Tobacco is Tobacco: Experts suggest that there is no difference between smoking tobacco through a hookah or through a cigarette. Both are detrimental to your health.

Just as dangerous: Just as dangerous, and maybe more. You get more nicotine from a hookah than from a cigarette. The smoke has higher amounts of heavy metals and carbon monoxide because of the charcoal. 45 minutes on a hookah and you get the tar of 20 cigarettes. You inhale more smoke in bigger quantities.
