Mind Our language
Foreign English speaking team constructs this site, and you may find our English language is bad and maybe badly offensive to you, our apologies. However, the site will cover great subjects on tourism and promoting Manchester in a way we hope not to compromise local people, and we will not be shy of covering materials other tourism sites won't do. We intend to have excellent English speaking people involved as soon as we can. In the meanwhile, please send your comments to help us improve.
 
old one 
 
You may find the language structure, and the grammar of this site is not to your expectation, and that is due to the fact the writer has been adopted by Manchester to be one of its citizens at a very advanced age. And Hoping in the future, there will be a way to improve the language, but in the meantime, we hope the visitors to the site will understand the content, enjoy the time spent and benefit from the information provided. Your comment, feedback or opinion will be highly appreciated to help us improve.

Shisha smoking 
 
 
The origin of using shisha ( Shisha means glass gar ) to smoke tobacco is arguable, uncertain and debatable by people smoking a few heads of shishas in shisha lounge.  Many countries claiming the invention like Turkey, India, Syria and Iran and one of the stories is a Doctor in Indian around the year  1500 BC raised health concerns after smoking tobacco became popular among Indian noblemen. He invented a system which allowed smoke to pass through water to be purified. That is what he thought then, and still, many shisha users believe today that the practice of smoking shisha is safe.  This new device for smoking then soon became a status symbol for the Indian aristocracy and gentry.
 
Most popular shisha smoking nowadays use mixed tobacco and fruit flavour which attract new users and future smokers and addicts to the habit and increase the club numbers of smokers,  which make it more dangerous as people think or told they are smoking fruit.
 
What is the origin of the smoking tobacco fruit mix?  The story is that a ship had a cargo of dry fruits and tobacco on board and that ship hit a big rock and sank as it was trying to dock. People from the town where the ship sank collected whatever they could find from the ship wreckage and salvage from the ship cargo including the tobacco and fruits. They dried the fruit and the tobacco. The tobacco, which was found mixed with the fruit and they smoked the tobacco mixed with the fruit in their shishas anyway ( waste not want), The newfound was  a pleasant mixer to smoke and a new  recipe for smoking shisha, which, caught up as a good recipe for the shisha heads  in the other towns and countries . 
The shisha ingredients are not just fruit but fruit and plenty tobacco, fruit alone won't smoke. The shisha ingredients are either tobacco alone or tobacco and fruit mix. The amount of tobacco or the concentrate of tobacco is higher than smoking cigarettes so why shisha is acceptable to smoke without warning as the ones seen on the cigarettes packs and smoking   inside the buildings ( premises ) allowed while cigarettes are not allowed and places that allow people smoking cigarettes  inside usually panelized and subject to financial fine or closure . Shisha smoking danger has not been published intensively as cigarette smoking, the patterns of smoking, the chemistry of the smoke that is inhaled, and health effects suggest that shisha smoking is associated with many of the same risks as cigarette smoking. The smoke that emerges from a shisha head contains numerous toxicants, such as carbon monoxide and heavy metals, known to cause cancers of the mouth, lung, stomach, bladder, and oesophagus as well as heart disease and other diseases. Furthermore, due to the mode of smoking – including frequency of puffing, depth of inhalation, and length of the smoking session – shisha smokers may absorb higher concentrations of the toxins found in cigarette smoke as a typical one-hour shisha smoking session is the equivalent of inhaling the smoke of 100 or more cigarettes.  Also, people usually smoke as much as they can within the time they spend in shisha lounges as they invested a good amount of money in smoking shisha.  These risks are largely unknown and unappreciated by the public and majority of frequent users were more likely to believe that shisha is less harmful than cigarettes. Also, to the consequences of smoking tobacco, Shisha smoking also poses unique health risks. Because smoking sessions at shisha lounges often involve sharing ahead of shisha among multiple individuals, consumers are at increased risk of infectious diseases, such as influenza, herpes, hepatitis, and tuberculosis.
Additionally, the charcoal used to heat the tobacco in the shisha exposes consumers to high levels of carbon monoxide, heavy metals, and cancer-causing chemicals. We are not going in details on how harmful is smoking shisha, which we heard one described it as the sweet poison or poison wrapped in honey and fruits. One can find all about the danger of shisha smoking by searching the internet and it obvious.
There is another negative impact of shisha smoking which going to hit the community in the future as the authorities who issue licences for opening shisha lounges most probably not thought of the implications for NHS when the present and encouraged smokers to suffer from their health in the future. One should not look and think of the present but of the future as if we do not consider the future in our decisions we might not control the future. Given licences for shisha smoking is a short-term benefit for a few people but it will be long-term suffering for people who have been introduced to this heavy smoking habit. Also, it will be a burden on the community and NHS. 
When we talk about the harm to and suffering to the young people in the future, we should not forget the young people working in the shisha lounges probably on minimum wages to serve the shisha smokers. Their job is to provide the costumes with a good shisha and keeping it active and running in good shape all the time by changing the charcoals and inhale the shisha strongly till it is ready to give to the customers. 
 
