Abstract
The medical hypothesis that the mainstream smoke (the one inhaled by the user) from "water pipes" (mainly: shisha, hookah, narghile) causes oral cancer is certainly acceptable. However, most of the recent reviews on this issue, including an attempt to develop an hypothesis for hookah carcinogenesis, have not cited key references of the world available literature which, so far, generally do not support such an hypothesis. Besides, the proposal is biased since it is apparently an adaptation of the cigarette model whereas cigarette and hookah smokes are, chemically to start with, completely different. Furthermore, all water pipes, despite their striking varieties and the consequences on the chemical processes, are, according to the same cancer-hypothesis, considered as one. The reason is the use, in the cited mainstream literature, of a nominalism ("waterpipe", often in one word) which does not allow any distinction between devices. This critical article suggests to take into account all the peculiar characteristics into consideration in order to come up with another (or several other) carcinogenesis model(s). "Firmly believing] that water pipe smoking can provoke lung cancer as well as oral cancer", based on what may be seen as a rather reductionist view of the issue, is not enough.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Waterpipe tobacco smoking prevalence is increasing around the globe despite current evidence that smoke emissions are toxic and contain carcinogenic compounds. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate current health warning labelling practices on waterpipe tobacco products and related accessories. METHODS: All waterpipe tobacco products, as well as waterpipe accessories, were purchased from Lebanon and a convenience sample was obtained from Dubai (United Arab Emirates), Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Bahrain, Canada, Germany and South Africa. FINDINGS: Of the total number of waterpipe tobacco products collected from Lebanon, the majority had textual health warning labels covering on average only 3.5% of total surface area of the package. Misleading descriptors were commonplace on waterpipe tobacco packages and related accessories. CONCLUSIONS: There are no WHO FCTC compliant waterpipe-specific health warning labels on waterpipe tobacco products and related accessories. Introducing health warnings on waterpipe tobacco products and accessories will probably have worldwide public health benefits.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide poisoning has been reported as a result of exposure to various sources of smoke, such as car exhaust fumes, home water heaters and tobacco smoke. We describe a case of symptomatic, moderately severe carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning in a young Mediterranean man after smoking a waterpipe, or shisha. This case highlights the importance of considering carbon monoxide exposure in patients presenting with non-specific neurological symptoms to the emergency department (ED).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the impact of educational intervention on knowledge, attitude and practices with regard to water pipe smoking among adolescents (14-19 years old) in Karachi. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey of adolescents aged 14-19 years studying at different educational institutions of Karachi, Pakistan was conducted through multistage sampling on a pre-tested self-administered questionnaire. They were divided into high, middle and lower socioeconomic strata on the basis of monthly fee structure. The impact of health messages was assessed two months after education sessions through post-test of only high and middle socioeconomic strata. RESULTS: A total of 646 students were surveyed for the pre test and 250 students for the post test. A significant association was found for water pipe smoking among the socioeconomic class (p < 0.001). Water pipe is more addictive as compared to cigarettes was marked by more students after the sessions (54% vs 68%; p < 0.001). A significant difference was seen for water pipe being more socially acceptable (58% vs 80%; p < 0.001), it is part of our cultural heritage (29% vs 58%; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Shisha smoking was more prevalent among the high socio economic group, which might be because of the cost, accessibility and availability. The knowledge of the students regarding water pipe smoking improved after the health awareness sessions.

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
