1. A false belief among users is that the smoke from hookah is less dangerous than that of cigarettes. This is wrong! However since people think this is true, it gives a false sense of security and reduces 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.
2. Hookah use may lead to infertility. Yes, you read that correctly.
3. In a one-hour (1 hour) hookah session, users consume around 100 to 200 times the smoke and about 70 times the nicotine as they do in one cigarette.
4. Water pipe smokers are seven times (7 times) more likely than non-smokers to show signs of gum disease and mouth cancer.
5. There are over 250 different kinds of Hookah flavors, and that number continues to rise.
6. Each hookah session (commonly referred to as “a sesh”) consists of 50 to 200 inhalations that each range from 0.15 to 0.50 liters of smoke.
7. Hookah users may become infected with herpes.
8. Chilling with friends and smoking hookah may seem fun and put you in the “cool group.” However, the reality is thirty (30) minutes of smoking hookah is the same as chain-smoking half a pack of cigarettes.
9. Hookah contains 69 different carcinogens.
10. Hookah use may cause impotence. If you don’t know what this means, then here’s your definition: “Impotence is a common problem among men characterized by the consistent inability to sustain an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse or the inability to achieve ejaculation, or both.” – medicinenet.

All of that is such shit. Not because it is not true but because it’s just fear mongering.Theres is one true point then the rest is a repeat of that one point. Very stupid.
True – and that is also based on tobacco-based flavours. I use tabaccoless molasses.
Bull. It’s just more tobacco marketing.
Number 7 is the worst. Anything involving sharing mouthpieces with others can spread herpes. This is why you have separate hoses for each person, or hookah-condoms available for each person.
Riiight. Where the shit these so-called facts come from?
whats the effects of a hookah if i smoke it out of my ass?
I’m sure this would only be true if you smoke hookah everyday
this is really just made to scare you, and who inhales every time? usually smoke is for taste, with a water hookah smoking this way is much safer and more fun =] its all common knowledge, smoking anything is bad because of tar and carcinogens, but not as bad as it is portrayed, also would you rather sit around with some beers? cuz alcohol kills brain cells while smoking doesnt
Loll fuckk u niggerss , hookah is the best for ur healthh niggaaaa .. im 14 and i smoke it everyday for hourssss *_*
@hookah 420
fuck off i inhale everytime. and why wouldnt you just smoke weed out of a vaporizor– marijuana is the way to go man
healthy and high as fuck
it is the smoke that is dangerous. ANY form of smoke is dangerous. be it burning rubber, some shitty chemical, cigarette, hookah… simply put, you see the smoke because it has solid particles in it. or you would not simply see a gas. the solid particles are dangerous.
@Mohammed Chahinee

loll hookah may cause impotence hahaha…. thats y in india they have so many people rite? people smoke hookah in the villages all the time. jsut drive through the rural areas. theres chain hookah resturants in india too. hookah causes impotence haha good one
You might wanna read over those again.
@#2: If hookah caused infertility, so would cigarettes and all other forms of tobacco, as well as most candy. There’s nothing different about hookah tobacco. It’s simply soaked in flavoured molasses.
@#4: I assume that by saying “waterpipe,” they were trying to include bongs and such used for marijuana. One problem with this: A waterpipe doesn’t add anything to the smoke. How could it possibly add symptoms? And in the case of marijuana, there are 0 documented cases of any type of cancer being caused by smoking it, or by simply using utensils associated with it.
@#7: LOL. Are they claiming that hookahs randomly generate herpes viruses? They carry the same risk of herpes as literally every other object on the planet. The only difference is that hookah lounges actually give you individual plastic mouthpieces.
@#8: Uhhh…this contradicts #3. #3 being absolutely true.
@#10: Same problem as with #4 and #2.
good to know.
@NotSoAnonymous
cigarettes do cause infertility.
and hookah can spread* herpes.
some people dnt think/care about the mouthpieces and some places dnt give them unless asked. by then people can already be catching the herp.
this is the stupidest shit ever
man, quit being a little bitch
[__] <— that's your wang, actual authentic size
this is some bullshit how can hookah smoke wchich contains no tar and 0.05% nicotine be as bad as cigarettes?? it also doesnt have any of the 5 billion other chemicals that cigarettes have. i smoke everyday like two to four times a day for like about three years now and i am still as healthy as a horse still play basketball and can run for days. so you can just suck people who claim that hookah is bad for you. BITCHES!!!
this is shit… I smoke hookah a lot and I’ve smoked cigarettes and smokeing cigarettes makes me way more sick than hookah. So this is bull shit. And who ever wrote this is dumb sorry you have no life buddy.
