Lately, kids think its “cool” to smoke hookah. They see their friends or older siblings doing it so they want to try it too. But they don’t know the damage that it can cause to them.
Hookah is flavored tobacco. There’s many different flavors like chocolate, vanilla, blueberry, mint, cherry mango, watermelon, lemon, strawberry etc. Even though it may taste good it has the same ingredients as cigarettes which is an addictive substance called tobacco.
Tobacco is a preparation of the nicotine-rich leaves of an American plant. They think its different from cigarettes but you know what, it’s even worse. Hookah is bad for you, it can harm you and you can get addicted to it. Nicotine is also an ingredient inside. Nicotine is a toxic colorless or yellowish oily, liquid that is the chief active constituent of tobacco, it acts as a stimulant in small doses but in larger amounts blocks the action of autonomic nerve and skeletal muscle cells. Water filtered smoke can damage the lungs and heart as much as cigarette smoke.
Before you think about smoking just stop and think for a second, think about all the damage it can cause to you.
