Hookah use is becoming more prevalent in our country and actually its use began centuries ago in other countries. Today we are seeing an increase in younger kids and adults utilizing the hookah pens. This device actually has some of the same components that are in cigarettes such as nicotine and other chemicals and then creates a vapor. There is very little research currently available on the health risks associated with these electronic products, but considering the products involved, we should realize that these devices can raise health risks of heart disease, lung, stomach, esophageal and bladder cancers as well as oral cancer. In Arizona, we have the ASHLine that can help you or your loved ones with this addiction. http://azdhs.gov/tobaccofreeaz/health/quitting.html
