Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction Smoking is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Hookah (ie, waterpipe) smoking is a centuries-old revived yet understudied global epidemic of tobacco use. Because of the traditional set-up of a hookah-pipe, in addition to inhaling tobacco-combustion products, smokers are also exposed to large amounts of charcoal combustion products from the burning charcoal briquettes used to heat the hookah flavored tobacco. Despite being heavily advertised and actively glamorized in the mass media as a healthier tobacco alternative, the toxicological constituents of hookah smoke—including nicotine, carbon monoxide, particulates, oxidants, heavy metals, phenols and flavorants—indicate the potential to cause adverse cardiovascular events. Methods Herein, we review evidence on hookah smoke toxicological constituents, cardiovascular effects and potential mechanisms by which hookah smoke aerosol could cause cardiovascular disease. Results The evidence reviewed here indicates that contrary to the widespread popular belief that hookah is a healthier tobacco alternative, the constituents of hookah smoke aerosol contains similar chemicals compared to cigarette smoke, many of which are known to be harmful to cardiovascular health and mediated by similar pathophysiologic processes. Because the burning charcoal briquettes are a unique source of toxicant emissions specific to hookah smoking, some constituents differ in their quantities from cigarettes with some of their cardiovascular effects unknown. Conclusions To date, much more is known about the constituents and their toxicology than about the effects of hookah smoking on human cardiovascular health. Further research on long-term consequences of hookah use is needed. Implications This review provides an overview on the potential impact of hookah smoking on cardiovascular health. Readers will gain an insight into evidence on its toxicological constituents, human health effects, and pathophysiological mechanisms by which hookah smoking might cause cardiovascular disease. The review also highlights current research gaps regarding the cardiovascular consequences of hookah smoking, specifically the long-term consequences in the United States and Europe among flavored-hookah tobacco users.

Full textAbstract:
Hookahs are water pipes that are used to smoke specially made tobacco mixtures that come in a wide variety of flavors. They usually work by passing charcoal-heated air through the tobacco mixture and ultimately through a water-filled chamber. A user then inhales the smoke through a tube and mouthpiece. The youngsters of today mistakenly believe that smoking hookah or shisha are less harmful than smoking a regular cigarette because the tobacco is filtered through water. Sadly there is no scientific evidence for this statement. Unlike cigarette tobacco, the hookah tobacco is colorfully packed and sold in different flavors like apple, mint, cherry, chocolate, coconut, licorice, cappuccino, watermelon & candy which appeals the youngsters and convinces them to think, it's not as harmful as smoking a cigarette. Well, it’s like consuming a “sugar coated poison” and also many people smoke hookah in lounges, clubs & cafe, so it is perceived to be a social activity which is harmless & safe. The other shocking & dangerous side of this story is most of the tobacco marketed to hookah users does not carry a health warning, leading to the misperception that it is not harmful for the health. Hookah smoking is associated to Lung, bladder, stomach, esophageal and oral cancers. It also leads to Heart disease and other serious conditions, such as lung diseases and carbon monoxide poisoning.It also leads to Heart disease and other serious conditions, such as lung diseases and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of exposure to hookah smoke on the respiratory capacity of employees working in hookah cafes in Bandar Abbas. Methods: A total of 75 employees of hookah cafes and 64 people in the control group were the target population. Participants without a history of smoking, diabetes, and hypertension were included in the study. First, the height and weight of subjects were measured and then a respiratory test was performed by an occupational medicine specialist. At the same time, a checklist was completed, which contained demographic characteristics, history of working in hookah cafes, pulmonary diseases, hypertension, smoking, exercising, and a second job. Results: The mean age of the case and control groups was found to be 31.41 and 30.73 years, respectively. The mean values of the indices in the case and the control groups were as follows: forced expiratory volume (FEV1): 84.4% and 89.9%, forced vital capacity (FVC): 91.5% and 91.1%, forced expiratory flow 25-75 (FEF25-75): 78.7% and 75.9%, and peak expiratory flow (PEF): 87.2% and 95.2%, respectively. A significant relationship was found between exposure to hookah smoke and the lung capacity of employees working in hookah cafes (P <0.001). Conclusion: Based on the findings of the study and in order to reduce passive exposure to hookah smoke and its negative consequences, officials should review and apply strict rules on hookah use and monitor and control the air quality inside hookah cafes.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Hookah smoking is growing worldwide and particularly in Iran. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of obstructive pulmonary dysfunction in hookah smokers. We conducted a population-based study in Bushehr Province, Iran. A total of 245 subjects aged 35 years or older who were taking hookah for at least 15 years and 245 healthy controls were enrolled in the study and spirometry was done. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS for windows software version 19. The prevalence of COPD among the exposed group of hookah smoke was 10.2%, with the rate being significantly higher in the patients with older age ( p < 0.001), duration of hookah smoking ( p < 0.001), men ( p = 0.026), ≥3 hookahs/day ( p = 0.006), history of cough for ≥2 years ( p = 0.002), in patients with a history of sputum for ≥2 years ( p = 0.031), and in patients with a history of dyspnea for ≥2 years ( p = 0.001). The results of the logistic regression analysis demonstrated that older age, male gender, smoking, and occupational exposure were independent predictive factors for COPD. The results of our study suggest that hookah smoking significantly increases the risk of COPD. Given the importance of COPD in the global burden of diseases, it is necessary to carry out further studies on the relationship between hookah use and COPD.

