I smoke a narghile, and only about once every 4 or 5 weeks; the effect 
is just about the same as 3-4 glasses of strong red-wine without the 
headache later on. Medical research has shown that owing to the water 
filtration of the tobacco smoke it has the same negative health effects 
if smoked for 3 hours non-stop as 1 normal cigarette.
