The story has been told many times: waterpipe, a centuries-old tobacco use method in which smoke is passed through water before being inhaled, probably originated on the Indian subcontinent and southeast Asia. Over the years, it spread and became popular in the Middle East. During most of the 20th century, it seemed that waterpipe’s heyday had passed, in favour of easy-to-use types of tobacco s...
The lack of scientific evidence on the constituents, properties, and health effects of second-hand waterpipe smoke has fueled controversy over whether public smoking bans should include the waterpipe. The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare emissions of ultrafine particles (UFP, <100 nm), carcinogenic polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), volatile aldehydes, and carbon monoxide (CO)...
Waterpipe smoking, a tobacco consumption method traditionally associated with the Middle East and South Asia, has increased in prevalence in the last decade in Europe and the US, especially among young people (Amin et al., 2010; Al-Naggar; Saghir, 2011; Martinasek et al., 2011). The waterpipe apparatus consists of a head, body, bowl and hose. The head is loaded with a 10-20 gram of fruit-flavou...
Background: Waterpipe smoking is a growing public health threat worldwide. The aim of this study was to assess waterpipe smoking prevalence and its associated factors among Iranian adults.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Kerman, Iran, recruiting 1090 adult participants using multistage sampling in 2016. A self-reported researcher-designed questionnaire was used. The socio-de...
Waterpipe (also called hookah, shisha, or narghile) smoking is a common form of tobacco use in the Middle East. Its use is becoming more prevalent in Western societies, especially among young adults as an alternative form of tobacco use to traditional cigarettes. While the risk to cigarette smoking is well documented, the risk to waterpipe smoking is not well defined with limited information on...
Structural characterization of rat ventricular tissue exposed to the smoke of two types of waterpipe
OBJECTIVES this study focused on the effect of waterpipe smoke exposure toxicity on the structure of albino rat's ventricular tissue and their recovery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Albino rats were divided into three groups: control, flavored, and unflavored. The control group was exposed to normal air while the flavored and unflavored groups were exposed to waterpipe smoke for a period of 90 days....
OBJECTIVE To assess the acute effects of smoking in Waterpipe (WP) smokers in Ajman, United Arab Emirates (UAE). CONTEXT 202 male volunteers aged > 17 years were included. Blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate values of each participant, before and after a 30 minute smoking session, were measured and compared. Standardized questionnaires were also answered. RESULTS Mean increases ...
conclusions our findings clearly indicate a synergistic effect of waterpipe smoke, immobilization and darkness stress on serum ck levels, whereas serum alp levels of experimental groups have shown no significant synergism for the mentioned factors. results the results indicated enhanced serum ck and alp levels in all groups compared with control (p < 0.05). also, there was a significant differe...
objective: oral mucosal epithelia of smokers and waterpipe users are more susceptible to malignant alterations. the aim of this study was morphometric evaluation of the effects of using waterpipe on normal oral mucosa. materials and methods: in a cross sectional study, cytologic smear samples from the following three different areas: buccal mucosa, lateral surface of the tongue, and floor of th...
This study highlights the level of microbial contamination of waterpipe components in selected area of Saudi Arabia and the resistance of selected bacteria to different antibiotics was determined. A series of biochemical tests, microscopic examination, and screening on Vitek 2 compact (bioMérieux Inc., USA) system were done to characterize the bacterial isolates. Out of 132 samples investigated...
