Which statement about hookah or shisha smoking is correct?
- A. It is safer than cigarettes because the smoke passes through water
- B. It also delivers nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide and is harmful
- C. It contains no tobacco at all
- D. It affects only the mouth
Explanation
The water cools the smoke but removes little tar or CO, and sessions are long, so intake is substantial. The belief that the water filters out harm is the myth this question tests.
