A serving of hookah is equal to a hundred smoked cigarettes: British scientists report this. Moreover, hookah smoking is much more harmful, since this process takes many times longer than smoking cigarettes, it is much more intense and poses a high risk of developing various diseases.

Cardiologists around the world are sounding the alarm, because, despite the fact that hookah contains less harmful beryllium, chromium and cobalt, its smoke contains a lot of heavy metals. They provoke an increase in the level of carbon monoxide in the blood, which leads to damage to brain cells and loss of consciousness.

Smoking hookah along with cigarettes causes heart and respiratory diseases, lung cancer, problems during pregnancy, decreased brain activity, and Alzheimer's disease.
