Background: Waterpipe (WP) smoking is a growing public health concern. However there is little information concerning the prevalence, knowledge, attitudes and cessation of WP smoking among high school students in Iran.Purpose: To determine the correlates of WP smoking among 15-17 year-old high school students in Iran.Methods: Data were collected using the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS), a selfadministrated questionnaire distributed to a representative sample of high school students aged 15-17 in the city of Tabriz. Current WP smoking was defined as past-30 day use and ever WP smoking was defined as at least one or two lifetime puffs. Differences in WP use, knowledge and attitudes were analyzed with Chi square and Fisher exact tests. Binary logistic regression estimated the association between relevant independent variables (e.g. age) and the dependent variables (current/ever WP smoking).

“…However, it is established that shisha smoke contains the same toxicants as cigarette smoke (Shihadeh, 2003;Shihadeh and Saleh, 2005). Not surprisingly, carbon monoxide is found in shisha users' breath Ward et al, 2006;Chaouachi, 2007) and nicotine is found in shisha users' blood ; blood nicotine of a daily shisha user is of the similar level to that of an individual who smokes cigarettes every day (Maziak et al, 2004;Neergaard et al, 2007). Shisha smoking leads to substantial health harm including cancer, cardiovascular disease, decreased pulmonary function and nicotine dependence (Jabbour et al, 2003;Maziak et al, 2004;Knishkowy et al, 2005;Ward et al, 2006).…”

Background: About 30% of college students have smoked hookah tobacco. Although most students perceive this product to be innocuous and non-addictive, hookah tobacco increases the risk for disease and nicotine dependence. Currently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate the manufacture, distribution, or sale of hookah tobacco. Objective: Empirical literature pertaining to hookah tobacco smoking is reviewed with a focus on the implications for regulatory policy. Methods: PubMed, PsycINFO, and Scopus databases were searched to locate articles published in English. The literature search combined
