Diabetes assessment for "Shisha" – statement

A study by experts from the British School of Medicine in Brighton and Susbad found that shisha not only destroys the airways but can also cause diabetes, obesity and other serious illnesses, according to the Arabic Net website. The researchers found that people who smoke shisha are more likely than non-smokers to develop type 2 diabetes. An inhalation session of shisha is far worse than smoking a pack of cigarettes.

The study, published by the Daily Mail and Telegraph daily, included a sample of 9840 participants, including Professor Gordon Verne, who confirmed that a shisha smoking session was equivalent to smoking a whole pack of cigarettes.
