      Ngl. Would have been nice for my dad so he could have smoked while he was dying easier. Yeah it’s bad or whatever but he was already dying why try to quit and have nic fits too.

    If you read it closely - you can get a “tandem” set up. So two people can share this. They each get their own butt and tube.

        Is the US, you can easily find Hookah bars all around our cities and suburbs. It’s mostly a young person thing, but yeah…not an uncommon thing around here at least.

            There were hella hookah bars that popped up in 2010 or so in California as a meet up spot for 20-30 year olds to just chill and try different flavored stuff.

        I live in India and hookah is not unknown to us as there is a sub-culture surrounding hookah here.

      A robot is a thing that does things for you; it comes from the Czech robota meaning servitude, slavery, hard work, or drudgery

            I was at a mall and was laughing at an ai washing machine with friends. the manager, standing nearby, overheard us and said “you know what? these ai models are exactly same as the older ones from inside. yet we launched a campaign to ‘upgrade’ the models to ai and more than 50% of customers are accepting it, paying us money and returning happy with the discount we give lol”.

      Yeah.

      If you are going to insist on giving yourself and everyone around you cancer AND making your house smell like rat shit (not a euphemism…), this seems like a really good invention. Basically ALL the “spontaneously combusted” folk are believed to be people who dropped a lit cigarette while sleeping and it is still a somewhat common cause of house fires.

      But yeah. Hookahs and the like already existed.

    I never smoked because it was just too much effort. This would have made all the difference, if I’d known about it. Alas, all those wasted years without the pleasures of a good smoke.

      For those of you not familiar with it - there is a thing called an oxygen concentrator. You plug it in and it delivers almost 100% oxygen by filtering out the 80% of non oxygen gases in the ambient air. Most forced to use it fucked their lungs up from smoking. And you will find many continuing to smoke butts while they have a cannula in their nose delivering oxygen.
