“…To the best of our knowledge this is the largest study exploring the adverse effect of hookah smoking. In line with a recent study in Saudi Arabia FBG was not significantly associated with hookah smoking [ 10 ] while cigarette smokers had significantly lower levels of glucose in compare with non-smokers. The few studies on the effect of hookah smoking on lipid profile are inconsistent.…”

ObjectivesThe adverse effects of cigarette smoking have been widely studied before, whilst the effects of hookah smoking has received less attention, although it is a common habit in the Middle East. Here we have investigated the effects of cigarette and hookah smoking on biochemical characteristics in a representative population sample derived from the Mashhad stroke and heart atherosclerotic disorder (MASHAD) cohort study, from Northeastern Iran.Study designA total of 9840 subjects from the MASHAD population study were allocated to five groups; non-smokers (6742), ex-smokers (976), cigarette smokers (864), hookah smokers (1067), concomitant cigarette and hookah smokers (41).MethodsBaseline characteristics were recorded in a questionnaire. Biochemical characteristics were measured by routine methods. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and p < 0.05 was considered significant.ResultsAfter adjustment for age and sex; the presence of CVD, obesity, metabolic syndrome, DM and dyslipidemia were significantly (p < 0.001) related to smoking status. After multivariate analysis, HDL (p < 0.001), WBC (p < 0.001), MCV (p < 0.05), PLT (p < 0.01) and RDW (p < 0.001), and the presence of CVD (p < 0.01), obesity (p < 0.001), metabolic syndrome (p < 0.05) and DM (p < 0.01) remained significant between cigarette smokers and non-smokers. Between hookah smokers and non-smokers; uric acid (p < 0.001), PLT (p < 0.05) and RDW (p < 0.05), and the presence of obesity (p < 0.01), metabolic syndrome (p < 0.001), diabetes (p < 0.01) and dyslipidemia (p < 0.01) remained significant after logistic regression.ConclusionThere was a positive association between hookah smoking and metabolic syndrome, diabetes, obesity and dyslipidemia which was not established in cigarette smoking.

“…[ 3 ] These diseases are caused by the effects of smoking tobacco on many different cells, organs, processes, and different systems of the body that lead to changes in the counts of cells and concentrations of different substances or hormones secreted by cells or tissues in the body that affect mainly the respiratory, cardiovascular, immunological, hematological, and reproductive systems. [ 3 4 5 6 7 ] Many studies have been carried out on the effects of cigarette smoking, and to a much lesser extent, on WPS on general health, immunity, and their link to inflammatory diseases and other related diseases, although the findings are contradictory.…”

Introduction: Water pipe smoking (WPS) is a major health threat leading to higher mortality, morbidity, and incidence of many diseases, such as inflammatory, respiratory and cardiovascular diseases; and cancers. This study aimed to determine the differences in the effects of WPS on the immune system, inflammatory markers, lipids, vitamin D, and thyroid hormones in female and male WP smokers, and compared to nonsmokers of both sexes. No other studies showed the differences between female and male WP smokers for the parameters investigated here, with the exception of the lipid profile. Methodology: The study was carried on 76 randomly chosen subjects (17 female and 17 male WP smokers, 21 female and 21 male nonsmokers) living in Saudi Arabia with an age range of 20–35 years. Blood samples were collected to determine the differential complete blood counts; lipid profiles; and C-reactive protein, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, and vitamin D concentrations. Results: Results showed no significant differences between female smokers and nonsmokers for all parameters. Male smokers had a significantly lower mean monocytes count and a significantly higher mean red blood cell count and hemoglobin concentration compared to male nonsmokers. Comparing females and males among smokers and nonsmokers separately, the only significant difference in the parameters that was not found in both comparisons was a significantly lower mean basophil count in female nonsmokers compared to male nonsmokers. Conclusion: It may be concluded that the effects of WPS were limited to males with immune cells and hematology minimally affected, and that females and males were affected differently by WPS.

