Why should you not smoke hookah during pregnancy?

With every puff of hookah, you ingest harmful substances and nicotine that are potentially carcinogenic and have an impact on your body and that of your unborn child. In worse cases, ingesting shisha tobacco can even lead to the baby's development being affected and the pregnancy being at risk. Nicotine can be addictive to both you and your unborn baby, tar and benzene both pose health risks, and carbon monoxide is absorbed even more when smoking a hookah than with cigarettes.  It is a risk to smoke even occasionally, as the possible harmful effects cannot be reversed. You and your baby's well-being should always be the top priority. Therefore, it is important to think carefully about whether it is worth taking the risks of hookah smoking during pregnancy. Passive smoking can cause just as much harm to your baby as active smoking. That's why when your friends get together to smoke, you should either not participate or ask them to meet in a place far enough away to avoid exposure to smoke. If you think that smoking hookah after giving birth will not affect your baby, we are sorry to disappoint you. Hookah smoking and breastfeeding are not compatible, just like smoking during pregnancy. The toxic fumes you ingest through hookah can also be passed on to your child through your breast milk. Therefore, it is advisable to refrain from smoking hookah at least until the child is no longer breastfed to ensure optimal protection.
