Word is, hookahs are WAY worse for you than cigarettes (NOT that cigarettes aren't bad for you) precisely because it SEEMS so harmless. But you end up inhaling a whole lot more of the bad stuff because it's cooled and flavored and easy to smoke.
I am a 10 pack-year smoker who quit 7 years ago, and I've indulged in hookahs a couple times, and enjoyed it very much, but I have no pretense that it's healthier for me than my former habit.