Objective The objective was to evaluate the early-stage immunoexpression of markers (COX-2, NF-kB, VEGFR-1 and apoptotic index) related to inflammation, angiogenesis, and cell survival in the tongue dorsum epithelium of mice exposed to hookah smoke. Materials and methods The sample consisted of Swiss mice (N = 20), female gender, aged 2 months, and approximately 25g each, four groups (n = 5) mice: group exposed to fresh air and groups exposed to hookah smoke for 7, 15, and 30 days. Tongues were embedded in paraffin. A tissue microarray was constructed, and immunohistochemistry was performed for Cyclooxygenase 2, NF-kappa B, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 1, and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) for apoptotic analysis. The positive and negative cells were quantified in the epithelium of the mid-dorsal tongue region. Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests was made. Results The apoptotic index was higher at 30 days of smoke exposure (20.38% basal/ 19.63%/ suprabasal) compared to the group exposed to air (9.55%/ 11.88%), The expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 1 was higher at 30 days of smoke exposure (30.15%/ 38.15%) compared to the group exposed to air (18.25%/ 3.60%). Conclusion Hookah smoke induced greater apoptosis and increased expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 1 in the epithelium of the tongue at 30 days, potentially playing a role in the initial stages of carcinogenesis, in the early stages of hookah use.

Full textAbstract:
Hookah smoking is becoming a popular trend globally. Waterpipe smoking is the second most prevalent form of alternate tobacco products. The rapid increase in hookah use is because of the misconception prevalent in society that hookah smoking is less harmful than cigarette smoking. Smoking ban policies had given impetus of switching from cigarette smoking to alternate tobacco products like waterpipe. Hookah users regard hookah to be more socially acceptable, less stigmatizing with flavors and to alleviate cigarette craving symptoms. Newer basic science research on animal models and human cells has shown consistently mutagenic, oxidative, and inflammatory changes that could cause possible health effects of premalignant oral lesion and chronic diseases like atherosclerosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Studies on the chemistry of waterpipe smoke had shown alarming results with the smoke containing seven carcinogens, 39 central nervous system depressants, and 31 respiratory irritants. Enormous data exist showing waterpipe smoking causing various health effects. Hookah smoking effects on cardiovascular disease is additive with hookah containing a significant amount of nicotine, tar, and heavy metals causing both acute and chronic effects on the cardiovascular system. These effects include increased heart rate, blood pressure, prevalence of coronary heart disease, heart failure, ST-segment elevation myocardial ischemia, recurrent ischemia, and worse outcomes including mortality related to these diseases. The objectives of the review are to assess the factor associated with the increasing use of hookah, its health effects, options for hookah smoking cessation, and public health policy initiatives to mitigate waterpipe use.

Background and Objective: Inhalation of chemicals and toxins in cigarette and hookah smoke results in loss of integrity of oral cavity tissues. The objective of this study was to compare the periodontal health of hookah and cigarette smokers.
 
 Materials and Methods: In this study, 73 men at the age group of 20-35 years who smoked hookah for more than 5 years and 73 men at the same age who smoked cigarette for more than 5 years and 73 healthy men referred to the periodontal department of Mashhad dentistry school were selected and studied. Periodontal indices including pocket depth, GI, BOP, CAL were assessed in two groups. Also, using parallel periapical radiography, mesial and distal marginal bone level around the first molar tooth was measured. Finally, the data were assessed and compared using appropriate statistical analysis.
 
 Results: Pocket depth was 24.27% and 23.62%, respectively, in cigarette smokers and hookah smokers, and it was 0.96% in healthy subjects, clinical attachment level was 4.48 and 4.41 mm, respectively, in cigarette smokers and hookah smokers, and it was 0.77 mm in healthy subjects. Gingival index (GI) was 1.40 and 1.42, respectively, in cigarette smokers and hookah smokers and it was 0.52 in healthy subjects, BOP value was 6.52 and 6.52%, respectively, in cigarette smokers and hookah smokers and it was 10.86% in healthy subjects. Mesial marginal bone level of first lower molar tooth was 2.27 and 2.32 mm, respectively, in cigarette smokers and hookah smokers and it was 1.74 mm in healthy subjects and distal marginal bone level of lower first molar tooth was 2.38 and 2.35 mm, respectively, in cigarette smokers and hookah smokers and it was 1.75 mm in healthy subjects. Comparison of results between the two groups of cigarette smokers and hookah smokers did not show any significant relationship in any of the variables, but there was a significant relationship between the two groups and the healthy group (P &lt;0.001).
 
 Conclusion: Periodontal parameters in healthy individuals are significantly better than those of smokers. Also, although there is a relationship between cigarette smoking and hookah smoking and periodontal parameters, these two groups do not show a significant difference in terms of periodontal parameters.

