assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu,

Cairo's popular waterpipes (Shisha) no safer than cigarettes

Thu Mar 15, 9:56 AM ET

A single session smoking Egypt's popular shisha waterpipes yields a nicotine intake equivalent to more than one pack of cigarettes, the World Health Organization said on Wednesday.

Many Egyptians smoke shisha in the belief that forcing the smoke through the pipes' water container filters out some of the toxins in the nicotine. Not so, according to Hussein Gezairy, Regional Director for the World Health Organization.
