Hi Doctors, reducing smoking to 1 "Arguile" per week is still a big danger? or it is somehow ok to have one per week for about 2 hrs, knowing that i don't smoke cigarettes. Thank you

Dr. Ziad Mansour Thoracic Surgery
All kinds of smoke are dangerous for lungs, heart, vessels, and other organs also.
Reducing the consumption is better than consuming largely.
Being in a smoking area (passive smoking) is also bad for your health.
You should stop smoking and avoid smoking atmospheres.

Many people think that smoking arguileh is less dangerous than cigarette smoking, but all the studies have shown that the inhalation of the toxic substances is worse than cigarette smoking.
Smoking 10g of arguileh tobacco is equivalent to smoking 10 cigarettes and the quantity of nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide is more elevated.
So arguileh is not less carcinogenic than cigarettes.
Finally the nicotine is a drug that will lead to addiction.
So please don't smoke any more!
