It so happened that in our country all imports are welcomed, starting with clothes and shoes, ending with drugs and hookahs. Why hookah is on the same line with drugs? After all, it is practically harmless. So, at least, consider a lot of fans of this eastern apparatus. However, the damage to the hookah for many years is a controversial topic. Hookah - the eastern tube of smoke, with the help of which since ancient times, the inhabitants of Egypt relaxed. In recent years smoking hookah has become fashionable in America and throughout Europe. There are special bars that offer to their visitors, relax and smoke an oriental hookah. Almost all nightlife establishments offer a hookah in their menu. Among the youth, the hookah is popularized as a safe way to relax for relatively little money. Is it really? Is a hookah a safe oriental gift that does not harm the human body? And here it is necessary to object to this opinion. People who are addicted to smoking a hookah can persuade themselves of its safety for health. In fact, this is far from the case. We will back up the "flattering" words about the hookah with facts that are increasingly proving the huge harm of hookah on the human body.
You should be aware that any smoke that has occurred under the influence of slow decay, contains in its composition negative substances affecting the human body. Nicotine, carbon monoxide, resins, formaldehydes cause irreparable damage to our health. Tobacco of any kind and its smoke( including tobacco used for smoking hookah) causes negative mutations at the genetic level in the body. Of course, genetics is not fully understood, but it is possible to transmit the disease to its offspring. Smoking hookah, you do harm not only to yourself, but to your future grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Many believe that hookah is a harmless alternative to smoking conventional cigarettes. This is a profound error. The fact is that the harm of hookah is actually much more than the negative impact of cigarettes. Recently, studies have been conducted, which have shown that smokers smell inhale the amount of tobacco smoke equal to 100-200 smoked cigarettes. Many believe that from such a fate saves water through which smoke passes. It's a delusion. The temperature of the smoke in the hookah is about 400 degrees. Even after passing through the water, the combustion products will not cool down to a safe temperature for the human body. Plus, many components of tobacco smoke by nature can not dissolve in water. Thus, they all go straight to the lungs of a person who smokes a hookah. Cigarette, in contrast to the hookah, can be thrown away if you need to escape somewhere, but the procedure for smoking an oriental gift takes a long time. Any kind of nicotine causes a person chemical dependence. In order to be saturated with nicotine, the hookah smoker needs to spend 20 to 80 minutes of his time in the apparatus. Imagine how much resin and carbon monoxide the body will get. Statistics - it's accurate. So, when smoking one cigarette, the smoker makes an average of 10-13 puffs and inhales a smoke volume equal to 0.5 liters. For a session of smoking hookah, a person carries out up to two hundred puffs, with each breath containing a volume of smoke up to one liter. It follows that if you smoke a hookah, you are damaging an equivalent hundred smoked cigarettes. And how then to deny the harm of the hookah? For the most ardent hookah fans there are two iron facts: larynx cancer and lung cancer. Most smoking mixtures for hookahs are made by handicraft method. At the same time, no one tests them for the maintenance of substances hazardous to human life. The main cause of cancer of the larynx and trachea from smoking hookah is a large amount of smoke, which the smoker instantly draws into itself. At the same time, the nearby organs of the respiratory system are affected. Here you have a completely harmless hookah. Even in the homeland of this apparatus, doctors state the fact that hookah is the main cause, because of which tuberculosis spreads.
As you can see, the harm of smoking a hookah is obvious. Only a person who is blindly pursuing fashionable tendencies can continue to smoke a hookah and not think about the consequences. Everyone has his own opinion, but we must remember that the harm of the hookah has been proven and carries with it sad consequences for the health of the body.
