Yes: Any "addiction" is by definition harmful to your life because it dominates your life. It becomes more important than your relationships, work, and other social functioning. I don't know what you're smoking in your hookah other than a form of tobacco -- but if powered by coal, you're for sure exposing yourself to toxic chemicals. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hookah/an01265.
