E-heated hookah tobacco kills 70% more lung cells: Study
A US-based study on heating the same hookah tobacco with traditional charcoal and electric heat source found charcoal killed 10% of human lung cells while the latter killed 80% within 48 hours. Researchers said that the e-heating released higher hydrocarbons as it constantly heated the tobacco at higher temperatures while charcoal cooled down after every inhalation from the hookah pipe.
