Yes. 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 smoke contains high levels of toxic compounds, including tar, carbon monoxide, heavy metals and cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens). In fact, hookah smokers are exposed to more carbon monoxide and smoke than are cigarette smokers.

Yes, hookah is unhealth because you smoke tobacco and it contains nicotine. However, there is an alternative which is unharmful to your health. It is called soax tobacco. It is a flavored tobacco containing no nicotineor real tobacco so it doesnt contain any of the harmful chemicals like real tobacco. Also made by soax, there are soax cigarettes. They are exactley the sasme as cigarettes except they contain no nicotine or harmful chemicals like the soax tobacco. There is also a soax herbal tobacco blend which is also flavored.

Just as bad as smoking cigarettes. The tobacco is no less toxic in a hookah pipe, & the water in the hookah does not filter out the toxic ingredients in the tobacco smoke.
