Shisha

• Shisha is tobacco that has been soaked in honey or treacle and is smoked through a waterpipe. The tobacco is often flavoured.
• Smoking shisha for one hour is equivalent to smoking 100 cigarettes.
• The water in a shisha pipe cools the smoke and allows you to inhale more smoke deeper into your lungs. It does not filter out any of the chemicals.
• Shisha smoke contains 36 times more tar, 15 times more carbon dioxide and higher levels of lead and arsenic than cigarettes.
• Shisha does contain nicotine and can be addictive.
