“…Studies (9,10,(20)(21) that investigated nargile consumption represent the basis for this study and they were found searching for the key words such as: hookah, water pipe, smoking, high school, risk factors at PubMed MEDLINE. On the basis of the above mentioned studies, a questionnaire was prepared for this research.…”

“…The size, shape and tobacco used in the nargile vary in different regions (7). The most commonly used form of nargile nowadays consists of the head, body, bowl (usually made out of glass), hose, and mouthpiece (7)(8)(9). This type of nargile and its use refer to the consumption of nargile containing flavored tobacco (apple, watermelon, strawberry, cappuccino, etc.)…”

S U M M A R YIn recent years, the prevalence of hookah smoking has increased worldwide, particularly in young people, which may have potentially serious consequences for their health. The aim of this study was to examine the factors associated with the consumption of hookah by high school students.The present study was conducted in the city of Novi Pazar, and students aged 17-19 years attending the following high schools were included: Medical School, Grammar School, Economic-Commerce School and Catering School. The study was designed as a case-control study. The cases were students who consumed nargile, while the control group consisted of students who had never smoked nargile. A special questionnaire was constructed for the purpose of this research, which was used to evaluate the opinions of adolescents on the consumption of nargile.Our research included a total of 270 seniors in high schools in Novi Pazar. The average age of the students was 18 years. The most important factors that may contribute to start using nargile were: previous consumption of nargile by older family members, divorced parents, and active smoking of cigarettes by other family members. Most students emphasized that hookah smoking is socially unacceptable form of behavior. Also, hookah smoker were neither more attractive nor popular.Nargile consumption is more common by adolescents whose parents are divorced, as well as by adolescents whose family members are smoking nargile or tobacco. The most common reason for nargile consumption among adolescents is a desire for relaxation.

“…Waterpipe (WP) tobacco smokers, however, are exposed to remarkably higher concentrations [3,4]. Among carcinogens that are inhaled from smoky coal are carbon monoxide (CO) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) [5][6][7]. It is estimated that the level of CO sidestream emissions produced from the charcoal in a single session of WP smoking (30-90 min) is 35 times higher than the emissions produced from smoking a single cigarette and the direct CO exposure is equivalent to that produced from ten cigarettes.…”

The correlation of combined OGG1, CYP1A1 and GSTP1 gene variants and risk of lung cancer of male Iraqi waterpipe tobacco smokers

Genetic polymorphisms of genes whose products are responsible for activities, such as xenobiotic metabolism, mutagen detoxification and DNA-repair, have been predicted to be associated with the risk of developing lung cancer (LC). The association of LC with tobacco smoking has been extensively investigated, but no studies have focused on the Arab ethnicity. Previously, we examined the association between genetic polymorphisms among Phase I and Phase II metabolism genes and the risk of LC. Here, we extend the data by examining the correlation of OGG1 Ser326Cys combined with CYP1A1 (Ile462Val and MspI) and GSTP1 (Ile105Val and Ala103Val) polymorphisms with the risk of LC. Polymerase chain reactionrestriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and gene sequencing were carried out for genotyping the OGG1 polymorphisms of 123 LC patients and 129 controls. No significant differences in the frequencies of the OGG1 mutant allele between patients and controls were found. The distributions of heterozygous Ser/Cys or Cys/Cys genotypes of OGG1 were not associated with the risk of LC either according to the histological types of LC or based on waterpipe tobacco (WP) smoking status. In contrast, the combined effect of OGG1 variants with CYP1A1 and GSTP1 variants revealed a significant correlation with the OGG1 Ser326Cys-CYP1A1 MspI variants pairing. This association was significant (p = 0.001) in individuals who carried homozygous or heterozygous variant type genotypes of both genes in a reference with carriers of both wild-type genotypes (wt/wt − wt/wt). The odds ratios were 2.99 (95% CI 1.67-5.36), 2.68 (95% CI 1.08-6.62), and 2.80 (95% CI 1.18-6.69) for those who carried (wt/wt − wt/vt + vt/vt), (wt/vt + vt/vt − wt/wt), and (wt/vt + vt/vt − wt/vt + vt/ vt), respectively. The study suggests a limited correlation is present between carrying OGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism and the risk of developing LC in Arab populations.
