“…Prospective longitudinal studies are needed to investigate the trajectory of tobacco use to understand how waterpipe use affects cigarette smoking progression among adolescents. Consistent with existing studies (Alzyoud et al 2013;Barnett et al 2009;Chan et al 2011;Jawad et al 2013Jawad et al , 2015aMinaker et al 2015;Palamar et al 2014;Smith et al 2011;Weglicki et al 2008), our results indicated that current waterpipe smoking was associated with male sex, older age, current cigarette smoking, other tobacco product use, and alcohol consumption. As high-risk behaviors (e.g., smoking, alcohol consumption, and drug use) tend to cluster in adolescents (Baskin-Sommers and Sommers 2006;Chen et al 2001;Faeh et al 2006), smoking cessation treatment and prevention programs for young people should address alcohol consumption and the use of multiple tobacco products rather than focusing on cigarette smoking only.…”

“…Cigarette smoking is the most important predictor of waterpipe use among adolescents (Barnett et al 2009;Jawad et al 2015a, b;Minaker et al 2015;Palamar et al 2014;Smith et al 2011;Weglicki et al 2008). Other factors include male sex (Barnett et al 2009;Jawad et al 2015a;Minaker et al 2015;Palamar et al 2014), older age or higher grade level (Barnett et al 2009;Jawad et al 2015b;Smith et al 2011;Weglicki et al 2008), peer smoking (Jawad et al 2013(Jawad et al , 2015aRoohafza et al 2011), parental smoking (Jawad et al 2013(Jawad et al , 2015a, alcohol consumption (Chan et al 2011;Czoli et al 2013;Palamar et al 2014), marijuana use (Chan et al 2011;Czoli et al 2013;Palamar et al 2014), other tobacco product use (Amrock et al 2014;Jawad et al 2013), and positive attitudes toward smoking (Barnett et al 2009).…”

Hookah smoking has increased worldwide, especially among youth, and has been identified as an emerging threat to public health. The aim of the present study was to estimate the prevalence and transition rates in hookah smoking statuses and predictors of transitions among a representative sample of Iranian high school students. In this longitudinal study, a representative sample (n = 5197) of students in the northwest of Iran was assessed thrice with a 6-month interval in 2010 and 2011. A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure hookah smoking, demographic characteristics, and personal and environmental factors. In total, the prevalence of hookah use (at least once a month) in this study was 6.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 5.1, 6.9). Results indicated that 44.9% (95% CI = 43.0, 46.7) of the students in the sample at least tried hookah smoking. During 1 year, 18.5% and 1.5% of students who have never used hookah before had transitioned to experimenter and regular hookah smoking, respectively, and notably, 7.8% of experimenters had transitioned to regular hookah smoking. Adjusted for other factors, being male, regular cigarette smoking, and positive attitude toward smoking were factors associated with students' transition to hookah smoking status. The incidence rate of hookah smoking in adolescents is notable. The findings identified the co-occurrence of risky behaviors that support programs aimed at reducing or preventing high-risk behaviors simultaneously.

‘Herbal’ but potentially hazardous: an analysis of the constituents and smoke emissions of tobacco-free waterpipe products and the air quality in the cafés where they are served

et al. 2013

'Herbal' shisha products tested contained toxic trace metals and PAHs levels equivalent to, or in excess of, that found in cigarettes. Their mainstream and sidestream smoke emissions contained carcinogens equivalent to, or in excess of, those of tobacco products. The content of the air in the waterpipe cafés tested was potentially hazardous. These data, in aggregate, suggest that smoking 'herbal' shisha may well be dangerous to health.
