After this research she observed that the exhaled carbon monoxide in participants was an average of 42 parts per million, higher than that reported in cigarette smokers (17 parts per million).

Hookah is a kind of tobacco water pipe that is popular among young people. In a study was showed that hookah gathers the same carbon monoxide blow as a pack-a-day cigarette.

In recent years the hookahs popularity have grown. In nowadays, smoking hookah in public and social setting became legal.

Users inhale tobacco smoke after it bubbles through water, a process that some people think filters toxins from the tobacco. It's a myth that hookah smoking is safer than smoking cigarettes. Hookah smokers actually inhale more tobacco smoke than do cigarette smokers because of the massive volume of smoke they inhale.

According to a World Health Organization advisory, even after passing through water, tobacco smoke still contains high levels of toxic compounds, including carbon monoxide, heavy metals and cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens).

Across the United States hookah bars have sprung up in cities, and groups of people often visit them to relax and talk while smoking from the water pipes.

Hookah is very popular on U.S. college campuses too.

S. Katharine Hammond, chairwoman of the division of environmental health sciences at the University of California, said: "This is a worldwide phenomenon. It's very popular on U.S. college campuses, but most professors are unaware of it."

Hammond investigated 27 students who smoked water pipes. After this research she observed that the exhaled carbon monoxide in participants was an average of 42 parts per million, higher than that reported in cigarette smokers (17 parts per million). The study also found that carbon monoxide levels grew in the room where students smoked kalian.

Thomas Eissenberg, an associate professor of psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University who studies hookah use, said that smoking a water pipe for 45 minutes produces 36 times more tar than smoking a cigarette for five minutes.

WHO warned that using water pipes, a mixture of tobacco, molasses and fruit flavors, usually exposes a person to more smoke over a longer period of time than do cigarettes.

Doctors and public health experts sustain that smoking from a hookah is just as dangerous as smoking cigarettes.

According to the WHO report, the average hookah smoking session yields a greater nicotine intake than a pack of cigarettes.