Background: Hookah Smoking is very popular among men and women (young men, old men, and women). In spite of this, it is a severe risk to health and represents one of the major causes of worldwide death, and the scientific studies have supported that smoking through hookah as an alternative to smoking tobacco has many dangerous effects on human health.Methods: A sample of 210 participants was selected randomly by choosing the odd number from the Mosul Technical Institute students for the period from 1 October 2020 to 1 January 2021. A questionnaire was used to interview the students who took part in the present study in order to estimate the prevalence of shisha smoking among the participating sample; the respondents were given a brief idea of the study objectives, and their knowledge of shisha smoking and related diseases was verified through a questionnaire. Data were analyzed using frequency and percentage. The study has been approved by the ethics committee of the institute.Results: The result showed that out of 210 students who participated in this study, there were 58 smokers, 22 (34%) of them smoked shisha alone, 15 (23%) smoked cigarettes only, and 28 (43%) smoked hookah and cigarettes. The highest percentage of hookah smokers (71.0%) was in the age group (21-23), compared to 0.5% in the age group (27+). Most students avoided smoking in front of the family (78.6%) while they preferred to smoke a hookah with friends (66.2%). The majority of the participating answered that hookah smoking is more expensive than cigarettes (67.1%), and that is the reason for their preference for cigarettes over hookah, with a mean of 0.48, SD of 0.50, and 51.9%. Regarding the degree of students’ awareness in general about whether smoking shisha is less dangerous to health than smoking cigarettes, the degree of knowledge was weak. It was found that the cognitive level was poor and acceptable among the majority of the sample (67%). Regarding the prevalence of behavioral beliefs associated with hookah smoking, the survey indicated that the prevalence of correct ideas and beliefs prevailing among the sample members reached 53% and that 47% of the sample members had a wrong idea about the prevalence of hookah. Also, the association between the duration of smoking and study specialization was shown to be statistically significant (p=0.75*).Conclusion: Hookah smoking is still a popular health-threatening behavior for college students and young adults. This study indicated that there is a high percentage of hookah smoking among the study sample and that the participants in this study lack sufficient knowledge, lack of awareness, and the beliefs and misconceptions associated with hookah smoking, which requires governmental measures to reduce the harmful spread among students.

The aim of the study is to determine the main physical and chemical characteristics of water pipe (hookah) tobacco mixtures sold on the Bulgarian market. The regarded type of tobacco product focuses researchers’ interest due to its specific composition, consumption qualities and increasing popularity, especially among younger people, but the available information on the composition and indicators of hookah tobaccos in Bulgaria is too limited. The content of tobacco shreds (from 31.11% to 77.41%) and moisture (30-40%) in the hookah mixtures were analyzed, as well as the main chemical indicators of tobacco and smoke – total reducing sugars, ash, nicotine, total and dry particulate matter, etc. The nicotine content in three of the five samples tested was extremely low – below 0.12%. The amounts of total particulate matter, TPM (from 377.36 to 427.85 mg/g of burnt tobacco) and dry particulate matter, DPM (from 56.34 to 128.20 mg/g of burnt tobacco) were higher than those in cigarette smoke. The obtained results expand the knowledge about this non-traditional for Bulgaria, but increasingly popular tobacco product.

Rationale. Tobacco smoking remains a serious health risk factor both in the world and in Russia. Special attention is paid to the protection of young generations from exposure to smoking and the harmful effects of tobacco. The purpose of the study based on a comparative analysis of the dynamics of tobacco smoking among rural adolescents in 2001-2017, to assess the changes that have occurred and justify proposals to reduce smoking among minors. Materials and methods. A sample of adolescents in each subject of the Russian Federation was formed by multi-stage selection: typological, random and continuous examination. In 20012002, 16 743 rural teenagers (7468 boys and 9275 girls) were interviewed, in 20162017 18 222 teenagers (8208 boys and 10 014 girls). Statistical development of materials was carried out using the computer program Risk Factors (AnkProc). Results. During the period from 20012002 to 20162017, the prevalence of smoking among boys decreased by 2.7 times, and among girls by 3 times. The number of boys who smoked remained higher than the number of girls who smoked (by 2 times). The proportion of teenagers who smoked based on the emerging addiction (like, out of habit, I cant quit) I grew up among both boys and girls. During the period under review, the predominant motive of the first smoking test, both boys and girls, remained curiosity. The age interval of initiation to tobacco smoking has not changed either (from 10 years to 17 years inclusive). The peak of initiation to smoking in 20012002, and in 20162001 boys accounted for up to 10 years inclusive, and among girls for 1314 years. In 20162017, hookah smoking became popular among rural teenagers. The prevalence rates of hookah smoking were 13.5 per 100 boys and 10.3 per 100 girls. 55.7% of boys and 44.9% of girls smoked hookah with tobacco. Hookah smoking was primarily addressed by teenagers who did not smoke (62.0% of boys and 76.0% of girls). Among hookah smokers, 34.3% of boys and 21.2% of girls smoked tobacco products weekly. Conclusion. A comparative analysis showed a significant decrease in the prevalence of smoking among rural adolescent schoolchildren in the Russian Federation.

Many biomedical studies of the past seven years have failed in giving a sound picture of what hookah (shisha, narghile, goza) smoke and smoking are. The reasons are many: from the widespread use of a confusing neologism (“waterpipe”) instead of the few clear and natural words used for centuries by indigenous and non-indigenous people in their real life, to the use of artificial smoking (machines) instead of relying on quantitative and qualitative analysis of toxicants directly performed on real hookah smokers.

Full textAbstract:
Hookah smoking has become common in the USA, especially among young adults. This study measured biomarkers of exposure to known tobacco product toxicants in a population-based sample of exclusive, established hookah users. Urinary biomarker data from 1753 adults in Wave 1 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study were used to compare geometric mean concentrations of biomarkers of exposure in exclusive, established past 30-day hookah users to never users of tobacco. Geometric mean ratios were calculated comparing hookah user groups with never users adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, past 30-day marijuana use, secondhand smoke exposure and creatinine. Past 30-day hookah users (n = 98) had 10.6 times the urinary cotinine level of never tobacco users. Compared to never tobacco users, past 30-day hookah users had 2.3 times the level of the carcinogen 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL), a metabolite of the tobacco-specific nitrosamine (TSNA) 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), 1.3 times higher polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) 3-hydroxyfluorene and 1-hydroxypyrene, 1.8 times higher levels of acrylonitrile, 1.3 times higher levels of acrylamide, and 1.2 times higher levels of acrolein exposure. These data indicate that hookah use is a significant source of exposure to nicotine, carcinogens, and respiratory toxicants.

