Abstract |
| |
This paper reviews the present knowledge about the nature of hookah (narghile, shisha) ETS and, in the light of the controversy over the actual health effects of cigarette ETS, concludes that the former should not be hyperbolised in an unscientific way as, unfortunately, a WHO report suggests. |
