she was trying to entice me to do it, saying stuff like, "It was sooo relaxing, and it made you kinda dizzy. But then you went to the dancefloor and partied and everything, it was great!" and "you should try it, it would be cool of you." and I was just like..."nahh, I'm good." The I asked her if she was hooked on it, and she was like no...you can't get hooked on hooka. Is that true? [not that I am going to try it..ever.]
But now...you ahve to understand this, she has never been a druggie in her life! And she is now doing hooka, and she just told me that tomorrow she is trying weed. Like wtf, she is turning into a druggie, and I'm friends with some, so it's not like I'm against all of them, but why ruin your life? and why is she trying to get me to do all these drugs when I tell her NO?! I don't know why I'm mad at her, I feel betrayed, she said she wouldn't do that stuff, but next thing you know shes going to hooka bars and smoking weed. I need advice, I need SOMETHING, ANYTHING! comments or whatever would be great. thanks in super advance. (link)

I see a lot of people on this site telling you "it's okay, it's tobacco, it's not a drug." You have to remember that tobacco IS, in fact, a drug. Tobacco is simply a drug that is accepted by western society. In fact, Tobacco is more addictive than weed and thus more dangerous.
Hooka is safer than cigarettes on many levels and, while you do ingest more smoke, it is not as chemical-laden as cigarette tobacco and thus less dangerous. You do not ingest, as one article claimed, 100 to 200 cigarettes worth of smoke using a hooka. That would require a MUCH larger amount of tobacco and an intense amount of puffing.
To tell you the truth, weed is actually one of the most harmless drugs, mainly because it isn't physically addictive and doesn't encourage particularly frequent use like cigarettes. Marijuana and tobacco combined are a BAD combination. That is the major thing I would warn your friend about. Supposedly the combo is just a death sentence for your lungs. Besides that marijuana is actually less dangerous to handle than cigarettes.
