Résumé :
When mouthpieces of Hookah pipes are shared the risk of getting colds, viruses, oral bacteria infections, and other communicable diseases like tuberculosis is increased. Researchers say that second-hand smoke and the spread of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and herpes make hookah use a growing public health concern. More research is needed to identify the relationship of the transmission of TB and Hookah bars. (Extract of the publication)
