The prevalence and trends of waterpipe tobacco smoking: A systematic review

IntroductionWaterpipe tobacco smoking is harmful to health however its prevalence estimates remain uncertain. We aimed to systematically review the medical literature on waterpipe tobacco prevalence and trends.MethodsWe searched Medline, Embase and ISI Web of Science for ‘waterpipe’ and its synonyms, without using language or date restrictions. We included any measure of waterpipe tobacco smoking prevalence in jurisdictionally representative populations. We stratified findings by prevalence measure (past 30 day, ever, regular or occasional, daily, other or unspecified) and age (adults or youth).ResultsWe included 129 studies reporting 355 estimates for 68 countries. In general, prevalence estimates among adults were highest in the Eastern Mediterranean, and among youth were about equal between Eastern Mediterranean and European regions. Past 30 day use was highest among Lebanese youth (37.2% in 2008), ever use was highest among Lebanese youth in 2002 and Lebanese university students in 2005 (both 65.3%), regular or occasional use was highest in among Iranian university students (16.3% in 2005), and daily use was highest among Egyptian youth (10.4% in 2005). Trend data were limited but most studies reported increased use over time, ranging from 0.3–1.0% per year among youth in the US to 2.9% per year among youth in Jordan (both for past 30 day use). Results were similar for ever use trends. Turkey (2.3% in 2008 to 0.8% in 2010) and Iraq (6.3% in 2008 and 4.8% in 2012) both witnessed decreased waterpipe use.ConclusionWaterpipe tobacco smoking is most prevalent in Eastern Mediterranean and European countries, and appears higher among youth than adults. Continued surveillance will be important to assess and inform policy measures to control waterpipe tobacco use.

“…Likewise, consistent evidence has linked water pipe use to both cigarettes and cannabis use. [17][18][19] A well-established methodology to investigate shared genetic liability between traits is by creating a PRS for one trait, using the estimated effect sizes from a large discovery sample, and then investigate whether this risk score can predict another trait in an independent target sample. 20,21 PRSs represent the genetic load an individual carries regarding a specific trait.…”

Most associations of PRSs for cigarette smoking and cannabis use with e-cigarette and water pipe use were not significant, potentially due to a lack of power. The significant associations between genetic liability to smoking heaviness with e-cigarette and water pipe phenotypes are in line with studies indicating a common genetic background for substance use phenotypes. These associations emerged only in non-smokers, and future studies should investigate the nature of this observation.

“…A growing number of studies have reported an association between waterpipe use and cigarette smoking [1,13,14]. A few studies have also found that waterpipe use in adolescents is related to other risk behaviours, including use of e-cigarettes [15], snus, alcohol and narcotics [16], as well as gambling [17]. Although waterpipe smoking has been associated with risky health behaviours and can also lead to nicotine dependence [18,19], no prior studies have determined whether such behaviour is also associated with adolescents’ mental well-being.…”

Use of a Water Pipe Is Not an Alternative to Other Tobacco or Substance Use Among Adolescents: Results From a National Survey in Sweden

Abstract: Water pipe use among adolescents in Sweden is not a recreational tobacco use alternative to cigarettes and should be regarded as a marker of multiple substance use.
