2 MAASSEL A new form of tobacco that came on the market in the 1990s In Syria, maassel is used exclusively by the vast majority of waterpipe users Maziak, W. et al (2004).International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 8, Most maassel made for export is produced in Bahrain and Egypt Tobacco is fermented with molasses and fruit essence Maassel is moist and pliable, making it easier to use than other waterpipe tobaccos, and it has a pleasant taste and aroma Kandela, P.

4 Tobacco Use Among Students Aged Years --- Baghdad, Iraq, % Cairo University medical students 17.6% College Athletes in the United States Pittsburgh, % college students Michigan, % of males and 52% of females reporting ever smoking tobacco using a waterpipe and 22% of males and 5% of females reporting current waterpipe smoking. Of the sample, 28% of males and 10% of females were current cigarette smokers and 25% of males and 10% of females were current marijuana users Arab American Adolescent %; it increased from 23% at 14 years to 40% at 18 years Arab American students ; water pipe smoking than cigarettes (38% vs. 22%), and more current (16% vs. 6%) and regular (7% vs. 3%) use of water pipes than cigarettes Pregnant women in Lebanon 2004,4% smoking only argileh, and 1.5% smoking both cigarette and argileh 12.9% had ever smoked shisha Baghdad, Iraq, 2008 Cairo University medical students current users of water pipe sheesha comprised 17.6% % of students at one British university were regular waterpipe smokers, students at the American University of Beirut 28.3% were current argileh smokers, average initiation age was 16 years ,652 students, Al Hassa, Saudi Arabia WP (37.4%) Worldwide,an estimated 100 million daily users Practiced by approximately 1 billion people ,430 UAE nationals aged 18 years shisha (waterpipe) (6.8%), 2010

7 A. Shihadeh. Food and Chemical Toxicology 41 (2003) A standard smoking session was defined as 100 puffs, duration 3 s, with 30 s between puffs (i.e. a cycle period of 33 s) A smoking machine was designed and smoke from an argileh fueled with charcoal and loaded with 10 g of mo assel tobacco mixture was generated using puffing parameters selected to approximate those of argileh smokers. The importance of the argileh water was tested by including a condition where no water was present in the bowl Smoking Machine Apparatus

9 2005 ma assel narghile smoke condensates Cigarette smokers typically take 8 12 puffs of ml in about 5 7 min and inhale liters of smoke WPS sessions min, puffs, intake ranging from about 0.15 to 1 liter each session The water pipe smoker may therefore inhale the equivalent of 100 or more cigarettes 100-fold more tar, 4-fold more nicotine, 11-fold more CO, and 2- to 5-fold more polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons than did a single cigarette

10 Randomized, 2 arm, Crossover study MAY 2013 Nakhla Al-Waha URINARY EXCRETION OF TOXIC SUBSTANCE BIOMARKERS 4 inpatient days & ad libitum Water pipe for a minimum of twice per day CPD number and weight of cigarettes smoked or weight of water pipe tobacco smoked, times, duration, and number of sessions >

11 2013 Smoke from water-pipes contains most of the compounds that are also present in cigarette smoke, although in different proportions More importantly, the longer duration of a WPS session leads to a much higher yield of toxic molecules than cigarette smoking We believe that current water-pipe and tobacco smoking are important risk factors in the initiation of cancer invasion and metastasis through the epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) event and deregulation of its key genes More molecular and cellular biological studies are necessary to determine the exact role of tobacco and WPS in the progression of several human carcinomas

12 Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) El-Hakim I E et al Int J Dermatol 1999; 38: Exposure to carcinogenic chemicals Mechanical trauma (irritation by the bamboo Plastic tubes used in the mouth piece) Heat generated from the smoke Chronic infection that would be associated with the use of one narghile by several individuals N.

13 2010 A significant association was found with Plaque and gingival indices Bone loss among water pipe only smokers vs. non smokers, OR rising to 7.5 (95% CI ) among heavy users Pocket depth (>10 sites with a probing depth >5mm) OR of 5.1(95% CI ) for WPS

18 Acute biologic changes that might result in marked health problems 2011

19 Several factors may explain this relatively low level of interest in quitting waterpipe use Underappreciation of adverse health effects Perceive to be less harmful to health than cigarettes (Kandela, 2000) Maassel, is aromatic and when passed through water delivers a cool, smooth smoke, making it is easy to see how such a perception could arise Social norms that support waterpipe use Perception that waterpipes are easy to quit and not addictive
