Lately, there's been a lot of debate over whether or not Connecticut should have hookahs.

There's been back and forth between public officials in Milford and the owner of a restuarant trying to open a hookah lounge there. The debate ended with the introduction of a bill to the Connecticut General Assembly which could essentially ban new hookah lounges in the state.

Are hookahs dangerous? Should they be banned? Or do you know what you're getting into when you go inside a hookah lounge.

We'll debate the issue today. Leave your comments below, e-mail colin@wnpr.org or Tweet us @wnprcolin.
