Before you pick up the shisha pipe, read this
Shisha smoking has been promoted as a harmless social activity thanks to the numerous lounges, clubhouses and bars that have sprung up in the neighborhood. For some, shisha smoking is a daily fun habit, while for others, it is a one-off indulgence that allows them to unwind and enjoy their time.
It is an obvious fact that individuals enjoy their hookah sessions and nothing will make them give it up. Smoking shisha may feel like fun, but research has shown that your transient happiness is just as harmful because smoke contains significant amounts of pollutants even after it has passed through water.
Even if you smoke shisha, there are bound to be some interesting facts about it that you are unaware of. Join us on this adventure to learn more about it if you’re curious.