Background: Evidence shows that environmental and social factors may influence people’s behavior and their choice to smoke hookah. This study determines the effective factors in hookah consumption behavior and designs an educational intervention program based on social cognitive theory to reduce hookah consumption among women in Bandar Abbas City, Hormozgan Province, Iran. Materials and Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted with two groups (intervention group and control group) using the framework of social cognition theory in women with over 15 years of hookah consumption. The sample size for each group was estimated at 120 people. They were randomly selected within 2 stages from four comprehensive health service centers (2 intervention centers and 2 control centers) in Bandar Abbas City, Iran. The tool for data collection was a researcher-made questionnaire, which was validated. The educational intervention was conducted in six face-to-face and six non-face-to-face sessions in 2 months with a three-month follow-up. One of the primary outcomes of this study was the reduction of hookah use, and the secondary outcomes included quitting hookah and changes in the determinants of hookah consumption. Conclusion: The results of this study provided information about the determinants of hookah use in women, thereby helping policymakers, government, society, health professionals, and families to take necessary measures to reduce or quit smoking.

Smoking in all its manifestations (cigarettes, cigars, calamities, pipe tobacco, hookah, snuff, snus, betel, quid), as well as the impact of its combustion products on non-smokers (passive or forced smoking), significantly increase the incidence and premature deaths caused by more than 20 different diseases. Physical and psychological dependence on nicotine develops much faster than on alcohol. Cigarette smoking immediately affects the human body and creates long-term effects. Immediate exposure is a consequence of increased levels of adrenaline in the blood and is to increase heart rate by 30%, blood pressure - by 5-10 mm Hg. Art., slowing of peripheral blood circulation, which causes a decrease in temperature of the upper and lower extremities. An analysis of the survey showed that 100% of respondents understand the harmful effects of smoking on health. Among the respondents, 81.2% of respondents smoke or have tried at least once, but only 18.2% have never smoked. The first attempt to smoke in 57.6% of respondents was for the company, and 42.4% out of curiosity. In 21.2% of respondents, one parent smokes, in 39.4% - both parents smoke, and in 39.4% of respondents, parents do not smoke. To the question, "Do you smoke regularly?" 33.3% answered -yes, 66.7% - no. When determining the habit of smoking, 63.6% of respondents said that they have a psychological dependence, 36.4% - physical, ie most respondents smoke due to the psychological state when they experience stress, for emotional relief. Therefore, the urgency of the problem is due to the significant spread of smoking among the population of Ukraine, including among university students and the direct impact of smoking on their health and others.

Full textAbstract:
Hookah, with its aromatic tobacco content and intriguing apparatus, has shown a tendency of worldwide and national spread. More effort should be paid to chemicals that release dangerous substances such as nicotine into the environment, both globally and in our country, and changes in terminology connected to the problem should be examined. Hookah, which can be served in cafeterias along with various consumption items, is one of the elements that should be considered and discussed within the scope of public health. The issue of hookah smoking should be emphasized not only from the perspective of the enterprises or the consumer but also from the perspective of intermediate personnel. In this context, the situation of these employees, particularly exposed as passive smokers, has been one of the noteworthy aspects. In our paper, the exposure of employees working in hookah presentation services to hookah smoke will be examined from the perspective of occupational health and safety. Information will be provided about the basic components of hookah and its chemical effects, and the potential health problems caused by its components will be discussed. Findings obtained through a descriptive statistical analysis of a survey will be presented. In the study conducted for employees who prepare hookah for presentation and follow the smoking process, precautions that can be taken will be discussed, and the results obtained will be presented in the final section.

Full textAbstract:
Background Variation in alternative tobacco product (ATP) constituents, heating potential, and consumer behaviors have made it difficult to characterize their health risks. To date, most toxicity studies of ATPs have used established cigarette endpoints to inform study design. Furthermore, to assess where ATPs fall on the tobacco harm continuum, with cigarettes representing maximum potential risk, studies have tended to compare the relative biological responses to ATPs against those due to cigarettes. Objectives 1) To characterize the exhalation profiles of two popular ATPs: electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and hookah waterpipes (hookah) and 2) to determine if ATP exhalation patterns were representative of cigarette exhalation patterns. Methods Exhalation patterns were recorded (mouth only, nose only, or both mouth and nose) among individuals observed in the New York City tri-state area using a recognizable tobacco product (cigarette, e-cigarette, or hookah). Cigarette smokers and e-cigarette vapers were observed on city streets; water-pipe smokers were observed inside Manhattan hookah bars. Results E-cigarette vapers practiced exclusive nasal exhalation at far higher rates than did cigarette smokers (19.5% vs 4.9%). Among vapers, e-cigarette device type was also significantly associated with exhalation profile. Overall, cigarette smokers exhaled from their nose approximately half to one-third as often as ATP users (hookah and e-cigarettes, respectively). Conclusions Nasal exhalation of tobacco emissions appears to be a shared characteristic across several types of ATPs. It is therefore plausible that ATP-specific consumer behaviors may foster unique upper respiratory health consequences that have not been observed in smokers. Thus, product-specific behaviors should inform the prioritization of biological endpoints used in studies evaluating ATP toxicity and health effects.

