To examine the prevalence and potential health risks of waterpipe tobacco smoking.
A literature review was performed to compile information relating to waterpipe tobacco smoking.
Waterpipe tobacco smoking is increasing in prevalence worldwide; in the United States, 10-20% of some young adult populations are current waterpipe users. Depending on the toxicant measured, a single waterpipe session produces the equivalent of at least 1 and as many as 50 cigarettes. Misconceptions about waterpipe smoke content may lead users to underestimate health risks.
Inclusion of waterpipe tobacco smoking in tobacco control activities may help reduce its spread.
研究水烟吸食的流行情况及其潜在健康风险。
进行文献综述以收集与水烟吸食相关的信息。
水烟吸食在全球范围内的流行率正在上升;在美国,一些年轻成年人群中有10%至20%是当前的水烟使用者。根据所测量的有毒物质不同,一次水烟吸食产生的有害物质相当于至少1支香烟,多达50支香烟。对水烟烟雾成分的误解可能会导致使用者低估健康风险。
将水烟吸食纳入烟草控制活动可能有助于减少其传播。
