beg to differ...unprocessed tobacco isnt as harmful as a ciggerette...whose ingredients include tar and cynide among so many more compunds that would make you think real hard....but then i am a fool who has the vice unfortunately...working on reducing and quitting...started the nicotine gums...give you one whopper of a headache as a side effect...
.........and to prove my point: 8)
"Many people consider sheesha t be less harmful than smoking cigarettes. But according to a study conducted at King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah, sheesha can be even more harmful.
Sheesha smokers bsaorb more carbon monoxide than do cigarette smokers, putting themselves at greater risk for coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis and chronic respiratory disease. It can also retard fetal growth.
Sheesha smokers using charcoal have higher levels of carbon monoxide in their blood than those using an electrical device. Carbon monoxide bsaorption is greatly increased when sheesha is smoked just prior to sleeping. Even minimal exposure to carbon monoxide is known to be harmful and people who smoke sheesha as little as once a day put themselves at risk. According to the study 15 minutes of smoking sheesha is equivalent to smoking one cigarette. The researchers defined a âsmokerâ as anyone who smoked 15-30 grams of jurak each day.
A study conducted on adult males suggests that sheesha smoking may be responsible for abnormal changes in their chromosomes. Another study concluded that regular sheesha smokers carry a risk of deforming their teeth. And although not proven, it is suspected that sheesha smoking may lead to cancer."

What you fail to realize is that with a sheesha you do not inhale at all.... This eliminates 99% of the study's findings...

yeah u r right, it both hurts our future well being, but u know what we still smoke it though ha ha so here cheers to good health!

First I'd like to thank everyone for replying and keeping it Civil.
Majority rules, so it'll be the weekend of March 3rd and a Shisha venue as that seems to work best for most people.
I just need to get a place organized for us, I'll PM/Post venue and time soon.
Look forward to meeting up with you all.

Fyaz,
for the self proclaimed laziest man you are doing a bang-up job of getting something together. I will offer my help for anything you need. I may even be able to drive someone to the event.
Weekend of the 3rd works out perfectly for me. PM if there is anything I can do to help.
Brisbane: very kind of you, and security, to offer up your building!