“…An association between narghile use and malignancies, such as lung, oral, and nasopharyngeal cancer, has been suggested (Ben Saad, 2010; Bou Fakhreddine et al, 2014; El-Zaatari et al, 2015; Khemiss, Rouatbi, Berrezouga, & Ben Saad, 2016; Waziry et al, 2017). Studies about the effects of narghile use on biochemical data and metabolic profile are scarce (Al Mutairi, Shihab-Eldeen, Mojiminiyi, & Anwar, 2006; Hallit et al, 2017; Koubaa et al, 2015; Mahassni & Alajlany, 2017; Saffar Soflaei et al, 2018; Shafique et al, 2012). Even in the WHO second edition related to narghile use, no information about its possible effects on smokers’ biochemical or metabolic profile was reported (WHO, 2015).…”

“…Second, the inclusion of elderly subjects more than 60 years of age (Al Mutairi et al, 2006; Saffar Soflaei et al, 2018; Shafique et al, 2012) may introduce a bias because the prevalence of altered metabolic data (e.g., MetS) increases with age (Ribeiro, Seixas, Galvez, & Climent, 2018). Third, the lack of information about the different types of the narghile tobacco used (Hallit et al, 2017; Koubaa et al, 2015; Mahassni & Alajlany, 2017; Saffar Soflaei et al, 2018; Shafique et al, 2012), makes any comparison difficult, because in the case of tombak or jurak , in comparison to tabamel , the pattern is different (Ben Saad, 2009). Fourth, different methods of narghile-use quantification (not reported [Hallit et al, 2017; Mahassni & Alajlany, 2017; Saffar Soflaei et al, 2018; Shafique et al, 2012], run/day [Al Mutairi et al, 2006], total duration of smoking [Al Mutairi et al, 2006], narghile/year [NY; Koubaa et al, 2015], and quantity in kg of tobacco smoked/year [Koubaa et al, 2015]) were applied.…”

Studies evaluating the metabolic profiles of ENSs are scarce and presented controversial conclusions. This study aimed to compare the metabolic profiles of ENSs’ and AHNSs’ groups. Males aged 25–45 years and free from a known history of metabolic and/or cardiovascular diseases were included. According to the smoking status, two groups of ENSs and AHNSs were identified. Body mass index (BMI, kg/m 2 ), waist circumference (WC, cm), systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP, DBP, mmHg), fasting blood data in mmol/L (blood glycemia [FBG], triglycerides [TG], total cholesterol [TC], high- and low- density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C, LDL-C]) and obesity status were evaluated. The metabolic syndrome (MetS) was defined according to the 2006 International Diabetes Federation (IDF) recommendations. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( SD ) or percentages. Compared to the AHNSs’ group ( n = 29), the ENSs’ one ( n = 29) had (a) higher values of BMI (26.5 ± 2.3 vs. 28.2 ± 3.6), WC (95 ± 7 vs. 100 ± 10), and TG (1.22 ± 0.40 vs. 1.87 ± 0.85); and (b) included a lower percentage of males having low HDL-C (82.7% vs. 62.0%), and higher percentages of males having obesity (6.9% vs. 37.9%) or hypertriglyceridemia (10.7% vs. 51.7%). Both the ENSs’ and AHNSs’ groups: (a) had similar values of FBG (5.38 ± 0.58 vs. 5.60 ± 0.37), TC (4.87 ± 1.16 vs. 4.36 ± 0.74), HDL-C (0.92 ± 0.30 vs. 0.82 ± 0.21), LDL-C (3.09 ± 0.98 vs. 2.92 ± 0.77), SBP (117 ± 9 vs. 115 ± 8), and DBP (76 ± 6 vs. 73 ± 7); and (b) included similar percentages of males having normal weight (17.2% vs. 31.0%); overweight (44.8% vs. 62.1%); android obesity (79.3% vs. 59.6%), hypertension (10.3% vs. 10.3%), hyperglycemia (37.9% vs. 48.2%), and MetS (51.7% vs. 34.5%). There is a need to monitor narghile use among male metabolic patients since it alters some components of the MetS.
