Shisha

Something to share:

This Shisha smoking is also known as narghile, hookah and goza. It was originated in Persia and India and has been used for 4 centuries.

I was first introduced to shisha in a mamak shop in Kelantan (surprisingly), then later found out that there is a shop in Sunway which even sell the colourful nice water pipe which used for shisha smoking.

Shisha is equivalent to cigarette smoking. A single session of this waterpipe smoking deliver the same amount of tar as a pack of cigarettes. Shisha also contain nicotine, carbon monoxide, benzene, toluene, arsenic, lead, formaldehyde and carcinogens.

So for those who think that it is safe, think twice. It is as bad or even worst compare to the normal cigarettes...
