Hookah Or Cigars: Which Is More Harmful To Health?

According to doctors and experts, smoking is more detrimental than cigarette smoking.

Many people believe that hookah is safer than cigarette smoking because the tobacco smoke is filtered through water making it cleaner but that is not the case. Hookah too contains the same toxins as cigars.

Studies have proven that smoking hookah is more dangerous. It is so because the smoke that flows out from the bowel contains several toxic substances that cause lung cancer, heart and other health related diseases. Also, the hookah smoker is exposed to smoke for a longer duration than a cigar smoker making it highly dangerous.

Cigar smokers are involved in quite small smoking sessions which last for five to seven minutes and they tend to take eight to twelve puffs.

Hookah sessions are of much longer duration than that of cigar smokers. Their smoking session lasts up to 30 to 80 minutes and they smoke almost a litre of smoke which is equal to 100 cigars.

People who smoke hookahs or cigars are more prone to various risks such as lung cancer, oral cancer, bladder cancer, esophageal cancer, stomach cancer, decreased fertility, low birth weight babies, peripheral vascular disease, babies with respiratory illness and many other illnesses.

If you feel yourself slipping into the addiction of smoking, immediately contact your doctor or a health care professional to cease smoking.

Remember smoking kills, its better to quit than regret later.
