Shisha

Shisha is among the latest form of youth and

Middle-age group form of clubs-best-narcotics

having gained popularity in the recent past

It is mainly enjoyed in groups from a shared pipe and

Most people have come up with theories that shisha is much better

than cigar. But for me i wouldn’t trade any of the two for the other, they are all equally harmful

Shisha is in no way

beneficial or less harmful to one's health

compared to cigarettes.

 Here's just a few reasons why:

1. Myth: The water is said to act as a filter

and thus the smoke we inhale is supposedly

"clean". Well, that's not true. In fact water

moisture just makes the smoke less irritating

and gives us the impression that the smoke is

cleaner and makes it less irritating.

 

2. There is less tobacco in Shisha than in

cigarettes. That may be true, but a typical

Shisha session lasts from 40-60 minutes

each time and most of the time, people do get

a fresh batch after. WHO advisory have

shown that one is exposed to as much as 200

times more smoke from a Shisha session than

a single stick of cigarette.

3. You are still basically smoking the same

things as a cigarette. Carbon Monoxide?

Check. Carcinogens? Check.

So before you think Shisha is a better

substitute to cigarettes, think again and again. Our

minds will tell us it is because of the false

sense of security and reduced health risks

Shisha comes with, when it really isn't.

Have you or your friends thought the same

thing, that by smoking Shisha, it would be

easier to wean of cigarettes? Do you still want

Shisha? and if so, have you changed your

perspective after reading this?
