Many people think that Hookah is safer than cigarettes because they believe the water associated with it somehow filters out the toxins in the tobacco smoke. But experts say this isn't the case at all. In fact, they say that a typical one-hour session of hookah smoking exposes the user to 100 to 200 times the volume of smoke inhaled from just one cigarette. Even though water passes thru the tobacco, the smoke still contains high levels of toxic compounds which include; carbon monoxide, heavy metals and cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens). In addition, hookah, like cigarettes, contain nicotine, which is the addictive ingredient located in tobacco.
So, there continues to be a growing concern for the health of our country (as well as the world), as people continue to partake in dangerous habits, whether it be cigarettes or hookah, as they both are dangerous not only to the smoker but to others as well. When it comes to second-hand smoke and third-hand smoke, hookah is just as toxic as cigarettes.
