So my brother has asthma. I know the answer is hookah is bad for you, but is hookah better than smoking cigarettes?

I don't do either, but I saw on his IG Stories that he was out with his friends. I don't know if he was hookah-ing but I know other people were. What are the effects for him? Does it make it worse? Or is it like vaping? (Also, is that bad? He told me it wasn't...)

Hi @OliviaL

Thank you for getting this conversation started!

Let me ask the Carenity community for their experiences with smoking cigarettes vs smoking hookah and asthma.

@Chealynn08 @SallySteur @lucyjohnson @Jrzcoffeegal01 @Susamkietponglert @sandraheard @Stewgirl @jmcallegan @kskbkb @Carmie @Dwilson4421 @Loweschick @GGopon @Dada2115 @Jamessmith @Elroy123 @Rileeb @Jérémyy @jasm10 @shygiii5 @Pamcox @Breatherightnow @Bmpenner06 @Susan70 @Vriley @McCord @CourtneyJohnson @emilie

Do you or have you ever smoked cigarettes? What about hookah? Does it affect your asthma? Instantly or does it build over time?

Please share your insights!

Take care,

Lizzi from the Carenity team
