A moda entre os jovens que pode ser muito pior do que o cigarro

forma de consumo, incapaz de fazer mal, Tratamento dos Vícios,

The smell like gum, mint and chocolate is perceived in the environment. The feeling is not that you are smoking tobacco, but an innocent essence, incapable of doing harm . This is the impression that a person who uses a narghile has, a kind of water pipe of oriental origin, which is used to smoke flavored tobacco.

“The attractions are essentially the aromas, the pleasant flavors and the sharing between friends or new partners, which enchants teenagers, pre-adolescents and even children. But as it is used for a longer period than cigarettes, inhaling substances toxic substances is much higher. In this way, the possibility of users developing respiratory and heart diseases and cancer is enormous”, explains pulmonologist Jose Miguel Chatkin .

There are still users who exchange tobacco for marijuana and the water that cools the smoke for alcoholic beverages, such as vodka, to enhance the effect of hookah. “Because it even contains charcoal, the indiscriminate use of other substances or added liquids, the carbon monoxide in its smoke is also higher. The tobacco used for this form of consumption is also not standardized, so it contains a greater amount of nicotine than cigarettes”, adds pulmonologist Maria Clara da Costa e Silva Pinto.

In addition to the risks that smoking can cause, there is still the possibility of transmission of infectious diseases, such as herpes and tuberculosis, by sharing the hookah cigarette holder, and respiratory diseases by passive smoking.

“But everyone does”

Have you ever noticed how fads among youth almost always have a negative consequence? This is the case with the use of hookah, the “Blue Whale” game, among others. Being inconsequential seems to be a characteristic present in most of them. With the intention of following friends, being accepted by a group, out of curiosity or to have new experiences, they accept doing things without thinking about the negative results they will have. “The inconsequential do not worry about their choices, about tomorrow. Easily goes through the heads of others, likes to try everything that is different and learn from their own mistakes. He only thinks about today and the now, which is why he always fails”, says writer Cristiane Cardoso.

The heart is corrupt. From him proceed evil desires and thoughts, as the Bible says in Mark 7:20-23 . But it is possible to master it when we put the mind above feelings.
