Is smoking hookah really safer than cigs?!


Question:

Is smoking hookah really safer than cigs?

I read this article online and I personally do not think so because the tobacco in hookah is natural. Please read article before answering.

How many times do I have to tell you not to believe everything you read? Especially from someone's blog!

It's unlikely to be safer. Here's an article from the Mayo Clinic, which is a well-respected source of health information:

Here's a report form the World Health Organization:

i will read it now but here is another opinion... this article says it poses the same threat if not more.....i think both should be avoided

It really doesnt matter because why would you do either?

Think about it like this, would you rather shoot yourself in the leg or stab yourself. If using a hooka is safer it's not by much and even that depends on the individual.
