Answer #1

If you smoke hookah often, you can get cancer. Because its flavored and you don’t taste the tobacco, you’re more likely to smoke more hookah than you would cigarettes. “According to a World Health Organization advisory, a typical one-hour session of hookah smoking exposes the user to 100 to 200 times the volume of smoke inhaled from a single cigarette. Even after passing through water, tobacco smoke still contains high levels of toxic compounds, including carbon monoxide, heavy metals and cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens). Hookah smoking also delivers significant levels of nicotine — the addictive substance in tobacco.” Also, once you light the hookah, it creates tar, which when inhaled can cause lung cancer and/or emphysema. Also, it IS addictive. According to some other research I’ve read, hookah is believed to be worse than smoking cigarettes and cigars. If you smoke it once, or every few months, you should be fine. But every other weekend/every weekend consistently for a long period of time could cause some health problems.

Researched - not copyrighted:

Hookah tobacco is generally only 30 percent tobacco and 70 percent fruit flavoring and molasses or honey. It contains .05 percent nicotine and most types contain no tar. Because the tobacco is heated, rather than actually burned, studies have shown that there are fewer carcinogens produced in hookah smoke than in other forms of smoking. However, concerns about the length of time smokers generally spend around a bowl of hookah tobacco do warrant consideration, and studies have shown that carbon dioxide intake is actually higher in hookah smoking. Though mellower and less carcinogenic, hookah tobacco is still tobacco and the health risks remain. Hookah tobacco should only be smoked by adults over 18 years of age, and then smoked in moderation.
