Is hookah more harm full than cigarette?

Question

Is hookah more harm full than cigarette?

Answer 1

Definately not.  

Answer 2

one research show that an average session of hookah smoking lasts an hour, or 171 puffs of tobacco smoke. This is similar to inhaling the smoke of about 100 cigarettes and sometimes the session can be longer than 2 hours.

Another approach found that each puff of hookah smoke has the same level of tar and almost three times the nicotine, the addictive alkaloid of tobacco, found in cigarette smoke.

What’s worse is how hookahs are lit, with a piece of charcoal. On top of extra nicotine and cancer-causing compounds, you inhale a lot more toxic carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas which in chronic exposure induces severe damages, including irreversible brain injury. Moreover, hookah smoke contains three times more carbon dioxide than cigarette smoke.

What fools the consumers is that hookah smoke doesn’t smell bad and doesn’t leave a bad taste in your mouth. But the water does not filter anything out; it just cools the smoke down: this prolongs inhalation and contact with teeth and gums. That's why hookah smokers are five times more vulnerable to develop mouth disease than nonsmokers, while cigarette smokers only by 3.8 times.

Asma warns about a severe lack of long-term researches to detect health problems linked to hookah smoking.

Answer 4

I don't believe so, only because your smoking pure tobacco, not all the garbage they load into making a cigarette.  I don't know, makes sense to me.

Finally proof it's not!

All the idiots that say it's like 100 Cigarettes still believe in Bigfoot, Bat Boy, Loch Ness Monster, and think Rosie O'Donnell is a decent person!
