Even though the creator from Hon Lik Co. had good intentions for the making of e-cigarette due to his father dying of lung cancer from smoking, vaping is still a possible force of destruction. “Despite making great strides to reduce smoking, tobacco is still our biggest killer.

It is evident that the use of tobacco (Nicotiana spp) ( Baud, 1991) as recreational activity is first recorded with the American Indians. This involved the use of both smoked and chewed across North America well before European contact (Adams, Johnson& Murphy, 2015). At this time there was predominantly two kinds of tobacco that were being cultivated, and there was also several varieties grew wild (Adair, 2000). Tobacco was started to be grown commercially in the 17th centry. This first happened in the southeast United States. And during the 18th Centry the French engineer Nicolas de Finiels (Finiels, 1989) in St. Louis 2000 pounds of tobacco were grown. . Indians inhabiting the plains increasingly used tabacum, at this time the Indians began to use not only for ceremonial purposes but also for recreation purposes (Stephen, 2016). As previously indicated tobacco was originally discovered by the Native peoples of the Americas, the transportation of tobacco to Europe is credited to the Europeans. This accured when Columbus, on October 15, 1492, sent sailors in to the interior of cuba where they found “… men with half-burned wood in their hands and certain herbs to take their smokes, which are some dry herbs put in a certain leaf, also dry, like those the boys make on the day of the Passover of the Holy Ghost; and having lighted one part of it, by the other

Have you ever wondered what the difference was between hookah and cigarettes? I have many times, being a person that occasionally indulges in hookah smoking, I was always curious to find out. Some of the questions I would ask myself, like which is more popular, which one is worse for you, what they are made of besides the obvious tobacco, and what the long term effects of both are.

The hookah has been used for centuries as a way of smoking tobacco as well as other substances. It was believed that because the smoke passed through water, it filtered all the harmful chemicals making it the safest approach to smoking tobacco (pp. 205). There has been millions of case studies based on cigarettes and the addictive and harmful outcomes, yet there has been very limited research based upon the dangers of hookah smoking (pp. 206). Toxic metals such as Cr, Ni, Cu, As, Cd, and Pb have been found in hookah tobacco providing the damage to the health of its users.

In August 2016, new rules mandate that hookah’s and e-cigarettes must be approved by FDA and contain health warnings. In addition to regular cigarettes, people become dependent on tobacco by smoking. Hookahs are water pipes used to smoke tobacco through a tube with a tapered mouthpiece. Many people think they are safer because the smoke is cooled as it passes through the water. Black resinous gunk builds up in the hookah tube, which suggests that this is a safer option. This gunk also enters the user’s mouth and lungs. Experts believe that hookahs are not safer than cigarettes. Germs are also shared as hookahs are passed from user to user. (Vaping Daily)
