[Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs] Hookahs Aren’t ‘Safer’ Smoking By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs When Gomez (John Astin) and Morticia (Caroline Jones) Addams settled in for a shared hookah session in the 1965 "The Addams Family Meets the Undercover Man" episode of their TV show, it seemed exotic and daring.

Another study evaluated the relative risks of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer from smoking tobacco cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and hookahs. The findings took our breath away. The research, published in the European Heart Journal, found that compared with nonsmokers, tobacco cigarettes increased the risk of COPD by 704%, waterpipes by 218%, and e-cigarettes by 194%. When it came to lung cancer, tobacco cigarettes blew up the risk by an astounding 1,210% and waterpipes increased the risk of lung cancer by 122%. Then there's the finding, published in the journal Nicotine & Tobacco Research, that if you get COVID-19 and are a smoker, it nearly doubles your risk of progression to serious complications. Clearly, there's no way to get around the dangers of smoking tobacco. But you can successfully quit.