Background: Hookah tobacco use is common among young adults. Unlike cigarette smoking, there is limited evidence on mobile (ie, mHealth) interventions to promote cessation. Objectives: This pilot study tested the preliminary effects of mobile messaging for cessation in young adult hookah smokers. Methods: Young adults (N = 20) aged 18 to 30 years who smoke hookah at least monthly and have done so at least once in the past 30 days received a 6-week mHealth multimedia messaging (text and images) intervention. Message scheduling (2 days/week × 6 weeks) was based on the literature. Content was developed iteratively by the study team and focused on health harms and addictiveness of hookah. Content was individually tailored by baseline hookah use frequency, risk beliefs, and responses to interactive text messages assessing participants’ hookah tobacco use behavior and beliefs to maximize impact. Engagement was assessed during the intervention, and we examined effects on risk perceptions, risk beliefs, and risk appraisals, motivation to quit, and behavior change immediately post-intervention. Results: Participants responded to 11.5 (SD = 0.69) of 12 text message prompts on average, endorsed high message receptivity (M = 6.1, SD = 0.93, range = 1-7), and reported the messages were helpful (M = 8.5, SD = 1.5, range = 1-10). There were significant ( P < .05) increases in risk perceptions (d’s = 0.22-0.88), risk appraisals (d = 0.49), risk beliefs (d = 1.11), and motivation to quit (d = 0.97) post-intervention. Half of participants reported reducing frequency of hookah use (20%) or quitting completely (30%) by end of treatment. Conclusions: These pilot results provide preliminary support for an mHealth messaging intervention about risks of hookah tobacco for promoting cessation. Rigorously examining the efficacy of this promising intervention is warranted.

Smoking remains a worldwide health hazard. Smokers don't only put themselves at risk of serious health problems, but people around them arealso exposed to such potential danger. This passive exposition iscalled: Second Hand Smoke (SHS).To limit the SHS contamination in an Environmental Tobacco Smoke a new “Healthy Second Hand Smoke (HSHS)” device was developed. In this paper,we will explainthe functioningbasics of the HSHS device. It ismainly based on an insulatedsmoke compartment with transparent view, placed in the area where smokers and non-smokers exist together. Smoker inhalesand exhalessmoke through an“HSHS”accessory called “hand”which is related to the compartment by two hoses.In this compartment, an aspiration system is used to evacuate the smoke. Theefficiencyof the “HSHS”deviceis thenevaluated. For four hookah smokers, the Carbonemonoxide gas concentration was measured during 30 min in a5.3m3unventilatedexperimentalroom. A comparison was made between the smoke concentration in the unventilated room, with and without the use of the HSHS device.Statistical tests were performed in order to insure the validity of the results thatwere taken for four smokers only.The results showthat the use of HSHS device reduces second hand hookahinhalationsmoke, in a 5.3 m3unventilated room, by95.9% ± 28.2%, 91.8% ± 37.5%, 97.8% ± 15.7% and 98.5% ± 66.2% during 10, 15, 20 and 25 minutesrespectively.As aconclusion, this new smoking concept opens the way forless invasive smoking habitsin crowded environments.

Purpose: The study purpose was to examine changes in patterns of ever and current dual- and polyproduct use over time and to examine demographic and modifiable risk factors including tobacco smoke exposure (TSE). Design: A secondary analysis of the 2013 to 2015 National Youth Tobacco Survey data. Setting: Nationwide high schools were selected. Subjects: A total of 31 022 high school students. Measures: Ever and current (past 30 days) tobacco/nicotine product use, home tobacco/nicotine product use, TSE and e-cigarette vapor exposure, and demographic characteristics were measured. Analysis: Multivariable logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression models. Results: Of the students, 9.4% were ever dual users and 18.6% were ever poly users. Rates of ever/current use of e-cigarettes and hookah increased from 2013 to 2015 (all Ps < .001). In 2015, participants were 4.8 times (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.5-5.2) and 4.0 times (95% CI, 3.5-4.4) more likely to report ever/current e-cigarette use and 1.61 times (95% CI, 1.5-1.7) and 1.48 times (95% CI, 1.3-1.7) more likely to report ever/current hookah use. Participants reporting TSE were 15.4 times (95% CI, 11.5-21.0) more likely to report current poly use, and those with e-cigarette exposure were 10.4 times (95% CI, 7.8-13.8) more likely to report current poly use. Conclusion: From 2013 to 2015, rates of ever and current use of e-cigarettes and hookah increased. Tobacco smoke and e-cigarette exposure were associated with higher rates of dual and poly use. Prevention efforts targeting these products are needed.

Introduction: In Mali, shisha has become the most common form of tobacco consumption, which is not without danger for the consumer health. The aim of this study was to assess the consumption level of shisha among young people in the District of Bamako. Methods: This was a prospective study from March 2019 to March 2020. A total of 200 young shisha smokers aged 40 or under were included in this study. Results: The male sex was predominant, with 75% of cases. The majority, or 81.5%, were under the age of 25. According to study data, 26% of respondents said they smoke shisha at least once a day. Over a quarter of cases reported concurrent use of two or more addictive substances. The most common association was with alcohol (13%), cannabis (9%) and cocaine (4.5%). According to the results, 69% of respondents thought that shisha is less harmful than cigarettes. Conclusion: Consumption of shisha has grown considerably in Mali in recent years. This study has highlighted a new form of multiple drug addiction, which could be harmful to the health of consumers. Thus, the authorities concerned must take appropriate measures to combat this scourge.

