Looked it up on Wiki some time ago :
Health risks
The health risks associated with hookah usage are still relatively unstudied when compared to those of cigarettes or other means of tobacco consumption.[citation needed] A common belief among younger users is that the smoke is significantly less dangerous than that from cigarettes.[citation needed] The water moisture induced by the hookah makes the smoke less irritating and may give a false sense of security and reduce concerns about true health effects.[19] Doctors at institutions including the Mayo Clinic have stated that use of hookah can be as detrimental to a person's health as smoking cigarettes,[20][21] and a controversial (see below) study by the World Health Organization also confirmed these findings.[22]
Each hookah session typically lasts more than 40 minutes, and consists of 50 to 200 inhalations that each range from 0.15 to 0.50 liters of smoke.[23][24]
A study in the Journal of Periodontology found that water pipes smokers were five times more likely than non-smokers to show signs of gum disease. People who smoked water pipes had five times the risk of lung cancer as non-smokers.[25] The study in the Journal of Periodontology was based on pipes of any variety and not specifically on water pipes.[26]
Furthermore, the water used to filter the chemicals does not work efficiently to remove all the harmful chemicals. One single session (45-minutes) of Hookah smoking will result in the smoker breathing in 100 times more smoke than regular smoking.[27]
According to additional reports by the World Health Organization and the American Cancer Society shown that, in a one-hour hookah session, users consume about 100 to 200 times the smoke and about 70 times the nicotine as they do in one cigarette.[28]
Most of the above mentioned studies have been criticised in depth for their numerous errors and flaws by the author of the Critique of the WHO report on hookah smoking. This critique was published in the Journal of Negative Results in Biomedicine, a peer-reviewed scientific journal of the BioMed Central Group.
In the first aetiologic study on hookah smoking and cancer, Pakistani doctors have found much lower levels of CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen)(a cancer marker) in hookah smokers vs. cigarette smokers. It is noteworthy that the patients in this pioneering study have been smoking, for decades, huge amounts of tobacco (the tobacco-weight equivalent of 60 cigarettes in each bowl) in their hookahs. Interestingly, this study also reviews and discusses extensively heatlh considerations. [29]. This study was published in the Harm Reduction Journal, a peer-reviewed scientific journal of the BioMed Central Group.
