Is enjoying hookah same as smoking cigarettes?

No, however comparing hookah to cigarettes is inaccurate and misleading. All tobacco products include dangers. You can our in detail video here.

Hookah produces an aerosol that is made up of mostly water (75%) and glycerol (60%) and heated at a temperature that is four times lower than that of a burning cigarette (15 percent ). In contrast, tar, carbon monoxide, and nicotine make up 75% of cigarette smoke.

Compared to other tobacco consumption, hookah is typically consumed seldom by most people. As an instance, 90% of hookah users in the US only consume it once per month or less often. The average American smoker, in comparison, smokes 14 cigarettes each day. The average German only smokes hookah twice a week.

Shisha must be prepared ahead of time and cannot be easily transported or used "on the go." Because of its history, makeup, and use, shisha is a unique cultural and social experience that cannot be compared to other tobacco products with a high frequency of use.
