How many cigarettes are equivalent to a bowl of hookah?And which is worse for you?
Once a week me and a ton of friends go to a hookah bar (yes we’re legal) and smoke for a few hours.We were just wondering if smoking hookah is worse than smoking cigarettes,and which one is more likely to give you cancer.

For some doctors often recommend smoking cigarette day for some people prefer to cool so youre going to smoke has time however with cigarettes do this is when you burn them you burn.

theres not a lot of scientific evidence here.. i did a report on this in college.. what i found was,…well, complicated
-hookah is cooler, cleaner smoke, but no “real” filter
-cigarettes have more harmful chemicals, but they have filters.
-hookah has less nicotine and chemicals, but have honey and other products that can be unhealthy and leave junk in your lungs (dont use anything other than water in the base of your hookah, youll just put more unhealthy fumes into your lungs)
-cigarettes are more addictive..
-hookah is a slow, less convient smoke, so people don’t get hooked easily.
it depends on you, if u just smoke a bowl once a week, it wont even compare to cigarettes. But like anything, too much will result in a unhealthy situation

Cigarettes are worse.
Cigarettes is no tar in shisha with shisha with shisha would say that cigarettes are worse.

I’ve read that a hookah session is roughly the equivalent of 40 cigarettes or so. Additionally, since it’s tobacco in both cases, there are significant health risks with both types of smoking, as both contain tar, nicotine, and various carcinogenic chemicals.
