Depends: Depends upon what you are smoking. In general hookah smoking with standard preparations is not immediately harmful to health.

Yes: Not tomorrow. But messing with that stuff will get you addicted before you even realize what's happening. You'll lose your freedom, then your health, and then very likely your life. Don't let these bastards get you hooked just so they can make money. Walk away.

Per the Mayo Clinic:: "Hookah smoke contains high levels of toxic compounds, including tar, carbon monoxide, heavy metals & cancer-causing chemicals (carcinogens). In fact, hookah smokers are exposed to more carbon monoxide & smoke than are cigarette smokers." REF: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/quit-smoking/expert-answers/hookah/faq-20057920. Per Dr. T Hays- “Hookah smoking is not safer than cigarettes"
