Waterpipe Smoking May be More Harmful than Cigarettes

Friday, December 04, 2009

A new study led by a Virginia Commonwealth University researcher shows that tobacco smoked through a waterpipe is just as harmful as smoking cigarettes. This proves that the idea that waterpipes are safer to smoke from is wrong.

The findings are important, because many believe that they are safer by using a waterpipe. In fact, the study showed that waterpipe smoking leads to inhaling more smoke and carbon monoxide.

This study should make it clear to anyone who smokes using a waterpipe that it is no safer than cigarettes, and may in fact be even more dangerous.
