What exactly are the substances contained in shisha tobacco?
963757
According to Wikipedia, shisha and hookah are synomomous, so I found a good article about hookah that should answer some questions.\n\n"The most commonly-used hookah tobaccos (known as tobamel or maassel) are produced using a 1:2 mixture of shredded tobacco leaf mixed in with a sweetener such as honey, molasses or semi-dried fruit. Originally, tobacco was mixed with one of these sweeteners to form jurâk, a moist, flavorless tobacco. The fruit-flavored hookah tobaccos popular today got their start in the late 1980s when Egyptian tobacco companies began experimenting with flavored tobacco as a way to sell more of their products to women.  \n\nContemporary manufacturers have begun to use glycerin as the primary sweetener in hookah tobaccos because of its humectant qualities and subtle sweetening properties that accentuate the various tobacco flavorings. Today, shisha tobacco is often mixed with dried fruit, natural extracts, and artificial flavorings to produce a varying assortment of tobacco flavors, including: apple, strawberry, rose, mango, cappuccino, vanilla, coconut, cherry, grape, banana, kiwifruit, blueberry, Arabian coffee, mixed fruit, watermelon, cantaloupe, cola, lemon, apricot, peach, white peach, licorice, orange, mint, and even bubblegum. This proliferation of flavors is rather new, starting perhaps in the mid-1990s."

Hmm.  Well, in Safety Education a million years ago, I learned cigarette *smoke* contains hydrogen cyanide, among other yummy things.

pharmaceutical glycerin is the base ingredient of most smoke machines.  I think 1 part to 10 parts water.

Among other things in feces, there are materials containing hydrogen sulfide and other organic sulfides as well as low molecular weight organic acids such as caproic acid (Caproic is take from the Latin word for goat), Putrescine, cadaverine and a host of other unappetizing substances. Sulfur itself has no odor.

Open a bottle of whiskey. Drinking alcohol is ethanol, CH3CH2OH. Vinegar is acetic acid (more properly known as ethanoic acid), CH3COOH. Nail polish remover is mostly acetone, CH3COCH3.\n\nOf course, all food, plants, and even yourself contain loads of organic compounds.

Nicotine is an organic compound, an alkaloid found naturally in the nightshade family of plants, such as tobacco and tomatoes. It constitutes 0.3 to 5% of the tobacco plant by dry weight, with biosynthesis taking place in the roots, and accumulates in the leaves. It is a potent nerve poison and is included in many insecticides. In lower concentrations, the substance is a stimulant and is one of the main factors leading to the pleasure and habit-forming qualities of tobacco smoking. Nicotine has limited carcinogenic effects, inhibiting the body's ability to destroy potentially cancerous cells; however, nicotine does not promote the development of cancer in healthy cells.\nthere are lots of websites which give assisstence and help regarding  overcomming addiction\nhttp://narcosis.proboards21.com/\nhttp://my-addiction.info/Four_Stages_of_Breaking_an_Addiction_Caryl_Ehrlich.html

Secondhand smoke contains twice as much tar and nicotine per unit volume as does smoke inhaled from a cigarette. It contains 3X as much cancer-causing benzpyrene, 5X as much carbon monoxide, and 50X as much ammonia. Secondhand smoke from pipes and cigars is equally as harmful, if not more so.\n\nSecond hand smoke is a toxic cocktail consisting of poisons and carcinogens. There are over 4000 chemical compounds in second hand smoke; 200 of which are known to be poisonous, and upwards of 60 have been identified as carcinogens.\n\nWhen a cigarette is smoked, about half of the smoke is inhaled / exhaled (mainstream smoke) by the smoker and the other half floats around in the air(sidestream smoke).\n\n No one should be forced to breathe in air tainted with cigarette smoke.

A square is a normal cigarette, a smoke is generally  marijuana.  Gangsters think the users of drugs are idiots and don't often use any of the addicting drugs.  Marijuana is not an addicting drug.  Yes, one does get a buzz from tobacco, its very short tho.

Nicotine is found naturally in the nightshade family of plants.  It is a potent nerve poison and a natural insecticide.  The nicotine acts as natural defense in the plants.  These plants are indigenous to North and South America, so they never really came to the US.  They were always here.  Tobacco did become an important crop during Colonial America if this is what you are asking.

The tobacco companies are NOT ADDING these chemicals.  The chemicals are simply by products of the chemical process involved in burning anything....\n\n"truth.com" tv ads seem to leave out that part, I belive they chould be called "half-truth.com" because they give just enough information to make tobacco look evil, and leave out the fact that this is a natural occurance of the burning process.\n\nPlease do some unbiased research (forces.org)...then take a look at why they are doing this....

Impossible to determine exactly, but it certainly appears to contain at least a suspension.  Remember that a substance can be suspended in a solution...\n\nThere's also a possibility that the bottle contains a super-saturated solution, with undissolved substance as a sediment at the bottom of the liquid.

I suggest going to a hookah bar and smoke the non-hazardous one. I went to a Mediterranean restaurant where they had hookahs and they had fruit flavors like apple. That was a good experience.

I've seen it in a bag in NC. Try the internet. It may only be in a southern tobacco store somewhere!
