the smoke from a packet of B&H cigarettes.

asthma, leading to reduced response to steroid
medicine and a worsening of lung function
22. • Cardiovascular Effects

69.
70. • each hookah session typically lasts from 20 –
80 minutes and consists of 50 – 200 puffs
which range from 0.15 – 1 liter per puff .
• This exposes the hookah smoker to
considerably more smoke over a longer time
period compared with a cigarette which
ranges from 0.5 – 0.6 liters per cigarette.
71. • While the water absorbs some of the nicotine
in the tobacco smoke, the smoker can be
exposed to enough nicotine to cause addiction
.
72. • Other research shows that a 45 minute
session of hookah tobacco smoking (tobacco
molasses) delivers slightly more tar and
carbon monoxide (around 5-10%) than a pack
of cigarettes.
• With high temperatures for the tobacco (600650 degrees C), the carcinogenic and toxin
levels of smoke increases dramatically .
73. Hookah smoking points to dangers that are
similar to those linked with cigarette
smoking.

compounds like CO.
75. • Sharing a waterpipe mouthpieces posses
a serious risk of transmission of TB and
