A new Waterpipe work has been just published in Environment International (which ranks top 2% in its field based on Scopus).

This work is jointly led by IARC-WHO and AUB and involved a dynamic exchange of expertise and students.

It helps raise awareness about the health risks of waterpipe, how it impacts our DNA, and how its effects can be different from cigarettes, even though both are tobacco-based.

 

Here are some useful links to the work:
