Smoking of tobacco via hookah (waterpipe) originated around 400 years ago in India and ancient Persia, while smoking of paper wrapped tobacco (cigarettes) originated 200-300 years ago in Spain. Effects of combustion-based smoking have been widely studied, with the vast majority of data arising from tobacco cigarette studies. Smoking adversely affects many aspects of human health, but the impact on cardiovascular disease is particularly profound1, 2. Early in the 2000’s electronic (e)-cigarettes emerged as alternative nicotine delivery devices. While conventional tobacco products generate smoke via combustion of tobacco leaves, e-cigarettes generate aerosols (commonly called vapor) from heating and aerosolizing (e-) liquids containing nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerin, and flavoring chemicals.Since e-cigarettes entered the international market in 2007, they have evolved to include mimics of other, non-cigarette-based combustion smoking1, including hookah. Hookah, also known as shisha, are water pipes where flavored tobacco is charcoal-heated and burned to create smoke, which is bubbled through water prior to inhalation (Figure 1A). Hookah were originally thought to be safer than conventional tobacco smoking due to the passage of smoke through water prior to inhalation, which was believed to detoxify the smoke. However, while the water cools the smoke, it does not remove toxins. In fact, cooling the smoke allows the smoker to inhale larger quantities of smoke deeper into the lungs. Shockingly, based on the chemical content of hookah smoke, frequency of puffing, depth of inhalation, and session duration, one hookah session can be equivalent to smoking 49-56 cigarettes (2.5-3 packs) 3, 4.
