I just needed to do some findings because of the rates at which young girls engage in shisha smoking with the mindset that its different from cigarette. They smoke it and even upload it online but as a concerned person I just have to pass out the information to those who are not aware and who doesnt know the health risk of smoking shisha poses.

Shisha is the flavoured tobacco used in smoking
process using hookah water pipes, which are also
called by other names such as Narghile, Hubble
Bubble, Goza, among other names. The process
of smoking Shisha started when tobacco is
soaked on fruits shavings such as apple, grapes
and strawberries.

A hookah consists of a base, pipe, bowl and hose
or a mouthpiece. Tobacco is placed in the bowl,
which is at the top of the pipe structure. An
aluminium foil covers the bowl and small charcoal
pieces are then placed on the foil, which is
punctured using a pin to gently heat the tobacco.
When smoked using the hose; smooth, sweet-
smelling vapour is filtered through the base
containing water. It also comes in floral flavours
such as coconut, vanilla and rose.

now lets get to business. The healt risks includes the following:

.
1. CAUSES CANCER;


Due to the mode of Shisha 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, thus increasing the
hazard to the body.
The charcoal used to heat tobacco in the Shisha
pipes increases the health risks. Even after it has
passed through water, the smoke produced by a
Shisha contains high levels of toxic compounds,
including carbon monoxide, heavy metals, and
cancer-causing chemicals.


2. CAUSES HEART PROBLEM

Shisha tobacco and smoke contain numerous
toxic substances known to cause clogged arteries
and heart diseases.

3. Periodontal (gum tissue) disease

There is an increased level of nicotine and
cotinine (a by product of nicotine) in the blood
plasma, saliva and urine of Shisha smokers that
affects the periodontal tissues.

4. Prone to infections

Hookah pipes used in hookah bars and cafes may
not be cleaned properly, risking the spread of
infectious diseases. Infectious diseases including
tuberculosis (which can infect the lungs or other
parts of the body), aspergillus (a fungus that can
cause serious lung infections), and helicobacter
(which can cause stomach ulcers) may be spread
by sharing the pipe or through the way the
tobacco is prepared.

5. Low birth weight babies with pregnant
women smoking Shisha

Shisha smoking among pregnant mothers is risky
to the baby as well, since the child may face
underweight problems and difficulty in breathing.
Babies born to women who smoked one or more
water pipes a day during pregnancy have lower
birth weights (were at least 3½ ounces less) than
babies born to non-smokers and are at an
increased risk for respiratory diseases.


6. Danger of second hand smoke

Using Shisha smoke poses a serious potential
health hazard to smokers and others exposed to
the smoke emitted. The second hand smoke from
Shisha poses a serious risk for non-smokers,
particularly because it contains smoke not only
from the tobacco but also from the heat source
(e.g., charcoal) used in the hookah.

7. NICOTINE ADDICTION

Hookah and Shisha smoking deliver almost the
same amount of nicotine as cigarettes do, leading
to nicotine addiction.


8. Some effects of Shisha also includes:
wrinkled skin, sexual impotence, etc.

Shisha smokers who regard shisha as another
form of smoking with a lower risk should
reconsider their thoughts. The use of smoking
Shisha as a past time hobby, a bonding session
or a social event for some is entirely our choice.
That temporary bliss given by smoking Shisha for
a long run is not to be ignored though. The listed
effects of smoking Shisha above are just some of
the effects and we do not know what more could
it cause. The sure thing is, the moment you are
having a Shisha session you are also buying
yourself a ticket in slowly killing your body bits
by bits.
