Hookah more harmful than cigarettes 60 times!

Egyptian scientists have proved that smoking a hookah is comparable to three packs of cigarettes.
Previously it was believed that tobacco smoke in a hookah is less harmful than tobacco, as well as time to cool down in the water. However, the team of Egyptian doctors and engineers decided to see whether this really is. For this, they constructed a special device. It consists of a cylinder whose volume equals the volume of human lungs. Inside it moves the piston to simulate inhalation and exhalation of tobacco smoke. After a full cycle of the piston in the apparatus is so harmful, how much accumulates in the lungs of a smoker. The results were disappointing. Studies have shown that smoking hookah tobacco normal servings (25 grams) can be equated to 60 cigarettes.
