A member asked:

Does hookah pen lower your immune system and make you more susceptible to diseases?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No evidence: you have nicotine only and I am aware of no evidence that this has a immunological effect. However the nicotine has other effects on the blood vessels to your heart and brain. It is safest to abstain
