A common belief among users is that the smoke is significantly less dangerous than that from cigarettes.[24] The water moisture induced by the hookah makes the smoke less irritating and may give a false sense of security and reduce concerns about true health effects.[25] Doctors at institutions including the Mayo Clinic have stated that use of hookah is equally detrimental to a person's health as smoking cigarettes,[26][27] and a study by the World Health Organization also confirmed these findings.[28]
Each hookah session typically lasts more than 40 minutes, and consists of 50 to 200 inhalations that each range from 0.15 to 0.50 liters of smoke.[29][30] Reports by the World Health Organization and the American Cancer Society have shown that, in a one-hour hookah session, users consume about 100 to 200 times the smoke and about 70% more nicotine than they would in one cigarette.[31]
A 2005 study found that water pipe smokers were five times more likely than non-smokers to show signs of gum disease. People who smoked water pipes had five times the risk of lung cancer as non-smokers.[32]
The water used to filter the smoke does not work efficiently to remove all the harmful chemicals.[33]
A study on hookah smoking and cancer in Pakistan was published in 2008.[34] Its objective was "to find serum CEA levels in ever/exclusive hookah smokers, i.e. those who smoked only hookah (no cigarettes, bidis, etc.), prepared between 1 and 4 times a day with a quantity of up to 120 g (the average bowl in holds 30g) of a tobacco-molasses mixture each (i.e. the tobacco weight equivalent of up to 60 cigarettes of 1 g each) and consumed in 1 to 8 sessions". Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a marker found in several forms of cancer. Levels in exclusive hookah smokers were lower compared to cigarette smokers although the difference was not statistically significant between a hookah smoker and a non-smoker. Also the study concluded that heavy hookah smoking (2–4 daily preparations; 3–8 sessions a day ; 2 to 6 hours) substantially raises CEA levels.

There it is... Plus all the garbage in the filers has got to play havoc on the lungs.. Don't know if it's true or not but I read eons ago that a typical analog filter has fiberglass in it too..

I had fully quit smoking analogs for over 6 months last year when I began vaping, but I now use analogs here and there.. As far as my hookah smoking, I only partially fill the bowl and that lasts me 2 days.. I hookah-fy afew times a week so essentially I am still better than I was from 1977 to 2009 smoking a pack and 1/2 a day of Menthol Light 100's anyway

30 grams of tobacco in a bowl! Man, they do it up right over there....my bowl holds 10 grams fully packed. I know that the water really does nothing for filtration, basically just cools the smoke. I do know that compared to smoking cigs, I can breathe so much better (Dr says she can tell I quit smoking), sense of smell is better than Id like, and I no longer have to eat super spicy foods to get flavor out of my meal. This is with 3 or 4 sessions a week though. I imagine if I was smoking hookah every day or several times a day, my chest would start hurting again. While I respect the findings of that test, Im sticking to my feeling that its significantly better than smoking cigarettes. When im done, the tobacco isnt burnt, its just dried out and none of my cig smoking symptoms have come back.

F science! At least I enjoy smoking this way, versus cigs which I never enjoyed, yet felt the need to chain smoke for every waking moment. Hell, Id smoke a cigarette in preparation for smoking a cigarette, all the while being completely disgusted by them and myself. Ive also yet to get a craving that I have to hit the hookah RIGHT NOW or the universe would collapse on itself.
