Health effects associated with waterpipe smoking

ObjectiveIt is widely held that waterpipe smoking (WPS) is not associated with health hazards. However, several studies have documented the uptake of several toxicants and carcinogens during WPS that is strongly associated with harmful health effects. This paper reviews the literature on the health effects of WPS.Data sourcesThree databases-PubMed, MEDLINE and EMBASE-were searched until August 2014 for the acute and long-term health effects of WPS using the terms ‘waterpipe’ and its synonyms (hookah, shisha, goza, narghileh, arghileh and hubble-bubble) in various spellings.Study selectionWe included original clinical studies, case reports and systematic reviews and focused on clinical human studies. ∼10% of the identified studies met the selection criteria.Data extractionData were abstracted by all three authors and summarised into tables. Abstracted data included study type, results and methodological limitations and were analysed jointly by all three authors.Data synthesisWPS acutely leads to increased heart rate, blood pressure, impaired pulmonary function and carbon monoxide intoxication. Chronic bronchitis, emphysema and coronary artery disease are serious complications of long-term use. Lung, gastric and oesophageal cancer are associated with WPS as well as periodontal disease, obstetrical complications, osteoporosis and mental health problems.ConclusionsContrary to the widely held misconception, WPS is associated with a variety of adverse short-term and long-term health effects that should reinforce the need for stronger regulation. In addition, this review highlights the limitations of the published work, which is mostly cross-sectional or retrospective. Prospective studies should be undertaken to assess the full spectrum of health effects of WPS, particularly in view of its growing popularity and attractiveness to youth.

“…Moreover, diabetic patients are known to have increased severity of atherosclerosis as well as higher rates for multivessel disease and more complex lesions such Comparison between intermediate SYNTAX score tertile and high SYNTAX score tertile; CVD -cerebrovascular disease; PAD -peripheral artery disease; WBC -white blood cell; LDL-C -low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; HDL-C -high--density lipoprotein-cholesterol as long lesions, bifurcation lesions, and diffuse small vessel disease [16,17]. Furthermore, several studies have demonstrated that HT, smoking, and dyslipidaemia are associated with the complexity of atherosclerosis [18][19][20]. Also, Sunman et al [21] indicated that age, male gender, dyslipidaemia, and especially family history of premature CAD were associated with severity and extent of non-calcified coronary atherosclerotic plaques as shown by multidetector computed tomographic coronary angiography.…”

Predictive value of newly defined CHA2DS2-VASc-HSF score for severity of coronary artery disease in ST segment elevation myocardial infarction

et al. 2016

A b s t r a c tBackground: CHADS 2 and CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc scores are widely used in clinical practice and include similar risk factors for the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). It is known that the factors comprising the newly defined CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc-HSF score promote atherosclerosis and are associated with severity of CAD. Aim:To investigate the association of the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc-HSF score with the severity of CAD as assessed by SYNTAX score (SxS) in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods: A total of 454 consecutive patients with STEMI (males 79%, mean age 57.3 ± 12.9 years), who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention were included in our study. The patients were divided into three groups according to the SxS tertiles: low SxS group (SxS < 14; 151 patients), intermediate SxS group (SxS 14-20; 152 patients), and high SxS group (SxS ≥ 21; 151 patients). Results:The CHADS 2 , CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc, and CHA 2 DS 2 VASc-HSF scores were found to be significantly different among the SxS groups (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001). After multivariate analysis, the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc-HSF score was associated with high SxS (odds ratio [OR] 1.258, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.026-1.544; p = 0.028) together with age (OR 1.032, 95% CI 1.013-1.050; p = 0.001) and ejection fraction (OR 0.927, 95% CI 0.901-0.955; p < 0.001). Conclusions:A newly diagnosed CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc-HSF score predicts the severity of atherosclerosis in patients with STEMI.

Water pipe smoking has been practiced extensively for about 400 years. Water pipe smoking is common in the Saudi Arabia. Water-pipe smoking exposes smokers to high levels of tobacco and toxins. An observational and cross-sectional survey carried among 1170 participants to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice about water-pipe smoking among Saudi population. Data was collected and obtained by the online questionnaire that has been created in Google form and then published in different social media platforms over a period from September 2019 to November 2019. The data were entered in Excel and analyzed in EpiInfo7 statistical software to get descriptive statistics. Results: About 70% were females and 30% male, 43% of them are university students with 83% in the age group of the 18 -25 high participants. Low knowledge of Carbon monoxide poisoning effects = 78%, While 54% of the participants showed low knowledge about infectious disease transmitted by water-pipe. The Knowledge about water pipe contents and carbon monoxide poisoning was low. Further efforts will be necessary to increase the level of awareness among participants in Saudi Arabia regarding water pipe contents and carbon monoxide poisoning.
