FACTS ABOUT SHEESHA
Waterpipe smokers are at risk of the same kind of diseases as are caused by
cigarette smoking, including cancer, heart disease, respiratory disease and
adverse effects during pregnancy.
• Using a waterpipe to smoke tobacco poses a serious potential health hazard to smokers and
others exposed to the smoke.
• Sheesha smoke contains high levels of chemicals and poisons, including carbon monoxide,
tar and heavy metals.
• Many of these chemicals are known to cause mouth and lung cancers, heart disease,
respiratory and other diseases.
• Even though it has passed through water, the levels of toxins in sheesha smoke can be as
high or higher than in cigarette smoke.
• Water-pipe smokers may absorb higher concentrations of these chemicals because of higher
concentrations in the smoke itself, or because they may smoke for several hours at a time
and may inhale moisturized, less irritating smoke more deeply.
• In a sheesha session lasting 60 minutes, a smoker can inhale as much smoke as a cigarette
smoker would inhale from 100 – 200 cigarettes.
• Second-hand smoke from sheesha is an extremely harmful mixture of tobacco smoke and
smoke from the fuel (charcoal).
• Non smokers, particularly pregnant women, babies, children and the elderly are at risk from
breathing in sheesha smoke.
Using a waterpipe to smoke tobacco is NOT a safe alternative to cigarette
smoking.

so what’s our duty as a Muslim and a believer here .. Encourage other naïve people by posting a preparation video with that ‘ enjoy ‘ tag line ?
or should we discourage and politely ask them to avoid doing such things by sharing side effects of this yoke ..
The call is yours .. Brother ….

Re: Guide to Making Sheesha

Some people here enjoy it, just like any other harmful things we consume. However, I could put a disclaimer and tell them its bad for them :aq:
