Hookah Not Better Than Regular Tobacco

According to a recent study released by the Mashhad University of Medical Science, in Iran, and confirmed by the Israel Cancer Association shows that hookah may not be healthier than regular smoking.

In fact, it may actually be worse.

To start with, the tobacco used for hookah, is watered with sewage water, which contains human waste.

The vapor, which is breathed in, contains arsenic, lead, nicotine, coal tar, and other harmful substances.

Hookah's sweet odor and flavor are actually additives used to disguise the other substances.

Several of the ingredients have been known to cause mutations in lab animals, not to mention cancer and other health issues.

As a result, Israel has already increased taxes on hookah tobacco to be even with that of regular tobacco.
