“…There have also been numerous case reports of acute eosinophilic pneumonia in shisha smokers. Dyal et al described a 26‐year‐old female who had recently started shisha smoking, who was admitted with cough, dyspnoea, and pleuritic chest pain . Initial CT of the chest demonstrated small nodular opacities in the right lower lobe; however, the patient deteriorated, requiring admission to the intensive care unit where a repeat chest radiograph showed extensive bilateral pulmonary opacities.…”

A 19‐year‐old male who regularly smoked tobacco shisha pipes presented with pleuritic chest pain, dyspnoea, and cough. He was found to have multiple bilateral lung nodules on computed tomography. A biopsy of the lung revealed necrotizing granulomatous inflammation but without evidence of infection, foreign body, vasculitis, or malignancy. There was spontaneous and complete clinical and radiographic resolution over the next 12 weeks following cessation of shisha use.

Waterpipe smoking is an old form of tobacco smoking, originating in Persia and the Middle East. The popularity of the waterpipe is increasing worldwide, particularly among young adults, and there are widespread misconceptions regarding its negative health effects. The inhaled smoke of the waterpipe contain several toxic and hazardous materials including nicotine, tar, polyaromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals, all of which are proven to be related to lung diseases and cancer. Regular waterpipe smoking is associated with respiratory symptoms, a decrease in pulmonary function and increased risk for lung disease such as COPD. Additional negative health effects include increased risk for arterial stiffness, ischaemic heart disease and several cancer types including lung cancer. This review summarises the negative health effects of waterpipe smoking, with emphasis on cardiorespiratory complications. Increased awareness and knowledge amongst healthcare professionals will hopefully help identify waterpipe smokers and promote patient education. Applying World Health Organization (WHO) regulations will provide a synergistic effect in reducing waterpipe use and associated disease.

“…Among the four cases of AEP associated with water pipe smoking reported in literature, three cases required intubation and mechanical ventilation for up to 7 days. [29][30][31][32] A fourth case required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for 7 days after mechanical ventilation failed. [33] AEP therefore, should be a diagnostic consideration in any patient with recent water pipe smoking who develops acute respiratory illness.…”

Invited Review introduCtion Origin and nomenclatureThere has been a considerable controversy regarding the origin of water pipe smoking. While some believe its origin can be traced back to ancient India when it was invented by a physician Hakim Abul Fath during the reign of Emperor Akbar as a less harmful method of tobacco use, others suggest that it was first used in South Africa, Persia, Ethiopia, and other countries. The latter belief was supported by the fact that more ancient traces of water pipe smokes were found in Southern or Eastern Africa. [1][2][3] Regardless of its origin, trade routes seem to have helped disseminate the practice throughout parts of Asia and the Middle East. [4] Water pipe smoking has been recognized in different countries by different names. [5] Many of these names are of Indian, Turkish, Uzbek, Persian, or Arab origin. "Narghile" (a name commonly used in Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Greece, and Palestine) is derived from the Persian word nārgil or "coconut." "Shisha" is from the Persian word shishe or "glass." "Hashishe" is also an Arabic word for grass, which may have been another way of saying tobacco. Hookah is an Arabic name, meaning a small box, pot, or jar. Both names refer to the original methods of constructing the smoke/ water chamber part of the hookah. "Shisha" is the name that is more commonly used in Egypt. In Iran, it is called ghalyoun or ghalyan and in Pakistan it is referred to as huqqa. [5]
