what is in a shisha pipe

A shisha pipe is a smoking device that is also known as a nargila, argileh, waterpipe, or hookah. It is made up of four parts: the head, body, bowl, and hose. Shisha smoking involves heating specially prepared tobacco, which is usually mixed with fruit or molasses sugar, in the bowl using wood, coal, or charcoal. The resulting smoke is then drawn through the water in the body of the pipe and inhaled through the hose. Popular flavors of shisha include apple, strawberry, mint, and cola. Shisha often contains the same type of tobacco as cigarettes, which means that shisha smokers are at risk of developing the same health problems as cigarette smokers, such as cancer and heart disease. A World Health Organization study has suggested that a one-hour session of smoking shisha can be the same as smoking 100 or more cigarettes.
