    It may have been mentioned but you could smoke cigars for a while and then quit those.

    But, personally, I have never smoked cigarettes and never became really addicted to either shisha or cigars, I kind of quit smoking cigars a long time ago. At one point I smoked 8 a week, then I just stopped one day, and then I smoked them again, and then one every week or so when with friends, and ultimately just very irregularly (a quarter or so of one every few weeks) and then I pretty much just quit entirely because I forgot how to smoke them right (they ceased being smooth and became harsh and bitter, I figured out what I was doing wrong but the desire left me) and then one day my coworker told me there was a tobacco store nearby with hookahs, and I picked one up and a couple things of tobacco and, well, it's awesome. Some times I use for days straight, other times I go without.

    All in all I'd say that the cigar is less addictive and could be a decent stepping stone, but again I've known people who smoke cigarettes and weren't really addicted. It's probably more based on your personality than actual chemical addiction.

    But I've always thought that if you could move to cigars they would be a nice stepping stone. If you smoke them you could enjoy the kick at first and then later gradually fall out of favour with them. Personally I inhaled them, all the time with every puff. Good way to kill yourself, but as I said they could well work for you to get you out of the habit.

    Wow, sounds like a bot, is trying to sell a product, and bumps long dead threads.
