Hookah has quite often been alleged for causing cancer. The concept of
Hookah smoking has its origin in the Middle East and later this ancient
tradition became a popular trend in the Western countries as well. It is
not very safe to use Hookah water pipes, as they are not able to filter
out the entire toxins and the left out elements tend to cause harm to
the human body. Nicotine is especially addictive and thus quite
injurious to health. Several kinds of cancer and gum diseases are
associated with Hookah smoking. Thus, there can be real dangerous
effects of smoking Hookah.
People resort to Hookah smoking as a part of social activity, but
gradually, they tend to get so addicted to Nicotine that it often
becomes quite tough for them to quit smoking. Infact, their chances of
indulging in cigarette smoking is on a higher side. False claims are
made about Hookah smoking, which suggest that the risk involved in it is
very low, infact next to nothing. It is said that the water pipe filters
out all the toxins, however, till date, there is no such study that has
given a conformation to this statement. Infact, any sort of smoking then
be it cigarette smoking or Hookah smoking is indeed detrimental to
health.
The increasing craze among the common people to go in for Hookah smoking
has become a cause of worry. It is considered to be voguish to smoke
Hukkah, despite the fact that there are tremendous health risks
associated with its use. People are of the belief that Hookah smoking is
less toxic, as compared to cigarette. However, this is unfortunately not
the truth and the reality is that it is equally lethal as the cigarette
smoking. Infact, a single session of Hookah smoking, which usually lasts
about 30-60 minutes, causes equivalent harm as a pack of cigarettes. So,
be cautious about the use of Hookah water pipe and smoke in moderation.
