Q: Me and my friends smoke a hookah every friday. I wanted to know how bad is it? Is it worse than a cigarette? I don't smoke cigarettes. So how bad is it for my voice? For my health? We smoke only tobaccos.

A: It's better for you than cigarettes, but you should already know that smoking anything is not good. It does harm your lungs. But it doesn't have the harsh chemicals in it that cigarettes do.
