Shisha or tobacco flavored fruit through a long pipe has become a tradition in the Middle East centuries ago are now returning trend among young people. But many people do not realize that smoke shisha turned out just as bad as smoking cigarettes. The conclusion was generated from research conducted Mohammad Hossein Boskabady University of Medical Sciences in Iran. He monitors the lung function of 57 people who smoke shisha, 30 smokers who smoked strong, and 51 smokers who smoked cigarettes normally. For comparison, also studied 44 nonsmokers.

Researchers used a device called a spirometer to measure how deep a person smoking cigarettes and holding a puff of cigarette smoke. Approximately 23 percent of users experience coughing wheezing shisha pipe, while in smokers who smoked strong number of events 30 percent, and 21.6 percent in smokers who inhale normally. While the incidence rate in non-smokers coughing wheezing only 9.1 percent. Meanwhile, 21 percent incidence of cough experienced shisha, 36.7 percent in smokers inside, and 19.6 percent in the normal smoker. While in non-smokers, only 6.8 percent were suffering from cough.
 
Measurements of lung function were performed every three months for two years. The measurement results also found in the sputum production shisha around 14 percent, 10 percent in smokers, 3.9 percent in the normal smoker. But in the group of non-smokers the number of events of 6.8 percent. The results were published in the journal Respirology broke claim called shisha is safer than smoking because tobacco toxins are filtered out. "Our results show strong evidence that smoked shisha bad for the lungs as well as in people who smoke cigarettes are in," said Boskabady.

Cigarette smoking is the effect normally lighter than sucking through a long tube like shisha but still contribute to pulmonary disorders. According to 2005 research by the WHO found that shisha has a higher concentration of the toxin components, such as carbon monoxide, metals and cancer-causing substances. Shisha is also addictive as nicotine.
  Tobacco smokers typically inhale about 8-12 times in seven minutes, so if it sucks totalized 0.5 to 0.6 liters of smoke. Meanwhile, in a single shisha session (about 20-80 minutes) a person can inhale 50-20 times or about 0.15 to 1 liter of smoke. "In one session of shisha for an hour to say the equivalent of 100 cigarettes smoked," the researchers wrote WHO.
