Abstract
Many biomedical studies of the past seven years have failed in giving a sound picture of what hookah (shisha, narghile, goza) smoke and smoking are. The reasons are many: from the widespread use of a confusing neologism ("waterpipe") instead of the few clear and natural words used for centuries by indigenous and non-indigenous people in their real life, to the use of artificial smoking (machines) instead of relying on quantitative and qualitative analysis of toxicants directly performed on real hookah smokers.

Abstract
An interview survey was carried out in a rural village and two nearby schools in Qalyubia Governorate to assess the pattern of smoking and knowledge about religious ruling (Fatwa) and its impact on the quit attempts. Also, a similar survey was conducted in 6 Shisha cafés in Cairo. The results showed that the majority of respondents (81% among rural adults, 83.2% among Shisha café patrons, 73.3% among rural youth and 81.4% among rural students) knew about the Fatwa on smoking. Higher proportions of all participants thought that smoking is a sin (97.3% among rural adults, 80.8% among Shisha café patrons, 94.4% among rural youth and 98.4% among rural students). There was a significantly higher knowledge about Fatwa on smoking among men than women. This indicates a successful outreach program targeted mainly to men through mosques. Knowledge about Fatwa on smoking increased significantly with increased exposure to antismoking messages from religious leader. Knowledge about the Fatwa on smoking or belief that smoking is a sin had no significant effect on quit attempts. Our results point to the need for intensive efforts on the part of religious leaders to translate the current belief that smoking is a sin into quitting among smokers. Better results may be achieved through personal interactions in small groups rather than in mosque settings.

Abstract
To determine the prevalence of shisha smokers among medical and dental students of Karachi and assess their knowledge, attitude and practice regarding shisha, and the effect of discipline medical/dental] and year of professional education with their responses. Cross sectional, observational study. One thousand two hundred and four students from the six medical/dental colleges of Karachi participated in the study. The present study was conducted during April and May of the year 2007. The questionnaire consisted of personal questions like gender, field of study, name, and year of study; smoking habits, frequency and place of smoking, attitude and knowledge about diseases developed due to shisha smoking. Chi-square test was used to find relationship between independent variables i.e. field of study medical/ dental], and year of study 1st], 2nd], 3rd], 4th] and final year] with response variables. The mean age of the participants was 20.2 +/- 1.6 years. Two hundred and seventy three students 22.7%] indicated that they smoke shisha. One hundred and nineteen of the male students 41.2%] and 154 female students 16.8%] indicated positively for shisha smoking. Dental students showed 13% higher prevalence of shisha smoking than medical students p<0.0001]. Eighty percent of respondents selected either restaurants or 'shisha bar' for the place of smoking. Sixty four percent of the respondents were influenced by their friends to adopt this habit. Eighty one percent of the respondents admitted that shisha smoking was harmful. Twenty eight percent of the respondents believed an association between shisha smoking and cancer, and about a quarter related it with heart diseases. Thirty eight percent of the shisha smokers were also involved in cigarette smoking. High prevalence of shisha smoking was observed among medical and dental students. However, most of them had adopted this habit as leisure and for socialization. The awareness about the health hazards due to shisha smoking is needed as an intervention to extricate them from this habit
