Yes: Well, you can pass out from smoking hookah for the first time but that is anybody not experienced with smoking (anything) or those with circulatory or respiratory conditions. However, it is unlikely that just having diabetes type 1 will cause adverse events when smoking a hookah unless your blood sugars are not controlled.
