I smoked ciggs over a 3 year period in college but quit over two years ago once my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I just stopped, cold turkey, in fact, I hated them after that, never touched one again. I was offered a really good job at the Cleveland Clinic a few weeks ago and accepted it. Well anyways, I went to see some buddy's a few days and ended up smoking hookah ( first time in 2 years) 2x's over a few hours over a  period for 2 days, my test is in 5 days. I dont care I smoked hookah because I will never touch a cig again, but I am scared the nicotine and or cotinine will show up in my system from the hooka. I have been drinking a gallon of water a day running like crazy and freaking out. I feel since I have not been smoking at all over 2 years, any trace of cotinine is way out of my system and smoking a little hookah would not affect overall readings because there has not been enough time for much nicotine to build up. I dont want to loose this job becasue of hookah!!!!! Just wondering if anyone agrees with me or am I freaking out too much?

Hookah's are extremely dangerous not just the nicotine but you can get a transmittable disease such as hepatitis, or tuberculosis.

Being in a room for 1 hour with hookay smoke is equal to smoking 100 cigarettes.

My advice STOP NOW!!! I am a healthcare professional.

And you will really go blind if you masterbate. Listen, REAL healthcare experts give facts, not just opinions or make unsupported allegations. I would love to see this scientific evidence that sitting in a room for 1 hour with hookah (hookay?) smoke is equal to smoking 100 cigarettes. Please, someone, if you can, please provide everyone here with the link so they can see it. If you have some facts, please present them. Otherwise, let's get back to the facts of the matter. 1.) Hookah/Sheesha/Arghila is a pipe that uses tobacco. 2.) The different tobaccos have different nicotine levels. 3.) Any tobacco use will increase your health risks. 4.) The more that you smoke, the greater the health risks involved. How much that risk increases is purely speculative; it depends on your health condition, how much you smoke, and what genetic risks may exist for you. As for the transmittable disease allegations, well, most Hookah bars will offer you disposable hookah hose tips, or provide you with a disposable hookah hose (assuming you've not chosen to smoke hookah in a crack house).

Okay, that's my two cents. I just hope that "healthcare expert" will take a break from tending their bottles of urine in their Vegas penthouse long enough to provide some facts to go behind their raw, unsupported allegations. i just hope they've not gone blind.

Dear Health Care and Hookay Professional,

You have given an answer to question that wasn't asked. OP (original poster) clearly stated he has already stopped.    Why did you even reply to his post?
