Even though it is very cool to have teh tarik at mamaks with our buddies, the level of cool will falls badly when we also conclude shisha on our table!
I found out from many of my smoker friends that they felt shisha was a way to wean of smoking, but it grew addictive too because they felt it was less harmful than cigarettes. (There were other factors like how they wanted to try all flavors from vanilla to strawberry and etc!) However guys, shisha is in no way, beneficial or less harmful to one's health compared to cigarettes.
Here are few of the reasons:
- Study made from WHO says that smoking shisha could be as much as 200 times more harmful than cigarettes. (This doesn’t mean that u better smoke cigarette!)
- The water is said to act as a filter and thus the smoke we inhale is supposedly "clean". Well, that's not true. In fact water moisture just makes the smoke less irritating and gives us the impression that the smoke is cleaner and makes it less irritating. Plus the shisha pipe that u share to smoke with ur
- There is less tobacco in shisha than in cigarettes. Well, it may be true, but a typical shisha session lasts from 40 mins to 60 mins each time and most of the time, people do get a fresh batch after. WHO advisory have shown that one is exposed to as much as 200 times more smoke from a Shisha session than a single stick of cigarette.
- You are still basically smoking the same things as a cigarette. Carbon Monoxide? Check. Carcinogens? Check. Wasting money? CHECK!
- It is totally not cool coz some dudes did it just because they thought it was cool. How come u call it cool when u ironically (I still confuse how to use ironic word), clearly destroy ur
- Its clearly haram when u did/do something that will harm ur
Some may say that those articles about the bad of shisha than cigarette in the weekend newspaper cannot be trusted because they tend to twist their statement weekly. One week, its about coffee and how toxic it is and what not and telling us that tea is a much better option, then next week they completely reversing this opinion and telling tea affects health more potently than coffee.
Well me myself agreed with that, but for this shisha cigarette issue, it does not require a rocket scientist to tell us inhaling any kind of smoke containing various toxic substances is not good for health. It’s a common sense. Just the same reason as why we want to curb the air pollution so that we will breaths the fresh air and not the toxic air to keep our lungs healthy.
We don't want our lungs to be like the picture above right? So instead of u wasting ur money smoking shisha or cigarette and damage ur lungs
i just had some puff of shisha last friday, when i was outstation at Kelantan. my frenz there bought vanilla flavour. but, as a smoker i can't stand it. a lot of smoke, more than cigarette. and as a smoker, i agree with u.
