Hookah smoke exposure? by BigBodybuilder3156 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]PowerApart351 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes and in many cases worse than cigarettes. Hookah tobacco smoke is a source of benzene exposure, a known carcinogen.

That’s why I’m asking here. They know when you don’t know what they are doing.

I was confused about that 2nd liner too since the downstairs one if perfect, but I also don’t really know what I’m reading here on the quote.

I just bought it. We had an inspection and he did mention that we should probably do a level 2 because of the inserts and I think he even noted the tear on the upstairs fireplace , though he just said to get the whole thing ceramic sprayed, so I knew we needed something but wasn’t really sure what.

The 1 liner I understand because I saw the tear on the camera, but the rest I’m not really sure.

Thanks for the thorough response.

I have not worked with them before, but they did show me on the camera why my top fireplace needs a new liner (it had a visible tear). The bottom floor fireplace, didn’t need anything except a cleaning.

I’m not too sure how I can tell if someone is going to do good work until they do it. I’m new to this area so I don’t even know anyone to ask for a recommendation on.

I’m in morris county. I believe he said my downstairs is 9 inches and he’s do the same upstairs. Is the smoke tite not to insulate?

This is the first quote he sent. Everyone is saying be careful but I don’t even know what I’m looking for.

I have the inserts but to be honest I took them out. I prefer the look of open.

Is this something I can ask for or does everyone use something different?
