The dangers of hookah
Medical alert: ensure that the new trend among young people is very dangerous. The hookah is as harmful as cigarette!
Where there's smoke, there's sometimes a narghile – and therein lies the danger. Because the traditional pipe d ´ waterused for millennia in the countries of Southeast Asia and the Middle East now is the new fashion among young people inBrazil.
It all started with the display on a tv soap opera. Then bars and restaurants joined the wave to please customers. So, by word of mouth, it became a fashion fever. Due to the mixture of numerous essences, the narghile has varied aromas. It is made with a special smoke (a molasses, a by-product of sugar). The best-known flavours are: peach, Green Apple, coconut,flowers and honey.
It works when is sucked through a tube that reduces the pressure inside the unit, causing the air heated by the coal through the smoke, producing smoke. The smoke goes down to the base, where it is cooled and filtered through water, whichretains some solid particles. The smoke follows the tube until it is consumed by the user with the essence flavor chosen.
According to Dr. Sérgio Ricardo Santos (next photo), President of the Commission of smoking the Paulista society ofPneumology and Tisiologia (SPPT), the hookah pipes, cause even more evils than the cigarette, the potential to transmitinfectious diseases also-since it is used by more than one person at the same time without proper sterilization. It is worth remembering that its use is prohibited for children under 18 years, as well as the cigarette.
Health effects
Also known as ' hookah ' in English-speaking countries, or by ' shisha ' in North Africa, the hookah pipes can cause several diseases, being the the most respiratory observed. Respiratory specialists warn that 50 hits are sufficient to vitiate. This occurs due to nicotine, which causes the so-called feeling of well-being, warns Dr. José Eduardo Delfini Cançado, President of SPPT.
Recent studies contradict the popular belief that the water would help to filter the impurities of the smoke, making it lessharmful. The World Health Organisation (who) warns that the smoke inhaled in a hookah session, which can last between20 minutes and an hour, corresponds to inhalation of 100 to 200 cigarettes. And are consumed up to 10 liters of smoke,because the presence of water causes if aspire more smoke, which becomes more tolerable. In this way, inhale greateramounts of toxins.
What many think erroneously that this kind of smoke is not as harmful to your health. Far from it: by contain many toxins,can even cause lung cancer, and heart disease, tuberculosis, herpes, hepatitis and others. "The only way to minimize the evils caused by hookah pipes, is to prevent the use and don't aspire to smoke"
