Answer 1

Since you have asked this question in Cancer section, i am giving the harms of Hookah related to Cancer Disease only.

Medical research on hookahs shows great cause for concern about the health effects of hookah use. A review of the health effects of hookah use in the medical journal Pediatrics concludes that the harmful effects of hookahs are similar to or even greater than those caused by cigarettes. The smoke aerosol from hookah use shows very high levels of nicotine, "tar," and heavy metals. The nicotine content is equivalent to a smoker that smokes 30 cigarettes a day, demonstrating very high potential for addiction. The cancer causing agents are similar, levels of carbon monoxide are higher, and hookah use has an additional risk of person to person infection related to the method of smoking practice. A case-control study of 214 Chinese tin miners found there was a two-fold increased risk for lung cancer among those who had ever used water pipes compared with nonsmokers. Twenty two of twenty five cases of lung cancer in a study in India were among those who were regular hookah users. Research with a series of Egyptian patients showed that hookah smokers who smoked in groups had increased rates of infection when compared with nonsmokers[citation needed]. Thomas Eissenberg, a psychology professor at Virginia Commonwealth University and co-author of a hookah study, noted that he found that "Every risk of cigarette smoking is also associated with water pipes." -
