Cigarettes. A proper hookah is water-filtered. In addition, when used properly a hookah doesnt burn the tobacco directly, but rather vaporizes it with a special coal ember.
In addition, hookahs arent meant to be used to smoke straight tobacco, but tobamel, a mixture of tobacco, honey, fruits and other sweeteners.
Of course, for best health one should not smoke at all.

How much healthier is a hookah?
Not at all. Hookah smoking is not safer than cigarette smoking. The tobacco is no less toxic in a hookah pipe, and the water in the hookah does not filter out the toxic ingredients in the tobacco smoke. Hookah smokers may actually inhale more tobacco smoke than cigarette smokers do because of the large volume of smoke they inhale in one smoking session, which can last as long as 60 minutes.

Is Hookah Really Safer Than Cigarettes?
Studies have shown that hookah smoke has many of the same harmful chemicals as cigarette smoke, such as nicotine, tar, and heavy metals. This is even though many people who use it think it is less dangerous. Nicotine, which is in water pipes, is the same highly addictive drug that is in cigarettes and other tobacco products. Hookahs use charcoal to heat the tobacco to high temperatures, and the smoke is at least as dangerous as cigarette smoke. Carbon monoxide is one of the dangerous byproducts of the heat sources that are used to burn hookah tobacco. This could make hookah users even more at risk. Because of how hookahs are used, people who smoke them may take in more of the harmful chemicals that are also in cigarette smoke than people who smoke cigarettes. Inhaling 100–200 times as much smoke as they would from a single cigarette during a typical 1-hour hookah session. A single session on a water pipe exposes the user to up to 9 times as much carbon monoxide and 1.7 times as much nicotine as a single cigarette. About 90,000 milliliters (ml) of smoke are inhaled during a typical hookah session. This is much more than the 500–600 ml (20.29 oz) of smoke that is inhaled when smoking a cigarette. People who smoke hookah might get some of the same diseases as people who smoke cigarettes. These things are: Oral cancer Lung tumors Colon cancer The esophagus cancer lungs don't work as well Fewer babies being born Still, if you can’t resist the craving of smoking hookahs, it is better to visit an authentic hookah lounge in California for a genuine feeling of smoking a hookah.
