Are Shisha's / Hookah's really bad?

Just curious... after having read a few articles online, it seems that smoking a Shisha / Hookah is even worse then smoking a cigarette.
One session of Shisha equals to 50 cigarettes!?

Is it really true and really that bad?

For the ones who don't know, this is a Shisha

It depends, in that a cig lasts 5 minutes tops, the hookah smoking session in Capadocia with apple and peach flavor tobacco lasted over 4 hours of passing it back and forth.

HOWEVER the hookah contained home grown tobbaco instead of all the shit they stick in class A cigarettes to make them hyper addictive.




Life is short very...

What about this then?


Each hookah session typically lasts more than 40 minutes, and consists of 50 to 200 inhalations that each range from 0.15 to 0.50 liters of smoke.Reports by the World Health Organization and the American Cancer Society have shown that, in a one-hour hookah session, users consume about 100 to 200 times the smoke and about 70 times the nicotine as they do in one cigarette.

Holy shit I did not know this. Great helpful info thanks haha... will go lighter on hookah now man... though I must say some of the best convos with my mates come from hookah sessions (excluding weed sessions back then) instead of just quick cig sessions.
