The purpose behind this paper is to analyze the major differences and health risks between the smoking of cigarettes and hookahs. There are a plethora of research documents regarding the similarities and differences between the hookah and conventional tobacco products such as cigars or cigarettes. This paper will simply display research regarding each of the previously mentioned smoking mediums, and strive to determine fact from perceived fact. The hookah (water pipe figure 1) originated in ancient Persia/India and became a Turkish symbol of class (wealth) by the 19th century (“Fact Sheet Courtesy of UDOH” n. d. para 2). As time pressed on, the use of the hookah pipe began to spread along with the people that originally used it (“Fact Sheet Courtesy of UDOH” n. d. para 2). Immigration from the Middle East, India, and Pakistan eventually brought the hookah pipe to Europe (“Fact Sheet Courtesy of UDOH” n. d. para 2). With the arrival of the hookah came many cafes, bars and lounges where the water pipe could be smoked along with a beverage or meal (“Fact Sheet Courtesy of UDOH” n. d. para 2). In today’s society, smoking hookah is a popular way to have social gatherings among colligate youth. Traditionally smoked tobacco (Cigarettes, cigars, and pipes) originated in the Americas sometime between 600 and 900 A. D. (Jacobs, 1997). The native people often smoked tobacco for religious purposes, and thus did not do so on a regular basis (Jacobs, 1997). It wasn’t until the
He states that tobacco started in Europe due to Portuguese sailors, and from there it spread and soon became was in high demand. Chinese people thought that tobacco had medicinal purposes, while Native Americans thought that tobacco connected you to a supernatural world.
The use of Native Americans in cigar stores dates back to the late 1700s in Europe, where many citizens were illiterate, and certain symbols had to be used in order to let people know what services were available in an establishment (three gold balls for pawn shops, candy-striped poles for barber shops, etc.). The cigar shop “Indians” were not actually Indians at first, but white or African men in traditional Native American clothing such as headdresses and kilts made of leaves or feathers. This later evolved to more accurately depict these characters, and eventually the cigar shop Indians actually looked like Native Americans. Cigar shop Indians started declining in the 20th century when sidewalk space was limited and people were learning

Tobacco came about in the 1400’s, when Christopher Columbus was gifted with a small dried tobacco leaves from the American Indians that he encountered on the small island of San Salvador. Back then, men used tobacco as “drink smoke” and “tobacco drinking”. During 1559, the year historians mark as the year tobacco was officially introduced to Europe, the French ambassador to Portugal, Jean Nicot, presented some tobacco plants acquired in the New World, and from then tobacco was here to stay.
The Native Americans used tobacco for smoking at ceremonies to amuse their gods. European usage When the Spanish came back from the new world, tobacco became one of the biggest trade products. The Spanish introduced tobacco to Europeans in about 1528, and by 1533, French ambassador in Lisbon Portugal called
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
In Chaucer's, The Canterbury Tales, Chaucer uses many aspects of one tale and incorporates it into another using many reoccurring themes. Many characters go through similar circumstances as Chaucer uses these themes to help each tale parallel another. For example, the Wife of Bath's Tale and The Nun's Priests Tale, uses the theme of textual evidence as a basis of reasoning of men to overpower women. The two tales that parallel each other the most are The Miller's Tale and The Summoner's Tale. Nicholas and Absolon of the Miller's Tale act immoral in many ways which the Friar in the Summoner's tale seems to exhibit. Chaucer uses the characteristics and actions of the characters in the Miller's Tale to create a character that embodies many aspects
Everyone should know that smoking cigarettes is a bad habit and is dangerous for the user's health. Yet, these cancer causing, teeth yellowing, bad breath causing cigarettes are still being smoked everyday by people all over the world. It used to be seen as cool to smoke and it seemed like everyone did it. Like a fashion fad, smoking cigarettes soon became out of style. People still smoke, but not as much as they used to. In 2003 electronic cigarettes were first introduced the United States as a safer alternative, making smoking or vaping, as its called now, a cool fad again. Smoking had been at an all time low until recently when alternatives to traditional smoking such electronic cigarettes or hookah have become popular especially among the younger generation(Rifkin para. 2). Many smokers are now using electronic cigarettes over traditional
Tobacco has a long history in the Americas and date back to somewhere between 600 to 900 A.D. Native American Indians smoked tobacco through a pipe only for religious and medical purposes. Following, European’s immigration to North America, tobacco was rapidly spread around the globe (Jacobs, 1997) due to addictive properties of the chemical, Nicotine present in plant Nicotina tobacum (Boffetta et al., 2008). Only the mode of delivery has changed. In the eighteenth century, snuff was prominent; the nineteenth century was the age of the cigar; the twentieth century saw the rise of the manufactured cigarette, and with a greatly increased number of smokers. At the dawn of the twenty first century approximately one third of adults in the world,
pointed that the current prevalence of hookah among twelve graders were about 17%. If the increase tobacco purchasing age policy were in place, the number would be decreased to 13%. This would gradually take place in ten years after the implementation of the policy. The results were the same if applied to other types of tobacco. For example, the prevalence of cigarettes would be reduced from 15% to 12% under the new policy (Buice, M. E., 2014).
Hookah utilization has been a renounced cultural activity in the Middle East for over 500 years ago (Immigrants Minority Health, 2008). The similar trend is carried by the migrants from those countries to their destination. Majority of the users, according to National Health Interview survey research, are the poor and uneducated (Immigrants Minority Health, 2008). Apparently, the addicted class has kept on rising amongst the ethnic group despite the increased awareness. The compelling reasons for smoking that they usually have is that tobacco has some benefits such as being an antiseptic, astringent, assisting in digestion or sleep as well as for driving away
“How bad is vaping compared to smoking? Should it be banned entirely? Is it more dangerous, is it better?” Are a few major questions one thinks about vaping. The mentality of nicotine addiction and toxic chemicals that lead to cancer are what concerns the public. With vaping on the high rise of popularity, the vaping industry is collectively growing bigger with more than 3500’s shops in counting and worth billions. Vaping history goes far back but just because it has a history doesn’t make it all good. Vaping dates back to the 5th century B.C. of Egypt, where they heated up herbs on hot stones to vape on. Shisha’s or heard by the name of Hookahs came 1500 years ago in India and have spread in popularity everywhere and many places in the United States just like the e-cigarette. The idea of the e-cigarettes was made 2000’s but was not heard of until the Chinese company Hon Lik introduced them in the 2000’s, becoming a big hit in the US in 2007. 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. Our region has always kept an open mind towards using electronic cigarettes as we can see the massive potential health benefits from switching” states Lisa Surtees, acting director at Fresh Smoke Free North East. If at all compared to smoking, vaping is the safer
