“…A single shisha smoking session exposes users to 9-11 times the amount of carbon monoxide, and about twice the amount of nicotine, compared with a single cigarette 2 , 11 , 14 . The sharing of the waterpipe mouth piece is also a risk factor for the spread of infectious diseases including tuberculosis 15 .…”

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.

Waterpipe (WP) smoking has rapidly grown in popularity in the United States and other Western countries with the fastest uptake among younger individuals. This growth has been encouraged by the misperception that WP smoke is harmless or less harmful than cigarette smoke. To better understand how WP affects the health of young people, we conducted a narrative review of the literature focusing on the adverse health effects of WP smoking in adolescents and younger adults. We searched scientific literature databases including PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and ISI Web and selected papers that met the inclusion criteria. Sixty-three papers met the inclusion criteria and were selected for review. Data were abstracted from the selected papers into a standardized table. The evidence demonstrates that WP smoking can cause acute lung infection and injury, and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, in adolescents and young adults. It is also associated with adverse subclinical effects in this sub-population, including oral and systemic genotoxicity, lung function decline, and the alteration of vascular and hemodynamic functions. Limited evidence that is available indicates associations with psychological and neurological effects and asthma. No identified publications examined the association between WP use and type 2 diabetes, a condition that is associated with cigarette smoking among young people. WP smoking by younger individuals can result in their hospitalization due to systemic CO poisoning and acute lung disease, and induce subclinical adverse effects in the oral cavity, pulmonary system, and in circulation, that are involved in the pathogenesis of local and systemic chronic diseases.
