Hubbly

Using a Hookah known as "Hubbly" to smoke tobacco poses serious health risks to smokers and others exposed to the smoke from the hookah.The charcoal used to heat the tobacco can raise health risks by producing high levels of carbon monoxide, metals, and cancer-causing chemicals.

Even after it has passed through water, the smoke from a hookah has high levels of these toxic agents.

Hookah tobacco and smoke contain several toxic agents known to cause lung, bladder, and oral cancers.

Tobacco juices from hookahs irritate the mouth and increase the risk of developing oral cancers.Although many users think it is less harmful,hookah smoke contains many of the same harmful components found in cigarette smoke, such as nicotine, tar, and heavy metals.

Water pipe smoking delivers nicotine—the same highly addictive drug found in other tobacco products.

1 The tobacco in hookahs is exposed to high heat from burning charcoal, and the smoke is at least as toxic as cigarette smoke.

The heat sources used to burn hookah tobacco release other dangerous substances, like carbon monoxide. This may put hookah users at additional risk.
