Do You Know Smoking Shisha Is Bad For Your Health by Oshatrends: 2:14pm On Aug 22, 2017
Shisha smoking – also called hookah, narghile, waterpipe, or hubble bubble smoking – is a way of smoking tobacco, sometimes mixed with fruit or molasses sugar, through a bowl and hose or tube.

What is in a shisha pipe?

Shisha pipes use tobacco sweetened with fruit or molasses sugar, which makes the smoke more aromatic than cigarette smoke. Popular flavourings include apple, plum, coconut, mango, mint, strawberry and cola. Wood, coal, or charcoal is burned in the shisha pipe to heat the tobacco and create the smoke because the fruit syrup or sugar makes the tobacco damp.

When you smoke shisha, you and anyone sitting near you are breathing in smoke which releases  toxins including carbon monoxide and heavy metals –reducing your body’s ability to carry oxygen around in your blood.

Smoking water pipes can be more harmful than cigarettes, world health experts have warned.

A single puff from a water pipe nearly equals the volume of smoke inhaled from an entire cigarette, while one session of “shisha” can equal smoking 20 to 30 cigarettes in one go, a conference has been told.

Moreover, smoke from charcoal used to heat the tobacco contains toxins.

Smoking the water pipe – variously known as a hubbly-bubbly, hookah, shisha or nargileh – has long been popular in the Middle East and North Africa but has a growing fan base elsewhere.
