Hookah & Vaping: The Next Deadly Threat To Your Health

hookah health risks

After a long five-day workweek, most people look forward to the weekend to kick back and relax with family and friends. I know I do. But if your idea of “kicking back” and “relaxing” involves hookah and vaping you might want to be cautious and reconsider a change in your habit. Although hookah and vaping appear to be harmless fun and the sweet delicious flavors from the vapors seem irresistible and tempting, hookahs and vaping can impact your lungs, bladder, mouth and much more if you continue to use it or be exposed to secondhand hookah smoke.
