Is Hookah Use Safe?

Hookah use messes with your lungs, and starts gum disease. It accelerates aging in young people!

In a word, no. Although tons of young people throughout the country think hookah use is ‘very cool’ due to the fact that you are breathing in tobacco ‘cleansed by the water vapor’, nothing could be further from the truth.

There is a heightened risk for respiratory problems, lung cancer, preterm or much lower birth weight, and gum disease. This may sound like the risks associated with cigarette smoking, but I’m still talking about weekend hookah use.

In fact, its worse. You’ve heard of 2nd hand smoke found in the immediate vicinity of smokers. However, around hookah smokers, multiply by four-fold the amount of cancer causing hydrocarbons, and 31 times the carbon monoxide found from a cigarette smoker. Yikes!

And don’t even think of kissing after hookah use, unless you want to transmit or have someone give you gingivitis or periodontal disease.

Have a good weekend!
