A member asked:
What are my chances to get cancer if i smoked hookah for 8 months once a week (with friends so not all the hookah), and stopped a year ago ?

Very low: But it is great that you are aware of the dangers of smoking. In general, and the correlation with cancer. The longer the exposure more risk not only with cancer induction, but with cardiovascular disease, etc.
