The pill and shisha hookah tobacco

by ladmo, Sep 09, 2006 12:00AM
My girl friend is on oral birth control pills and was wondering if smoking shisha tobacco out of a hookah poses the same threats as smoking cigs, such as blood clots? I know that cigs have hundreds of more bad chemicals in them so I thought it would be a good question.



Thanks,

  it is a good question- and I have no idea what the answer is.

  You need to write a physician , and preferably someone who studies toxicology so they can assess what specific impact shisha tobacco out of a hookah could have.

This wouldn't seem to have a lot to do with sexuality and relationships.

I didn't know which section to put it in as there doesnt seem to be one related to birth control. If you dont have anything constructive to say please dont post anythig at all. I didn't ask which section I should put the question in, just an answer.

tobacco increases risk for blood clots on the pill no matter how she consumes it.