" If you have been to one of these shishas places you probably have noticed that these workers are doing their job to set the shisha for the costumes by inhaling the shisha deeply for a while to give it a good start. Then they provide fresh charcoal and clean the shisha head ( by taking it out of the shisha set and blow in it from the bottom to clear the holes of the shisha head to keep the customers happy.  The customers also provided with a little plastic pipe tip/attachment to inhale through the mouthpiece to protect them from the transfer of the disease and infection by sharing and sucking the smoke pipe mouthpiece; the workers are not provided with this attachment either. "
 
These young people working in the shisha lounges are they going to be protected against any harm they will have in the future through working in this dangerous and not healthy environment and who is going to pay for their treatment the authorities provided the licences or the owners of the shisha places?
 
Notes :
 
Some have places for shisha outside the buildings and with Manchester weather these places are covered, which cause the smoke moves only horizontally passing everyone on the way to inhale. So It makes no difference if you have the shisha smoking place inside or outside the building the effect will be more or less the same !!!!!
 
Some countries which are considered less advanced than Manchester are taken good measures to stop shisha smoking from preventing to allowing them to open outside the city centre and shisha smokers  have to travel to them to smoke and save other from seeing them and trying them, which is the same principle as covering the cigarettes in the supper markets now  . Cigarets displayed in covered cabinets and smoker can ask for them to buy but not on display all the time for people to see.
 
Most users usually start at young ages 17 to 20, that is why Shisha places popular near universities as this phenomena consider trendy and cool.

Brexit
 
 What’s going to happen to Manchester after Brexit  ???? We do not know what is going to happen and our guess is as good as yours and as good as any politician in Manchester or England. This site is independent, we don’t reflect the views of any party and we are so happy about this as none of the parties or at least the ones that may be able to influence the situation can justify their actions. All the main parties doing is fighting each other or between themselves, while the Europeans watching and preparing for any outcome from the UK politicians. The Europeans will have an open book negotiation with the UK as all details of the UK thinking their aim and the targeted achievements and demand are known to everyone and their dirty washing free to be inspected by everyone in public.   
 
What is important for the visitors in Manchester is how Brexit going to affect them and to think of their investment, pound sterling movement against other currencies and how to do better after Brexit. This site is only thinking loud here !!!!  no more no less. This site is not to give advice on financial issues or claim to know anything about what will happen and for the matter of fact not the best financial advisers know what is going to happen we think they are guessing. and they will continue to guess till Britain exit The European Union. They may direct you to one way or another and if their advice happens to be good they are a star and if not you lose money and ends there.
If you have money don’t let others play with your money, play with it yourself. The internet is there for you to make the judgment and to decide on the direction to take and at least you can learn when something goes wrong.
Visitors in Manchester knows people who had advice from a big accounting company in G Manchester that made them lose money, a good amount. They didn’t even get an apology for the bad advice from the accountancy company. The only thing the accountancy company did is blaming everyone else, from different authorities they dealt with to changes in government policies etc, etc but never their work or advice as they always perfect.
 
If you can, Don’t let other people play with your money and lose it, do it yourself.
If you have currency in pound sterling do you have to keep it or to change it to Euro and you have to watch the movement all the time. This one very difficult decision to make especially one of British newspaper reported that Bank Of England has used some of the currency reserves and bought billions of Euros since the referendum !!! do we have to follow or not !!!! sorry, we can not give any advice. Good luck whatever you do and hope it will be the right decision.
The second issue that might be affected by Brexit in Manchester is the property market and in particular  Manchester flats prices. Manchester has a good number of European Union Citizens working in the city from Spain, France, Italy and other countries and the number increasing or it was. When one flies to Madrid nearly 3/4 of the passengers are Spanish, and that shows the size of the integration with Europe. Therefore, we think  Manchester had a plan of expansion to the infrastructure, services and a huge number of blokes of flats in and around the city centre based on the number of Europeans estimated to work and live in Manchester. One can tell from the number of cranes one can see in Manchester that reminds you of the construction boom in Dubai and Riyadh in the 80s. Now the influx of the European is going to stop, and some who have settled in Manchester decided to leave due to the uncertainty. That will leave many empty flats, which are planned to be occupied by the Europeans and this might drop the flat prices down drastically especially after reading newspaper article warned UK housing market is 12% overpriced that leaves many of us to suffer as flat owners in Manchester. Also, this might open the opportunity to big foreign companies to invest to buy flats and blocks of flats which might cause trouble to the locals and visitors as it will be very difficult for them to compete with the big companies as we have seen it in London.
Again this is a loud thinking and to emphasise that this site is not to give advice but to highlight and we welcome comments. On a lighter note see below photo taken in Madrid just after the referendum.
