If you smoke tobacco out of a hookah that was previously used for marijuana will you test positive?
It depends on the amount of marijuana residue "resin" left in the pipe. Sometimes you can puff on an empty pipe that still has resin left in it and still get "stoned" as well as fail a drug test. Not a very good idea unless you do not have any drug tests coming your way within 30 days.
In which era of time and country or within which group of peoples did tobacco originate?
That is debatable. It is clear that the English word "tobacco" came from the Spanish word, "tabaco", but from that point, we are not sure. It could have come from the Taino language spoken by Caribbean Indians, which had similar words that referred to a roll of tobacco leaves and a pipe used to sniff tobacco smoke. However, there were also similar words in Spanish, prior to the discovery of the New World, which referred to certain medicinal herbs. These words had their origin in the Arabic word "tabbaq".
Originally from the Americas.

It's difficult to list all of the toxin in cigarettes, as the tobacco industry doesn't make this information readily available. However, here are the top 11, most toxic and known chemicals that cigarettes contain.
1. Acetone [Active ingredient in nail polish]
2. Ammonia [colorless gas. Tobacco companies have stated it adds flavor, however scientists have discovered that ammonia allows you to absorb more nicotine, therefore keeping you hooked on smoking]
3. Arsenic [used to make insectisides, kill rats and gophers]
4. Benezene [A flammable liquid obtained from coal tar and used as a solevant.]
5. Benzoapyrene [The most cancer causing chemical in cigarette smoke, also obtained from coal tar.]
6. Butane [A hydrocarbon used as fuel]
7. Cadimum [metallic chemical used in alloys. This toxic causes damage to the liver, kidneys and brain, and stays in your body for years]
8. Formaldehyde [Gas used as a preservative dead bodies and is a disinfectant]
9. Lead [Heavy blueish-gray metallic chemical element. Lead stunts your growth and damages your brain]
10. Propylene Glycol [A sweet hygroscopic viscous liquid used as antifreeze and as a solvent in brake fluid. The tobacco industry claims they add it to keep cheap "reconstituted tobacco" from drying out, but scientists say it aids in the delivery of nicotine (tobaccos active drug) to the brain.]
11. Turpetine [colorless oil. Commonly used as paint thinner.]
It has a very high dose of nicotine, which makes it very addictive. The first time you try it you will probably feel sick, even if you are used to nicotine, which makes it hard to pass the product in "should we allow this 'new' product"- tests. The world has no need for another tobacco product, although Snus hasn't been proven to be dangerous. Yet.
first thing: snus has less nicotine. second thing: It's not new. it's just new to the U.S. And it still ain't that new.
Snus is not illegal. I buy it all the time although I have to buy it online because the States will not carry the real stuff where I am at.
It is illegal to sell snus in the EU (apart from Sweden and Norway)
Snus is not illegal unless if you are under 18.
How do you hide the smell of tobacco smoke in your home?
Only smoke when you're around other smokers. (I have two close friends, one who smokes along with her whole family, and one who doesn't smoke but his parents do, as well as a smoking coworker, so my mom is used to me coming home smelling like cigarette smoke.)
Wash your hands. Even if you have the friends excuse to explain your clothes, your hands will smell like it and that's a lot harder to explain away.
Chew gum, use breath sprays, or brush your teeth if possible.
The best option is to try those new dissolvable tablets. Then there's no smoke to hide at all. :) And you're not killing your lungs that way.
Although I would highly suggest not smoking if you're underage. I'm of legal age myself, but don't let my mom know because she has enough stress in her life and I don't need her worrying about me.
DONT SMOKE IN THE FIRST PLACE, EVEN IF YOU ARE OVER AGE! Your friend is stupid, "smoking alsong with her family?" What the heck?
-----------
you can't you just take pills for smoking and try to stop smoking and quit
Update by Devil Man:
I can tell you two things.
Smoking isn't good for your health.
&
If you are having to "hide it" then you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
Ilovecatz1234:
Why hide smoking? One day, when you start dying or getting a disease, you will be sorry for ever smoking. I am right, you'll see.
Do both smoking and chewing tobacco cause shortness of breath?
Tobacco is hard to breath because it is hard to breath. :)
Actually, it is because the thickness of the smoke that you inhale that makes you hard to breath. If you take a little amount of smoke, it'll be quite easy. For the one who have smoking for a very long time, it'll be quite firm when they inhale quite amount of smoke. For the starters, it'll be difficult. That's the time when you get headache or dizziness along.
I'm not sure that this answer is correct. As far as I know it is what I know. :)

How do people get effected by tobacco mosaic virus?
