It is interesting to watch these boys to serve burning charcoal to Hookah smokers who enjoy the evening at Souq Waqif at the side of Dinner Table with their smoke. Is it as harmful as of regular smoking of Bidi, cigarettes or Cigar? What is your thoughts?
@ Stone Cold,nice post mate,hopefully it will go some way in clearing up the myth that a sheesha pipe is in any way safer or less harmful than any other form of tobacco because nothing could be further than the truth...in fact some independant studies have shown it to be even more harmful than other forms of tobacco...
There's no difference between hookah and the rest of the tobacco family in terms of heath effect
A common belief among users is that the smoke is significantly less dangerous than that from cigarettes.The water moisture induced by the hookah makes the smoke less irritating and may give a false sense of security and reduce concerns about true health effects. Doctors at institutions including the Mayo Clinic have stated that use of hookah is equally detrimental to a person's health as smoking cigarettes and a study by the World Health Organization also confirmed these findings.
Each hookah session typically lasts more than 40 minutes, and consists of 50 to 200 inhalations that each range from 0.15 to 0.50 liters of smoke. Reports by the World Health Organization and the American Cancer Society have shown that, in a one-hour hookah session, users consume about 100 to 200 times the smoke and about 70 times the nicotine as they do in one cigarette.
A study in the Journal of Periodontology found that water pipe smokers were five times more likely than non-smokers to show signs of gum disease. People who smoked water pipes had five times the risk of lung cancer as non-smokers.
The water used to filter the chemicals does not work efficiently to remove all the harmful chemicals.

Thanks for the info Stone...but what I've heard is that Sheesha/Hooqah is 4 times more hazardeous to health than cigi

No Its not harmful...its very USEFUL....:)
Every weekend i have Sheesha, its really fun to have especially in this pleasant climate.
I prefer Cigarettes, Bidis, Hookah, Cigars in that order.
Who cares about harmful, even breathing is harmful these days..
