Shisha: Banned but still burning

Public health authorities emphasise that shisha is far from harmless. Experts warn that a single session can expose users to large volumes of smoke, sometimes more than 100 times that of a single cigarette.  It contains high levels of nicotine, carbon monoxide and carcinogens. These toxins increase risk of cancers (lung, throat, bladder, oral), cardiovascular disease, infertility and birth defects.