There is so much I could say on this, I lost 80 out of 120 tomato plants to the Tobacco moziac virus in about a week. Try the link below for all the information you need.
How much tobacco can you bring back from Amsterdam to Ireland?
You can bring in one from the following list:
- 200 cigarettes
- 100 cigarillos
- 50 cigars
- 250g of tobacco
Or you can combine these allowances. For example, if you bring in 100 cigarettes (half your full allowance) you can also bring in 25 cigars (half your full allowance). This would make up your full tobacco allowance. You can't go over your total tobacco allowance.
If you wish to bring in more tobacco than this you MUST declare it to customs on entry and be prepared to pay the required duty on all tobacco you have.
Which are not smokeless tobacco products?
Chewing tobacco is a form of smokeless tobacco. It is placed between the cheek and gums, allowing the nicotine to be absorbed through the oral mucosa. Other types of smokeless tobacco are snuff, snus, and dissolvable tobacco products. Despite being marketed as an alternative to smoking, chewing tobacco in India still pose significant health risks like oral cancer and addiction. For more information please visit The Tobacco Institute of India website now.
Is there fiberglass in chewing tobacco?
No, smokeless tobacco does not contain fiberglass or any other additives meant to "tear or rip" the mucosa (lining of the mouth) to allow for nicotine to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Mucous membranes, like that which lines the mouth, are thin and meant to allow for substances to pass through them and into the bloodstream. Many medications, such as nitroglycerine for people with angina, are designed to be absorbed through the mucous membranes of the mouth to get into the blood stream. The nicotine in smokeless tobacco can cross into the bloodstream to get to the brain without any help or cuts or tears in the mucosa.
What are the different types of chewing tobacco?
There are many. Just a few:
Snuff, which is tobacco powder, and is inhaled
Pipe tobacco, which is inhaled through a pipe
Chewing tobacco, which has wax and other products mixed in and is chewed
Cigars, which are really just big cigarettes
Harmful effects of chewing tobacco?
The physical compents are what cause emotional components to your question. While the answer below is true, I would like to add that tobacco contains nicotine, which acts as both a stimulant and a depressant in the Central Nervous System. As a stimulant (which means it "stimulates" certain nervous functions), it can increase salivary secretions (mouth watering etc), enhanced memory function and alertness, can cause sweating, excitability, increases in blood pressure and heart rate, it elevates blood glucose levels and increases insulin production, and can cause nausea/vomiting. In high doses it can also cause tremors (shaking) and even convulsions.
So with the stimulatory responses, how would the body react emotionally? First off, any effect on the CNS will result in some sort of emotional response. I am not a tobacco user, but I would say it would result in a 'need' for the substance, or reliance upon it. If a stimulant has an excitatory action, my thought is that the emotional response would be euphoric or happiness...maybe laughter. But again, that would depend on the individual. Same thing with the other items, if my blood pressure went up, I might sit down and try to calm down, I might get crabby. I think the focus of an emotional response would be more at the addictive properties and maybe the depressant side of it.
Once your body experiences stimulation, such as when you get scared or excited, the parasympathetic nervous system kicks in to calm you down (which is what also causes you to feel exhausted after a good scare). It works the same way with nicotine -- once that stimulation passes, your body will go through a period of depression. It can result in relaxation due to depression of the muscles, and appetite supression. Emotional response to that -- being relaxed and calm.
Any time you mess with the nervous system, you risk behavioral changes, but I think that all the things listed above would definitely contribute to an emotional effect although they, themselves, are physical effects. Just like when a woman has PMS, her hormones are causing physical effects that contribute to her emotional status.
Finally, addictive aspects of nicotine definitely elicit an emotional effect on the body because it is both a mood and behavior altering substance.
As far as listing emotional responses to chewing tobacco, I would say the best answer would be found if you asked yourself (or the user) this: If you don't have tobacco, what behavior would you display? Would you seek it? Would you crave it? when you see tobacco, how do you feel? Do you work hard to obtain it? Those types of answers are emotional, but will result in a physical action.
More Information:
The main physical effects are the smell of your breath.
Emotional effects are mood swings, and addiction. Therefore, if your supply ends [for whatever reason] you may have a terrible mood swing.
How spit tobacco is harmful for health?
It can still give you cancer, i saw a video about a man who got into the habit from baseball and he ended up getting a cancer inside his mouth. He had to get half his cheek removed, part of his tongue, and one of his lymph glands too. Don't try the stuff, it doesnt even taste good. Terrible habit.
