> Jewish Telegraph (August, 9, 2007)
Nargila craze danger to youth. "[...] But [Dr Kamal T.C.] criticised the WHO study, claiming it contained "multiple errors". He said: "The study's bibliographical references dismiss relevant studies. The study also contains many errors, including biomedical, sociological, anthropological and historical." [Dr Kamal T.C.]’s aim was not to claim that nargila smoking is safe or healthy, but to improve the WHO's study. He acknowledges that he "shares the same health concerns stemming from the growing use of nargila in the world".
* Has the Nargila craze spread to other British Jewish communities or do you know anyone affected by it? Phone Robert Clayton on 0161 741 2631. Telephone the office 0161 740 9321 to order a back copy

However, There are still ignorant or stubborn people citing that report, prepared by the same "medical experts [who] agree that hookah smoking is as dangerous, if not more dangerous than cigarette smoking [and]. "Throughout their research they dispelled four common myths of why hookah smoking is considered safer"... (Mike Lycklama)We never pretended to tell you the whole "Truth" about hookah smoking but the author of the above story does probably because he saw the Light and will now help you bash not less than 4 myths about it...

Hello Genevieve. It's Bernie from the Orchid Recovery Center for Women Drug and Alcohol Recovery Program. I want to thank you for linking to our treatment resource site Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation for Women (Orchid Recovery Center) and I want you to know that I very much admire the way in which you provide a completely objective, comprehensive, and historically accurate history of the hookah. Your willingness and dedication to providing honest, unbiased, and objective resources and articles like this one is wonderful, the information you provide is very informative, and I again thank you personally and on behalf of our organization for adding us to your resources to make the internet a better place for everyone. I would also like to draw your attention to my personal blog Drug Treatment, Alcohol Rehab, Chemical Dependency Rehabilitation, and Women's Recovery as another resource for your visitors and a forum in which individuals in recovery from drug addiction and alcohism, individuals who seek help with such issues, and those who don't and just want a forum in which to be able to discuss anything regarding health, for example smoking patterns and history of the hookah and sometimes public misconception regarding such types of objects and their relationship to drug use - for no reason other than a lack of objective and accurate resources like yours being prolific enough on the internet for proper education, and anything else that is on their mind - to have a voice, much the same as what you do with your website and blog. I would be honored if you would consider adding that blog, and the Orchid Recovery Center (as you did on your main website) to your links.
Many Blessings
Namaste,
Happy Holidays,
Happy New Year,
And again, thank you
