Objective: There are limited data on the acute effects of water-pipe tobacco smoking, commonly known as water-pipe smoking (WPS), on cardiopulmonary parameters. This study evaluated the acute effects of a single 30-min session of WPS on carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels, pulmonary function test results, vital signs, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) levels, and exhaled breath condensate (EBC) cytokine levels in volunteers in a domestic, open-air, group smoking setting.Methods: This prospective study evaluated the above-noted outcome parameters before and after 3,0 min of WPS. The primary outcome parameter was the change in COHb levels.Results: Forty-five volunteers (30 men, 15 women), aged 32.35 +/- 15.33 years, were recruited. After one session of WPS, the COHb levels rose significantly, from 1.47%+/- 0.57% (median 1.4) to 9.47%+/- 5.52% (median 7.4), P
