why u need to stop using hookah












A
Causes cancer
Due to the mode of Shisha smoking—including frequency of puffing, depth of inhalation, and length of the smoking session—Shisha smokers may absorb higher concentrations of the toxins found in cigarette smoke, thus increasing the hazard to the body.
The charcoal used to heat tobacco in the Shisha pipes increases the health risks. Even after it has passed through water, the smoke produced by a Shisha contains high levels of toxic compounds, including carbon monoxide, heavy metals, and cancer-causing chemicals. Shisha tobacco and smoke contain numerous toxic substances known to cause lung, bladder, and oral cancers. A typical one-hour session of hookah smoking exposes the user to 100 to 200 times the volume of smoke inhaled from a single cigarette.
Irritation from exposure to tobacco juices increases the risk of developing oral cancers. The irritation by tobacco juice products is likely to be greater among Shisha smokersthan among pipe or cigar smokers because Shisha smoking is typically practiced (with or without inhalation) more often and for longer periods of time.
B
Causes heart problem
Shisha tobacco and smoke contain numerous toxic substances known to cause clogged arteries and heart disease.
C
Periodontal (gum tissue) disease
There is an increased level of nicotine and cotinine (a by product of nicotine) in the blood plasma, saliva and urine of Shisha smokers that affects the periodontal tissues.
D
Prone to infections
Hookah pipes used in hookah bars and cafes may not be cleaned properly, risking the spread of infectious diseases. Infectious diseases including tuberculosis (which can infect the lungs or other parts of the body), aspergillus (a fungus that can cause serious lung infections), and helicobacter (which can cause stomach ulcers) may be spread by sharing the pipe or through the way the tobacco is prepared.

E
Low birth weight babies with pregnant women smoking Shisha
Shisha smoking among pregnant mothers is risky to the baby as well, since the child may face underweight problems and difficulty in breathing. Babies born to women who smoked one or more water pipes a day during pregnancy have lower birth weights (were at least 3½ ounces less) than babies born to non-smokers and are at an increased risk for respiratory diseases.
F
Danger of second hand smoke
Using Shisha smoke poses a serious potential health hazard to smokers and others exposed to the smoke emitted. The second hand smoke from Shisha poses a serious risk for non-smokers, particularly because it contains smoke not only from the tobacco but also from the heat source (e.g., charcoal) used in the hookah.
G
Nicotine addiction
Hookah and Shisha smoking deliver almost the same amount of nicotine as cigarettes do, leading to nicotine addiction

3 Reasons why must african are poor

1. NO INNOVATION. ONE of the strongest reasons America has continued to be an envy, admiration of the whole earth is because of her citizens who are being driven by extra-ordinary passion. In this age and dispensation, the economy alone does not guarantee a nation the tag ''superpower''; rather strongest commerce plus military, global cultural influence, technology, sophisticated science, and lastly INNOVATION. I have never think of any great African in history as been really innovative; they might be freedom fighters, liberators but never pace setters. Talk about inventions there is scarcely any genius of an instrument that this continent has ever contributed to the world, and please do not mention Egypt here, because ancient Egypt was more of a middle East Empire, not African. Look at every aspect of our existence starting from our entertainers, scientists, technocrats, politicians, historians, engineers, politicians, etc you will find no trace of INNOVATION. IT I...
