Hi, I'm currently 2 weeks Post Op, I know smoking cigs is bad after surgery, I don't smoke.Would smoking hookah be as bad as smoking cigs after surgery?

Thanks I'm going to wait it out. I don't want to slow it down even more.

As a 4 year hookah smoker, I'll let you in a little secret. Hookah is the same as cigarettes. It just has less nicotine & tar and is fruit flavored. But in our case, the smoking itself does the damage, not the nicotine. So it's even worse, because the amount of smoke you inhale in a session of hookah is WAY more than cigs.
