The apparatus looks very enticing and chic.This issue has been debated on since 2006.
In 2009 Malacca imposed a ban but operators couldn't care a damn.
It made the news again when the Health Ministry issued some press statements more so when the righteous capital of Kota Baru followed the U.A.E in banning the addicitive vessel.
In the meantime many have gotten hooked,the sellers have a strong online presence not being subjected to any forms of control and more youngsters will be experimenting with it since it looks so cool.
Heck there's even a facebook page that's been set up to defend the pipes.
Just what are we gonna do about it?Nothing as usual.
So let's just say you are a non believer and want to fill your lungs with more toxicity and tobacco purity than a measly ciggey.Just so you think all those graphic pictures the ministry forces them companies to show are for wussies,where you can get them in Penang?
Oh just about any place where there's a university or a congregation of college students and the tourist belt.To be specific it is
1.Hammerbay
2.Shops between Tesco and USM
3.Batu Feringghi
4.Gelugor
5.Outside the Snake Temple
Which of the above is the cheapest outlet?Please attach a rubber hose to a Kancil exhaust pipe let it filter past an aquarium (cheapest would be stolen goods from Lorong Kulit)and inhale.
Before you decide to embark on the Marlboro man's journey,here are some very boring but bare facts plucked from the NST.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sheesha is properly known has hubble bubble is much much dangerous than cigarettes because it has more monoxide than cigarettes. Properly there has not been vast research on sheesha but it is very dangerous than cigarettes . The tests were conducted by Laboratoire National d\'Essais (LNE) on three types of shisha: shisha with self-lighting carbon used in small amounts, self-lighting carbon used in large amounts, and natural carbon shisha used in small volumes.
The laboratory used the three parameters that are measured when analysing smoke on a packet of cigarettes: the amount of tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide.
For 70 liters (16 gallons) of smoke produced by the shisha, the small amount self lighting carbon tar results were measured at 319 milligrams, 32 times the legal European limit for a cigarette, while the large amount self-lighting carbon measured at 266 milligrams, 27 times the cigarette limit, and the natural carbon measured at 1,023 milligrams, a 102 times more than a cigarette.
Carbon monoxide measurements fared badly as well, as tests indicated that the carbon measurements from the three types of shisha came to 17 times the normal cigarette limit, 15 times, and 52 times the limit.
The self-lighting carbon in both large and small amounts for nicotine measured about one cigarette per shisha, while the natural carbon was the nicotine equivalent of smoking six cigarettes. The health ministry warned the entire arabs that sheesha is much more dangerous than cigarette .
A SMOKING ban should not be applied only to cigarettes but also shisha, a flavoured tobacco water pipe popular with Malaysians.
According to Associate Professor Dr Nabilla Abdul Mohsein Al-Sadat of Universiti Malaya, 1.5 per cent of women in Malaysia currently smoke but this number could rise to 18 per cent by 2014 if there are no barriers placed on shisha smoking.
Last week, the United Arab Emirates tightened the noose on smoking in public with new regulations that ban smoking in hotels, cafes and restaurants. It has also imposed stricter limitations on the widely used nargileh (shisha), the traditional .
