Smoking tobacco through a water pipe, also referred to as Shisha, is prevalent in Middle Eastern countries but has gained popularity worldwide, especially among youth. The increasing global trend of shisha use is mainly led by misleading information about it being safe. The shisha smoke has potentially harmful chemicals, including several human carcinogens and other toxic products. There are recognised adverse effects on passive smokers exposed to second-hand smoke. It is a potential risk factor for several cancers and risks pregnant women and the foetus. A session of shisha smoking for 40 minutes is equivalent to smoking 100 or more cigarettes. There should be awareness about Shisha's harmful effects to reduce the risk to health through a coordinated global effort.
通过水烟管吸食烟草，也被称为水烟，在中东国家很普遍，但在全球范围内越来越受欢迎，尤其是在年轻人中。全球水烟使用增加的趋势主要是由关于其安全的误导性信息导致的。水烟烟雾含有潜在有害化学物质，包括几种人类致癌物和其他有毒产物。对接触二手烟的被动吸烟者有公认的不良影响。它是几种癌症的潜在风险因素，对孕妇和胎儿也有风险。吸食40分钟水烟相当于吸食100支或更多香烟。应该提高对水烟有害影响的认识，通过全球协调努力降低健康风险。
