“…Accumulating evidence that hookah smoking is associated with symptoms of nicotine dependence and negative health consequences highlights the need for development, implementation and evaluation of interventions specifically adapted to curb hookah smoking (Maziak et al, 2005;Maziak et al, 2007). At present, practically no public health initiatives have been introduced to reduce these health-risk knowledge gaps and nearly 90% of cities with indoor cigarette smoking bans still permit hookah tobacco smoking (Primack, Hopkins, et al, 2012).…”

INTRODUCTION Our aim was to assess the visibility and efficiency of graphic health warnings (GHWs) on waterpipe tobacco packs (WTPs) and to explore other more effective places to display them for better impact. We also evaluated the visibility of GHWs when placed on the waterpipe device. METHODS We conducted 3 cross-sectional study phases using face-to-face survey questionnaires in 2014-2015. Phase I surveyed 31 tobacco control experts, while Phase II surveyed 700 participants and Phase III surveyed 348 from the public in Cairo, Egypt. RESULTS Approximately half of the experts and participants in Phases II and III thought that GHWs on WTPs are not adequately visible, and 68.9% and 79.6% in Phases II and III, respectively, suggested posting warnings also in other places. About one-third of experts and 69.1% of Phase II participants suggested posting GHWs inside cafés or in public places, while 46.9% of Phase III participants favored placing them on waterpipes. After viewing our suggested positions on a waterpipe, all experts, 80.6% of participants in Phase II, and 81.6% in Phase III acknowledged that GHWs would be more visible there. The mouthpiece was the location selected most often across all phases (31.1% in Phase I, 35.6% in Phase II and 36.3% in Phase III). Lung and throat cancers were similarly effective in raising participants' concern about waterpipe smoking health risks (24.7%). CONCLUSIONS This is the first population-based study to explore the best location to place GHWs on waterpipes. Policymakers should consider enacting a regulatory framework for placing GHWs on waterpipe devices.

“…It has been claimed and repeated in the open peer-reviewed scientific literature that more than 100 million people worldwide smoke narghile daily (Maziak et al, 2007). However, the origin of such an estimate cannot be traced in any scientific database.…”

“…Unfortunately, each of the existing different names generally refers to different devices with different shapes, sizes, common tobaccobased mixtures, smoking patterns, etc. In these conditions, reducing such a striking physical, social and cultural diversity under a functionalist arbitrary neologism like ''water-pipe'' (Maziak et al, 2007) has unavoidably led researchers to a great confusion (Chaouachi, 2007b).…”
