shisha
Shisha is a hookah that contains waterpipes that are made to smoke specially made tobacco mixtures that comes in varieties of different flavours. These hookah have chambers where hot chacoal is passed with other tobacco and flavour components. These normally form smokes that passes through a water chamber for cooling then the smoker smokes it through the pipe with the mouth and most at times expelled the smokes through their mouth and nostrils.
Most youths always percieved that this smoke is mild due to its falvour and has no harm or detrimental to health. Thus they go about inhaling large quantity of nicotine.
How shisha differs from cigerette
- Technology made this different as there is no major different in composition instead research shows that shisha contains more Nicotin and heavy metals than cigarette itself.
- Tecnology modifies cigarette in a way that smokers can share a common stick at once.
- Technology created water chamber where the smoke is passed to reduced the heat as a normal lighted cigarettes burns at 100 degree celcius. But i wonder how many degree of heat is lost our durin the process of passing through the water chambers. How much quantity of heat is produced from the coal chambers.
- Shisha has varieties of flavour while cigarete dont have

Shisha or hookah contains about 82 toxic chemicals that and calcinogens. Although these smokes passed through the water chambers , these addictive or harmful chemicals arent absorbed. The combusition using charcoal may produce carbonmonoxides that irreversibly combimes with haemoglobin and this is very dangerous to your health.source

- Just like cigarete, the smoke is inhaled into the respiratory system and this has adverse effect on this system and can cause so many disease such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, oesphagus or epigastric cancer.
- It may also predispose smokers to hypertension, tuberclosis and carbon monoxide intoxication
Thanks to the goverment of Cameroon for banning this harmful device in our country but the main difficulty still faced is to change the ideas of youths to see the negative effects of this harmful device as many youths still uses this device illigally. Stop shisha
