Pediatrics -- P3Rs for Knishkowy and Amitai, 116 (1) 113-119 The findings of the corresponding studies cannot be relevantly exploited because very often one cannot clarify if the committed volunteers were exclusive hookah smokers, ex-consumers of cigarettes having one day stopped smoking or yet having substituted for it the hookah practice. We decided not to discuss the methodological problems of each individual study, but mentioned this in a general way, including “the difficulty in studying the isolated effects of narghile since most of the smokers are also current or past cigarette smokers”. The issue of adolescents’ adding drugs or alcoholic beverages to the tobacco is based on one reference only (4), cited in the text, and cannot be generalized to other populations. pediatrics.aappublications.org /cgi/eletters/116/1/e113   (1385 words)

LETTER: Measuring Real Exposure to Narghile (Hookah, Shisha) Smoke & Other Concerns Related to Public Health Certainly, the scenario proposed for Syria, a country with a similar narghile smoking profile as Lebanon, missed the point (8, 19).
