INTRODUCTION

Smoking is an addiction, once started hard to stop. People in their young age get

fascinated by friends and relatives and start smoking. Water pipes, also known as

hookahs, shisha or hubble-bubble pipes have long been used for smoking tobacco in the

Middle East and parts of Africa and Asia. According to studies shisha was invented in

India by a physician during the reign of Emperor Akbar. Another physician Hakim Abul

Fath suggested that tobacco should pass a certain amount of water so that it is less

harmful for health. People found this activity to be interesting and less harmful. It is a

social activity where two or more persons share the same pipe. Shisha smoking is now

days very common among young people and audiences, unaware to the hazards of

smoking.

Shisha generally consist of a head, body, water bowl and hose. Tobacco, which may be

flavored with fruits and sugar syrup, is placed in the head and often covered with

aluminum foil. Flaming charcoal is placed on top of the foil. Water is filled in the bowl,

submerging a tube through which smoke leaves. Sucking on the hose causes a vacuum in

the air space above the water, causing smoke to pass through the water producing

bubbles.

The World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control regulates

the contents and emissions of tobacco by testing and producing results of their various

researches. Their purpose is to address the growing concerns and potential health

problems of tobacco smoking through water pipes. Although the hookah might filter out

some irritants, the smoke nevertheless contains high levels of nicotine, carbon monoxide

and other toxic chemicals. The trouble is scientists cant say exactly how unhealthy it is,

particularly compared with cigarettes.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

METHODS

Two methods have been used in order to conduct this research and to get appropriate.

ARCHIVAL METHOD

This method used to carry out the information about the introduction of shisha in this

world. The sources of information were internet, articles, and newspaper.

SAMPLING

100 samples were collected from different parts of cities (many old age people not aware

of shisha).The respondents were usually teen agers and all are studying in a healthy

environment. Some of them refuses to fill the samples.

RESEARCH RESULT

A key sticking point among researchers is the question of just how much nicotine and

other dangerous chemicals are contained in hookah and how much of that is absorbed by

the body. Hookah sessions typically last for 20 to 80 minutes. According to World Health

Organization Advisory, 40 to 45 minutes session of shisha smoking is equivalent to 100

cigarettes. Public health experts worry that hookah smoking might led to cigarette

smoking. Preliminary research supports the idea that it is closely associated with cigarette

Smoking and involves unique health risks. One survey suggested that 28 percent of

freshmen at a private university had tried hookahs,

HEALTH IMPACT

There is a misconception that shisha filters the toxic substances, also the use of herbs,

fruits and flavorings make hookah less harmful. However water pipe smoking delivers

nicotine, toxic compounds, heavy metals and cancer causing chemicals. After 45 minutes

of smoking, expired air carbon mono oxide, plasma nicotine and heart rate increases. This

contributes to the risk of lung, mouth and bladder cancer. Sharing a water pipe

mouthpiece also poses a severe risk of transmission of communicable diseases, including

tuberculosis and hepatitis.

SUGGESTED ACTIONS

Since the 1990s, however, hookah use has rapidly expanded, spreading from the Middle

East to other parts of the world. Hookah bars, cafes, and restaurants lure customers

through advertising in college/university and local newspapers, radio stations popular

among young people, and by emphasizing exotic aspects of Middle Eastern.

Studies have proved that water pipe smoking increases due to lack of awareness among

students and young people about the hazards of smoking hookah. Policies to ban smoking

of shisha should be implemented to reduce smoking activities in public places. Clean

indoor legislations are recently passed but these bars and cafes are likely to exempt laws.

Develop, support, and expand health education to enhance knowledge, change attitudes,

and correct misperceptions about hookah use and its effects. Other policies that would

reduce the harmful effects of hookah smoking include requiring hookah bars to ask all

customers for their I.D.s to prevent minors from buying or smoking tobacco on their

premises and ensuring that they provide plastic, disposable mouth pieces or nozzles to

prevent the transmittal of infections among users sharing the same water pipe.
