Abstract
Smoking is hazardous. Although this statement is heard or read by almost everyone but unfortunately, it is highly understated. Its impact on general population and outcomes of the campaign against smoking are debatable. It is an addiction that has catastrophic effects on health. Tobacco smoking has evolved with time into a more modernized, fashionable, look known as shisha which is becoming more of a status symbol now. Regrettably, it is even more toxic than its traditional counterpart cigarette. It is similar to Hookah but in addition to tobacco, it has some exotic flavors added to it. The question one should really be asking is its safety towards health? The answer, though, is known to many but still they are ignorant to the facts.
