“…Perhaps most notably, it signals that addiction to nicotine through hookah is not seen as a health risk that is problematic or would dissuade potential customers. In an Internet culture that often embraces irony and sarcasm (Rajadesingan, Zafarani, & Liu, 2015; Reyes, Rosso, & Veale, 2013), #HookahAddiction is not a warning statement so much as a joke or a badge of honor. Further research on the portrayal of nicotine addiction in social media would be valuable to inform the public health response to evolving perceptions of addiction.…”

#Hookahlife: The Rise of Waterpipe Promotion on Instagram

Images from Instagram may help in understanding health behaviors such as hookah smoking. Our results suggest that domestic and international hookah promotion is common on Instagram. Instagram posts cast hookah in an overwhelmingly positive light and may normalize hookah use through associations with nightlife, community, and hookah identity. Policy makers and researchers should explore approaches for reducing the volume of promotional posts and tailoring counter-marketing to the specific themes presented on social media.

“…In the human‐computer interaction (HCI) context, humor has been shown to enhance the user experience, engagement, and personification (Khooshabeh et al, 2011; Niculescu et al, 2013). The HCI literature related to humor usually clusters around studies focused on developing and testing algorithms for generating humor, such as puns (Valitutti et al, 2013; Stock and Strapparava; 2015; Taylor and Raskin, 2013; Ritschel et al, 2019), or detecting humor, irony and sarcasm (Kiddon and Brun; 2011; Rajadesingan et al, 2015; Zhang and Liu, 2014; Mihalcea and Strapparava, 2006; Yang et al, 2015; Miller et al, 2017).…”

The paper reports on the study that developed a classification of humorous interactions with intelligent personal assistants (IPAs) and applied the classification to compare four IPAs, Apple Siri, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Microsoft Cortana, on their humor performance. The study relied on volunteer participants recruited through traditional academic channels (e.g. mailing lists) as well as Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT). While AMT and non‐AMT participants differed on some demographic characteristics, their overall ratings of IPA humor were not significantly different and were analyzed jointly using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that Apple Siri and Google Assistant received higher average ratings on humorous IPA responses compared to Amazon Alexa and Microsoft Cortana. IPA responses to joke requests were judged as being funnier than IPA responses to questions related to the IPA's personality, rhetorical statements and other humor types. Consistent with previous studies on humor, our findings did not demonstrate strong relationships between select user demographics (age, gender and humor style) and their ratings of humorous IPA responses.
