It's something that annoys me to great extent because this have never been backed by real research and it does seem like the Big Tobacco Lobby spreading the news of such reports.
I have been smoking shisha regularly for a while and I do understand that it is not completely harmless, but I really don't feel like it is anywhere as bad as smokes. I know people who have smoked shisha and cigarettes exclusively and swear that cigarettes are way worse due to like the 500 chemicals they contain.
What's your take on the matter?