Objective: Cardiovascular disease is a major public health problem. Among cardiovascular disease’s risk factors, tobacco smoking is considered the single most preventable cause of death, with thrombosis being the main mechanism of cardiovascular disease mortality in smokers. While tobacco smoking has been on the decline, the use of waterpipes/hookah has been rising, mainly due to the perception that they are less harmful than regular cigarettes. Strikingly, there are few studies on the negative effects of waterpipes on the cardiovascular system, and none regarding their direct contribution to thrombus formation. Approach and Results: We used a waterpipe whole-body exposure protocol that mimics real-life human exposure scenarios and investigated its effects, relative to clean air, on platelet function, hemostasis, and thrombogenesis. We found that waterpipe smoke (WPS)–exposed mice exhibited both shortened thrombus occlusion and bleeding times. Further, our results show that platelets from WPS-exposed mice are hyperactive, with enhanced agonist-induced aggregation, dense and α-granule secretion, αIIbβ3 integrin activation, phosphatidylserine expression, and platelet spreading, when compared with clean air–exposed platelets. Finally, at the molecular level, it was found that Akt (protein kinase B) and ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinases) phosphorylation are enhanced in the WPS and in nicotine-treated platelets. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that WPS exposure directly modulates hemostasis and increases the risk of thrombosis and that this is mediated, in part, via a state of platelet hyperactivity. The negative health impact of WPS/hookah, therefore, should not be underestimated. Moreover, this study should also help in raising public awareness of the toxic effects of waterpipe/hookah.

We investigated some reproductive actions of hookah smoke (HS) exposure (30 min/day, for 30 days) in male mice, and the possible mitigative effect of the prebiotic agent gum acacia (GA) thereon. Control mice were air-exposed (AE). Twenty-four hours after the last exposure, the levels of some plasma reproductive hormones, biochemical markers of inflammation, oxidative and nitrosative stress and testicular histopathology were assessed. The urinary level of cotinine, a major nicotine metabolite, was also measured. HS exposure induced significant decreases in testosterone, estradiol, luteinizing hormone, and androgen binding protein, as well as glutathione reductase activity and levels of nitrite and total nitrite. Plasma inhibin B, alkaline phosphatase, lipopolysaccharide binding protein, uric acid, lactate dehydrogenase, lipid peroxidation, 8-oxo-2’-deoxyguanosine, and cytochrome C were significantly increased following HS exposure. In testicular homogenate, nuclear factor-κB (NF-ĸB), nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (Nrf2), interleukin- 6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), transforming growth factor-β1(TGF- β1), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF- α) were all significantly elevated, and the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) significantly decreased. Histopathologically, there was slight impairment and disorganization of spermatogenesis. Urinary cotinine concentration was elevated significantly in the HS-exposed group compared with the air-exposed group. GA co-administration mitigated the adverse actions of HS measured. In conclusion, daily exposure to HS at the above dose induced adverse actions on the reproductive system of male mice. GA co-administration significantly mitigated these effects by reducing the inflammation, oxidative and nitrosative stress, via a mechanism involving Nrf2, and reduction of StAR expression.

The aim of the study was to assess the situation related to tobacco consumption among adolescents aged 13 – 15 in the Kyrgyz Republic.Materials and Methods. The study used a two-stage selection of schoolchildren in grades 7 – 9 (teenagers 13 – 15 years old) to conduct the survey. At the 1st stage, information was collected about all schools of the republic, where children of the target group study. the schools in which the survey was subsequently conducted were selected by the statistical sampling method according to the number of students in grades 7 – 9. The grades whose students participated in the questionnaire were set at stage 2 by random sampling in each school The survey includes 43 questions from the Standard main Questionnaire of the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) and 30 supplementary questions (73 in total) with multiple choice of answers. The statistical processing was performed using the SUDAAN software package (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention); a 95% confidence interval was calculated to calculate weighted prevalence estimates and standard errors (SE).Results. The survey found that 6.0% of schoolchildren (9.5% of boys and 2.4% of girls) currently use various types of tobacco; 4.4% of schoolchildren currently use tobacco (6.8% of boys and 2.0% of girls); 2.4% of schoolchildren smoke cigarettes; 2.4% use smokeless tobacco, 2.8% use other tobacco products (hookah); 2.8% of schoolchildren smoke electronic cigarettes (3.9% of boys and 1.7% of girls). Tobacco use most often begins before age 7 or after age 12. 16.8% of schoolchildren are exposed to tobacco smoke at home, of which 14.2% are in closed places and 14.8% in open public places. 87.2% of schoolchildren purchase cigarettes in a shop, kiosk, from a street vendor, and in the market. During the visit to the point of sale 26.7% noticed tobacco advertising and promotions; 49.7% saw anti-tobacco messages in the mass media. Definitely think that smoking tobacco by other people is bad for them, 71.2% of schoolchildren.Conclusion. A high percentage of teenagers consuming e-cigarettes, hookah, and smokeless tobacco products has been noted, although > 50% of them are aware of the dangers of tobacco use. Every 6th student is a passive smoker. The vast majority of schoolchildren aged 13 – 15 who try to quit smoking do not receive professional help in quitting tobacco use, and are exposed to protobacco media marketing campaigns.

