“…Diversos autores (Gedefaw et al, 2013;Jawad et al, 2013b;Jensen y Kvernrød, 2008;Yen et al, 2012), destacan que fumar en pipa de agua supone un importante momento de socialización, considerando algunos de ellos que en la actualidad está de moda entre los jóvenes (Giuliani et al, 2008). Según Jensen y Kvernrød (2008) la función social de fumar pipa de agua incluye tres elementos claves, el tiempo, el juego y la conversación, siendo identificada esta práctica como una forma de recreación divertida y entretenida Martinasek (2011).…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the daily effect of pre and post treatment of carob aqueous extract (600 mg/kg b. wt.); on rats exposed to were exposed to water pipe smoke (10 mg/kg; 15 minutes) for 2, 4, 6 and 8 w.Methods: Rats were divided into 6 groups; 1 st group was served as a control. Rats of the 2 nd group were administered amiodarone (an antiarrhythmic medication used as a model for lung toxicity) at a dose level of 30 mg/kg. The rats of 3 rd and 4 th groups were exposed to water pipe smoke and treated with carob extract respectively. However, the two remaining groups (5 th and 6 th ) were the pre-and post-treatment groups with carob extract respectively.Results: Amiodarone and water pipe smoke induced a significant increase in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP); on the contrary, induced a significant decrease in serum total protein and albumin. In addition; serum creatinine and urea showed a significant increase; as well as; amiodarone and water pipe smoke increased the oxidative stress (malondialdehyde/glutathione; MDA/GSH) in lung tissue homogenate. While; carob extract gavage showed protective and curative effects in liver and kidney functions; in addition; it decreased MDA level and increased GSH level significantly. Conclusion:Finally, we can conclude that the carob aqueous extract treatment revealed ameliorative effects on rats were exposed to water pipe smoke.

Waterpipe Tobacco Smoking: A Less Harmful Alternative?

The Tobacco Epidemic

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Waterpipe smoking is a centuries-old method of inhaling tobacco after it has passed through a body of water. Cultural variations exist in its use; however, the West in particular has witnessed a surge in flavoured waterpipe tobacco use, known as moassel. This is typically shared among peers for 30-45 min, and is now the second most popular form of tobacco consumption after cigarettes in 20 out of 30 European countries. Contrary to the common belief that it is a safer method of tobacco intake than cigarettes, waterpipe tobacco smoke composition is known to contain significant quantities of harmful toxicants akin to cigarette smoke composition. Studies on the longterm health effects of waterpipe tobacco smoking, although of low quality in these early research stages, suggest significant morbidity and mortality is associated with its use. Cessation outcomes are promising although more work is needed to develop and test waterpipe-specific interventions. The waterpipe industry remains largely unregulated and threatens to undermine existing tobacco control policies. Government, policy makers and public health agents should consider waterpipe tobacco smoking as a growing public health concern that warrants attention, particularly in regions of high prevalence.Waterpipe tobacco smoking has been present for several centuries, likely originating in the Middle East or South Asia [1] (see also chapter 1). There are cultural variations in the names given to waterpipe smoking, such as narghile, shisha, qalyan and goza. Although several types of tobacco mixtures can be used in a waterpipe, the recent popularity surge in waterpipe tobacco smoking mainly uses moassel tobacco, which is a fruit-flavoured tobacco mixture laced in honey and treacle. Figure 1 depicts a typical waterpipe apparatus. The user manually packs tobacco in the head of the apparatus, which is covered by pierced aluminium foil and has burning coal placed above it. The coal heats the underlying tobacco, and when the user inhales on the hose, smoke travels through the apparatus and into a water bowl prior to entering the user's lungs. One waterpipe session can last anywhere between several minutes to several hours [2]; however, users usually smoke for at least 30-45 min at a time [3]. Waterpipes are usually shared with peers and smoking is considered a social activity [4]. Waterpipes are manufactured in different shapes and sizes, with slight cultural variations in the type of tobacco and charcoal used. Prevalence of Waterpipe Tobacco SmokingThe prevalence of waterpipe tobacco smoking has surged dramatically in all continents since the late 1990s, despite plateauing or decreasing cigarette prevalence [5]. This is most likely due to increased immigration as well as the mass industrialisation of waterpipe tobacco, resulting in at least 100 million daily smokers [1]. In the US, nationally representative data show that waterpipe smoking is now among the more popular forms of tobacco consumption among young people and college students, where current use is estimated a...
