Yeah it is bad! I would keep away from it if I were you! I was addicted to it once and its terrible for your health cause you smoke it for much longer than cigs! A shisha session can last up to hour and a half! Thats a lot of smoking and god knows what kinda crap were breathing in!Shisha's becoming really popular all over the world now and scientist don;t really know the full affects of shisha yet because it aint been studied but some scientist say its worse than cigs and I might agree on that!