Although the harmful effects of smoking after a cancer diagnosis have been clearly demonstrated, many patients continue to smoke cigarettes during treatment and beyond. The NCCN Guidelines for Smoking Cessation emphasize the importance of smoking cessation in all patients with cancer and seek to establish evidence-based recommendations tailored to the unique needs and concerns of patients with cancer. The recommendations contained herein describe interventions for cessation of all combustible tobacco products (eg, cigarettes, cigars, hookah), including smokeless tobacco products. However, recommendations are based on studies of cigarette smoking. The NCCN Smoking Cessation Panel recommends that treatment plans for all patients with cancer who smoke include the following 3 tenets that should be done concurrently: (1) evidence-based motivational strategies and behavior therapy (counseling), which can be brief; (2) evidence-based pharmacotherapy; and (3) close follow-up with retreatment as needed.

In this study, the effect of different concentrations of smoke solution derived from sage (Salvia officinalis L.) on root and shoot growth of grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) was investigated in pots, in petri dishes (in vivo) and in vitro conditions. Smoke solution was obtained from hookah method and different concentrations (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) were prepared by diluting the stock solution with distilled water and, distilled water was used as control. Solutions were used starting water of petri and perlite media and to prepare MS0 for in vitro condition. Nodal segments of grass pea seedlings as explants were cultured on MS0 medium in vitro. Plant nutrients, antioxidants, organic or inorganic chemicals, and plant growth regulators are commonly used for plant development both in vivo and in vitro. However, their use has risks in terms of economic costs as well as nature, environment and human health. Therefore, use of naturally derived chemicals in these applications has great advantages. Observations for in vivo conditions were determinate after 7 days from sowing and 15 days after in vitro culture. The longest root length (6.089 cm) was determined in 75% smoke solution of sage and, while the longest shoot length (3.026 cm) was obtained from 100% smoke solution of sage on petri media. In perlite media, the highest root and shoot length were observed in pure water (control). İn vitro conditions, although shoot formation was above 85% in all applications, root formation was under 33%. The shortest shoot length was obtained from smoke solutions of 100% (5.02 cm), the longest shoot length was obtained from 25% and 75% concentrations of smoke solution, respectively 8.35 and 8.94 cm.

IntroductionUse of alternative nicotine delivery systems, such as electronic cigarettes and hookahs, has increased dramatically in the USA, but limited research has been conducted on the secondhand effects of these products, especially in children. The objective of this study is to assess the cardiopulmonary effects of e-cigarette and hookah use in vaping and smoking adults, and in non-smoking/non-vaping adults and children exposed to secondhand particles and gases.Methods and analysisThis study uses a pre/post design, with four groups: two control groups (non-smoking/non-vaping and cigarette smoking) and two test groups (hookah smoking and e-cigarette vaping). Participants will be recruited by household, so that each home includes one smoking or vaping adult and one non-smoking/non-vaping adult and/or child (5–18 years). Non-smoking/non-vaping homes include an adult and child who do not smoke or vape and do not live with individuals who do. Air quality measures will be completed during a household smoking or vaping session (ambient air for non-smoking/non-vaping group), while cardiopulmonary measures and biological samples will be taken directly before and after the smoking/vaping session, and again 24 hours later, for all participants. Air quality measures include carbon monoxide, black carbon, particulate matter, trace elements, nicotine and carbonyls; cardiopulmonary measures include heart rate variability, blood pressure, pulmonary function and exhaled carbon monoxide; biological samples will assess cotinine, inflammatory cytokines and biomarkers in urine, saliva and nasal mucosa.Ethics and disseminationThis study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at New York University School of Medicine (s16-02226 and s17-01143). Special attention was given to the inclusion of children, who are likely significantly impacted by the use of these products at home, and thus should be included in research. Results of the study will be distributed at conferences, in peer-reviewed journals and to relevant public health authorities for use in developing policy.

Smoking is defined as burning dry tobacco leaves and inhaling smoke from the burn. This process may be done using different forms of tobbaco products, including cigarettes (Cigars, Little Cigars, Cigarillos), electronic cigarettes, and hookah (shisha). Smoking can give rise to lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and has been proven to be the underlying cause in 84% of deaths in lung cancer and 83% mortalities in COPD. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of tobacco smoking among male students of the Majmaah University, Saudi Arabia. This cross-sectional study was performed from January to February 2020 on among medical students of Majmaah University, Saudi Arabia. A pretested questionnaire was used to collect data while the SPSS was used for data analysis. From 256 male medical students, only 113 responded to the questionnaire. The prevalence of smoking was found to be 19.5% (n=22) with most smoked cigarettes (50%). Most smokers (50 %) were in the lowest age group, 19-21 years. There was an increase in smoking with an increase in income. Of the 22 respondents who smoked, 10 started smoking when they were 14 to 17 years old. In conclusion, the study shows a low prevalence of smoking among male medical students in the College of Medicine of Majmaah University. Most smokers consume cigarettes, and the majority are not considering quitting

Aim: The purpose of this study is to examine the current social climate around tobacco at a Jesuit University and begin implementation procedures to transition the campus to a 100% tobacco free environment in a manner consistent with Jesuit and personal values.Background: Smoke-free campus policies are shown to be successful in reducing the amount of smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke. A comprehensive policy which includes traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes, smokeless products, and hookah is recommended to eliminate the cultural acceptance of all tobacco products.Methods: A web-based survey was conducted following feedback from student led focus groups.Results: The majority of students (71%) agreed or strongly agreed with a transition to a tobacco-free policy with only 18% of the participants reporting negative feelings towards the policy change. Slightly more than half of the sample (53%) reported having a knowledge deficit related to available smoking cessation resources.Conclusions: There is an important balance between individual freedoms and upholding core Jesuit values in caring for the whole person. When implementing a new tobacco-policy, the current social climate, educational and cessation resources, and policy enforcement should be considered.

