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

Remy Ma Wins 'Woman Of The Year' Award

Remy Ma is having a good year. Her diss tracks targeting  Nicki Minaj have been well-received (for the most part, anyway), and she's getting a lot more recognition for her rap skills than she was prior to her stint in jail. To add another good thing to a list of good things, the experienced battle rapper was recently named Woman of the Year at the 2nd Annual Glitz and Girl Power Awards, Hip Hop Wired reports. Remy accepted her award in person at a ceremony in Miami, Florida on Sunday, and delivered an empowering speech during her time on stage. (She looked absolutely stunning too. That dress!) "Every possible thing that you think can go wrong in your life, it happened to me, and I'm still here," Remy said. "All of you have that same opportunity." Congrats, Remy! Way to keep it positive.
