Hookah manufacturers, advertising its use, offer a hookah equipped with a mouthpiece with an activated carbon filter or filled with cotton, or offer chemicals added to the water of the hookah and special plastic carbon filters for the formation of smaller bubbles as an additional protective agent. They do not give absolutely no guarantee of safety, and not one type of hookah is not safe for health. There is no clear evidence that a special hookah device reduces the content of dangerous substances in the inhaled smoke. It turned out that connoisseurs of the exotic device are subject to the same diseases as ordinary smokers: cardiovascular, respiratory and cancer diseases. In addition, hookah transmitted in a circle significantly increases the risk of hepatitis, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases.