BackgroundResearch on cigarettes and adult asthma offers mixed findings, perhaps due to overlap with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and inadequate adjustment for other smoke exposures. Associations between other tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, and asthma are also understudied.Research questionUsing Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Study waves 2–4 (2014/2015–2016/2017) data, we assessed the relation between tobacco product use and asthma in persons unlikely to have COPD.Study design and methodsProspective study of 10 267 adults aged 18–39 years without COPD diagnoses. Past-month tobacco use at wave 2 was modelled first as combustible versus non-combustible use and second as specific product categories (former, cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, hookah, smokeless tobacco). Outcomes included lifetime asthma prevalence at wave 2, incidence (waves 3 and 4) and Asthma Control Test score (lower=worse). Multivariable regressions adjusted for predictors of asthma, including other smoke exposures: cigarette pack-years, secondhand smoke and marijuana use. Sensitivity analyses examined findings when persons >39 years and those with both COPD and asthma were added, and when smoke exposure adjustments were removed.ResultsNo product, including cigarettes and e-cigarettes, was associated with prevalence or incidence of asthma. Among people with asthma at wave 2, combustible tobacco (beta=−0.86, 95% CI (−1.32 to –0.39)) and cigarettes (beta=−1.14, 95% CI (−1.66 to –0.62)) were associated with worse asthma control. No tobacco product was associated with asthma control over time. In sensitivity analyses, tobacco use became associated with incident asthma as adults >39 years and those with asthma+COPD were added, and as adjustments for other smoke exposures were omitted.InterpretationAlthough cigarette use was associated with worse asthma control, there were no longitudinal associations between combustible tobacco or e-cigarette use and new onset or worsening asthma in these preliminary analyses. Research on tobacco and asthma should exclude COPD and adjust for smoking history and other smoke exposures.

The study of the influence of inhalation psychoactive substances (PAS) on the respiratory system is an important issue, given the speed and trend of the spread of various inhalation devices. Hookah is a device for smoking tobacco, the essence of which is the passage of tobacco smoke through a container with water or other liquids (milk, alcohol). The study was conducted among students of the Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov (SAFU), and the population permanently residing in the city of Arkhangelsk. The study was conducted from 2020 to 2022. The aim of this article is to compare the indicators of external respiration in individuals using PAS in different ways. Material and methods. External respiration was assessed by spirometry. Spirometry is a fairly simple, non-invasive and informative method for measuring airflows and volumes. The article presents an analysis of spirometry data from 155 people. Group I included individuals not using tobacco products, Group II included cigarette smokers only, and Group III included individuals using tobacco with a hookah. Results. Volume indicators (FVC, FEV1) in Group I were significantly higher than in representatives of Groups II and III (p > 0.01); Also, in Group I, speed indicators were significantly higher. A significant decrease in the FEV indicator was found in Group III compared to Group II (p > 0.01). Also, members of Groups II and III had a significant decrease in speed indicators compared to Group I.

Full textAbstract:
As Lebanon’s economic crisis become uncontrollable, Lebanese pregnant women face malnutrition, with many having to skip meals and switch to resort to cheap and unhealthy alternatives altogether. The objectives of the study were to assess the dietary and lifestyle patterns of Lebanese pregnant women and to evaluate their diets compliance with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) pregnancy recommendations, before and during the Lebanese escalating economic crisis. A cross-sectional study was conducted between April 2021 and January 2022. A validated self-administrated questionnaire was administered during the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy among 363 women in all Lebanese governorates. Most of the pregnant women were free of diseases. While the majority did not smoke, 14.1% smoked hookah / shisha during pregnancy. The adherence to the USDA recommendations in our sample did not significantly vary prior to and throughout the socioeconomic crisis, and it was generally low. Only the mean consumption of vegetables increased during the socioeconomic crisis (p<0.05). Regarding physical activity, while the proportion of active women slightly decreased during the socioeconomic crisis, around 55% were still active. In conclusion, higher attention should be given to the dietary habits and health of this critical population, through effective interventions that increase awareness and achieve measurable improvements.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Narghile (water pipe, hookah, shisha, goza, hubble bubble, argeela) is a traditional method of tobacco use. In recent years, its use has increased worldwide, especially among young people. Narghile smoking, compared to cigarette smoking, can result in more smoke exposure and greater levels of carbon monoxide (CO). We present an acutely confused adolescent patient who had CO poisoning after narghile tobacco smoking. She presented with syncope and a carboxyhemoglobin level of 24% and was treated with hyperbaric oxygen. Five additional cases of CO poisoning after narghile smoking were identified during a literature search, with carboxyhemoglobin levels of 20 to 30%. Each patient was treated with oxygen supplementation and did well clinically. In light of the increasing popularity of narghile smoking, young patients presenting with unexplained confusion or nonspecific neurologic symptoms should be asked specifically about this exposure, followed by carboxyhemoglobin measurement.
