Is smoking Hookah bad?

Smoking is as bad as smoking cigarettes, although although it is thought that the smoke from Nargilé does less harm by being filtered through the water, this is not entirely true, because in this process only a small part of the harmful substances in the smoke are in the Water. The hookah, also known as an Arabic pipe or hookah, is usually used in sessions that can last from 20 minutes to 60 minutes, during which time the smoke swallowed by the smoker can reach 50 liters, equivalent to the smoke released per 100 cigarettes

Thus, who smokes Nargilé consumes nicotine and other toxins from the burning of the smoke, such as heavy metals and carbon monoxide, running the same risks as the cigarette smoker, as it may suffer from the same diseases as lung problems and lung cancer, esophagus, larynx and mouth.

Hookah addicts like cigarette

The nargilé is addictive as a cigarette, because the tobacco used in this hookah although it may seem harmless, since it has full, attractive colors and flavors, contains nicotine in its composition, a substance contained naturally in tobacco that is intensely addictive to the body . Thus, the risk of the Narghile smoker becoming dependent is similar to the risk of becoming dependent on the cigarette.

Main Risks of Smoking Narguilé

The smoker of Narguilé has similar risks to the cigarette smoker, and the main risks to health are:

• 1 session of Narghile, between 20 and 60 minutes, may be the equivalent of smoking 100 cigarettes;
• Increased risk of various cancers such as cancer of the lung, esophagus, larynx, mouth, lung, intestine, bladder or kidneys for example;
• Due to the time of the sessions the smokers of Narguilé absorb a greater quantity of toxins than the smokers of cigarette;
• Increased risk of problems such as thrombosis, impotence and heart disease;
• While being shared by several used, smoking Narguilé increases the chances of catching orally transmitted diseases such as Herpes, Oral Candidiasis or Boqueira, for example.
