An hour of puffs from a hookah packs the same carbon monoxide punch as a pack-a-day cigarette habit, said Dr. KK Aggarwal, President, Heart Care Foundation of India. Hookahs, has grown in popularity in recent years. In colleges, towns and elsewhere, hookah bars have appeared all over the world that allow people to smoke the water pipes.
Users inhale tobacco smoke after it bubbles through water, a process that some people think filters toxins from the tobacco.
Hammond and a student, in a study published in a letter in the Journal of the American Medical Association, recruited 27 students who smoked water pipes for an hour on three different evenings. Another five students didn’t smoke the hookahs but stayed in the room with those who did.
The participants abstained from water pipe smoking for 84 hours before taking part in the study; the bowls of their water pipes were filled with water and 10 grams of Al Fakher mu’assal tobacco, then heated with charcoal.
Researchers monitored carbon monoxide in the breath of the participants both before and after the experiment using a machine designed to detect if people are smokers.
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 the subjects smoked hookahs and might reach environmentally unhealthy levels, as determined by the federal government, during longer sessions.
Smoking a water pipe for 45 minutes produces 36 times more tar than smoking a cigarette for five minutes.

Hi there, – discovered this website accidentally while looking across the net this evening, and glad that I did! I like the page structure and different shades, but I really should point out that I’m having difficulty when it loads. I’m using Lynx 2.6 internet browser for mac, and the header doesn’t line up well. i am fairly certain I’ve used a similar layout on a company’s internet site, but the menu seems O.k. on mine. I imagine the mistake is with my browser and I reckon that it’s the perfect time to change!

Hi there, I found your blog via Google while searching for first aid for a heart attack and your post looks very interesting for me.
OMG! I have to say, your blog has to be one of the most well written blogs that I have read in a long time.What I wouldn’t give to be able to create posts that are as interesting| as yours.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
What an idea! What a idea! Nice…
