Hundreds of youngsters are prime victims of a new tobacco product ‘sheesha’ as almost all hotels and restaurants are offering its smoking in twin cities despite ban on smoking at public places.
Unfortunately, most users of ‘sheesha’ are unaware of the fact that this modern smoking contains all intoxicants that tobacco has and is more injurious than cigarettes.
The prime victims of ‘sheesha’ culture are young people who use it for fun and consider it a status symbol.
According to World Health Organisation (WHO), ‘sheesha’ contains all intoxicants that a cigarette contains and actually it multiplies the hazards of tobacco. According to a latest field survey carried out by The Network for Consumer Protection in twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, the restaurants and bars not only offer this tobacco product as a recreational group activity and a fashion but also clearly defy the Prohibition of Smoking in Enclosed Places and Protection of Non-Smokers Health Ordinance 2002.
Using ‘sheesha’ for one hour is equal to consuming 100 cigarettes with the smoke produced by a ‘sheesha’ contains a high level of toxins, including carbon monoxide, heavy metals and other carcinogens.
A similar hazard is posed to other people who are not directly using ‘sheesha’ by means of passive smoking. It is indeed said that in spite of an ordinance in place, which enforces a complete ban on smoking in public places, many restaurants offer ‘sheesha’ to their customers.

Comments Welcome!!!
But, Babar defending Rehman Malik, said when the jubilant crowd stopped the car
of Benazir Bhutto, Rehman was quite upset as he said this was not the right
approach and Ms Bhutto should simply go home as there could be some trouble.
Likewise, he said, we both were talking on the telephones and at one point
we both realised that if our telephones were operating inside the car, it meant
that the jammers were not working properly. That created a panic and Rehman
immediately picked up his cell phone and started contacting the IGP and the Home
Department to know why the jammers were not working properly when Ms Bhutto was
travelling towards Islamabad.
