“…Close to half of students who currently smoked shisha had two or more shisha smoking sessions in a day. Studies have shown that in just a single session of shisha smoking people inhale significantly higher amounts of harmful chemicals and toxic metals compared with smoking a single cigarette 3 , 11 , 12 , 14 , 34 . Shisha smoking is also associated with low birth weight among infants of mothers who smoke, as well as poor mental health among users 12 .…”

“…In a study among high school students in Ethiopia, 38.6% of participants perceived shisha to be less harmful compared with cigarettes 10 . This misperception about its relative safety attracts many people, especially youth, to initiate smoking shisha 3 . However, evidence has shown that shisha tobacco smoke has many of the same harmful chemicals as cigarettes, including carbon monoxide, tar, and nicotine, and shisha smoking more than doubles the risk of respiratory illnesses and esophageal, oral, and lung cancer 11 , 12 .…”

INTRODUCTION Although shisha smoking is banned in Senegal, it has become increasingly popular, especially among youth. Despite the health risks associated with shisha smoking, there are few studies on shisha smoking in West Africa and none in Senegal. Our study assessed the prevalence and factors associated with shisha smoking among students aged 13–15 years in Senegal. METHODS We used the 2020 Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) Senegal data from 2524 students aged 13–15 years. We calculated the weighted prevalence of ever and current (past 30 days) shisha smoking. Multivariable logistic regression analyses identified factors associated with ever and current shisha smoking among students. RESULTS The prevalences of ever and current shisha smoking were 9.8% (95% CI: 7.7–12.3) and 2.2% (95% CI: 1.5–3.1), respectively. Ever shisha smoking was significantly associated with being male (AOR=1.97; 95% CI: 1.33–2.92), current cigarette smoking (AOR=7.54; 95% CI: 2.95–19.29), higher class grade (AOR=2.27; 95% CI:1.10–4.67), more weekly pocket money (AOR=3.29; 95% CI:1.36–7.95), current use of smokeless tobacco (AOR=11.53; 95% CI: 4.98– 26.72), and exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke in public (AOR=1.55; 95% CI: 1.00–2.41). Current shisha smoking was significantly associated with current cigarette smoking (AOR=21.75; 95% CI: 6.08–77.78), more weekly pocket money (AOR=8.91; 95% CI: 1.75–45.40), current use of smokeless tobacco (AOR=8.26; 95% CI: 2.07–33.04), and fathers’ smoking (AOR=3.34; 95% CI: 1.24–8.96). CONCLUSIONS One in 10 students aged 13–15 years have ever smoked shisha and 2.2% were currently smoking it, suggesting that shisha smoking is a public health concern in Senegal. Senegal might consider offering students more education on the harms of shisha, both in schools and through comprehensive media campaigns that address all tobacco products.

“…The patient's history of prolonged hookah smoking serves as a critical reminder of the lifestyle factors contributing to cancer risk. Hookah, often misconceived as a safer alternative to cigarette smoking, contains a variety of carcinogens [ 9 ]. The case highlights the urgent need for increased awareness and educational efforts regarding the risks of hookah smoking, particularly in regions where its use is culturally embedded.…”

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major health concern and a significant contributor to global oncological mortality, influenced by genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors. Hookah smoking, prevalent in the Middle East, has been associated with an increased risk of various cancers, including CRC. This case report discusses the incidental discovery of metastatic CRC in a 42-year-old habitual hookah smoker, shedding light on the potential association between hookah use and CRC pathogenesis. Additionally, it addresses the diagnostic complexities posed by the asymptomatic nature of CRC, often identified through non-specific indicators such as abnormal liver enzymes. Furthermore, the case illustrates the crucial role of family medicine in detecting diseases, highlights the significance of multidisciplinary care in managing advanced CRC, and emphasizes the importance of public health initiatives to raise awareness about the risks of hookah smoking and promote regular health screenings in at-risk populations.