What happens if someone is caught with tobacco?
Yes, if you're under the legal age, or if it was illegally obtained (smuggles cigarettes, for example).
What can you smoke out of a hookah?
- Fill the vase with ice cubes and water. Put just enough water into the base so that the stem is submerged about 1-1/2" (38 mm) into the bowl.
- You need to leave just enough room in the vase so that your smoke doesn't bubble up into the hose.
- Avoid putting milk or dairy into your base. Adding dairy will ensure an unpleasant smell, mold, foaming in the vase and ruined hoses.
- Add your grommet. The grommet is a seal that joins the stem to the vase. Most hookahs come with a rubber or plastic seal. Silicone is the best material for a seal, but you an also simply seal the vase to the stem with electrical tape.
- Put the tray that holds the coals onto the hookah. You need to put it on before you put the bowl on because the bowl may not fit over the tray.
- Insert the short end of the hose into the hose port. If your hookah has 2 ports, then you can purchase a rubber seal to close off the other port.
- Prepare your shisha. Follow all of these steps for the best smoking experience
- Evenly mix your tobacco so that all of it is covered in flavoring and molasses.
- Fluff up your tobacco and drop it loosely into the bowl. Leave 2 millimeters of distance between the top of the tobacco and the bowl so that the shisha doesn't touch the foil when you put it on. Burned shisha will add a nasty flavor to your smoke.
- Buy a good quality shisha. The quality of your shisha will determine the flavor of your smoke. You can also mix and match flavors for a great-tasting smoke. Buy 50-gram portions of shisha so that you can try it out without spending a lot of money.
- You can cut up your tobacco leaves with kitchen shears to more easily pack them into the bowl. However, don't cut them too small or they'll fall through the holes and clog your bowl.
- Put heavy duty only foil over the top of the bowl. Your foil piece should be 2" (5 cm) larger on all sides so that you can form a tight seal around the bowl.
- Keep the foil tight so that wrinkles don't distort the heat distribution. If you only have thin foil on hand, then double it up.
- When you're finished, your foil-covered bowl should resemble the head of a drum.
- Poke about 15 to 20 holes into the foil with a toothpick, a pin or a sharp-tipped pen. Take care not to shred your foil. You can try a couple of different patterns based on the kind of bowl that you have:
- Egyptian bowl: Start with a circle of holes around the perimeter and spiral inward.
- Funnel-style bowl: Make 3 concentric rings: 1 around the edge, 1 around the spire and 1 between the 2 circles that you've already made.
- Light the coals. Hold the coals with a pair of tongs and light 1 corner with a match or lighter. Because sparks will be produced, you should either go outside or stand near a window.
- Always use the tongs that come with most hookahs to light or move your coals. Avoid using kitchen tongs, which may have been coated in a polymer to provide a non-stick coating for food prep and easy cleaning.
- When the coal starts to sparkle and emit smoke, pull the flame away. The coal should continue sparking until all of it turns bright orange.
- If the coal still has some blackened patches that aren't burning, then blow on the coal to encourage it to heat up.
- Set the coal down on the foil using your tongs. The sides that were covered by your tongs should be unlit. Blow on these parts to cause them to burn orange. Let the coal sit on the foil until each one has a coating of ash over it.
- Never light the coal directly on top of the foil. The particles released from the coal will get into the bowl and change the flavor of your tobacco.
- If you're in a place with no stove, lighter or matches, then you can use instant-light coal.
- Natural coals burn much longer than quick lights but require something much hotter than a lighter to ignite them. Most people use either a single coil stove burner or a butane torch to light their naturals.
- Blow through the hose to clean out any dust or particles that may have settled. Avoid washing the hose unless you know that it is washable.
- Smoke your hookah. Allow the bowl to heat up naturally. Don't take hard pulls to accelerate the heating process because you'll just end up burning the tobacco. Take your time while you smoke. A good hookah can last between 45 minutes and 1 hour.
There are many species of tobacco, which are all encompassed by the plant genus Nicotiana. Tobacco is cultivated similarly to other agricultural products. Seeds are sown in cold frames or hotbeds to prevent attacks from insects, and then transplanted into the fields. Tobacco is an annual crop, which is usually harvested in a large single-piece farm equipment. After harvest, tobacco is stored to allow for curing, which allow for the slow oxidation and degradation of carotenoids. This allows for the agricultural product to take on properties that are usually attributed to the "smoothness" of the smoke. Following this, tobacco is packed into its various forms of consumption which include smoking, chewing, sniffing, and so on. (Wikipedia)
