【 摘 要 】

Waterpipe (WP) smoking has rapidly grown in popularity in the United States andother Western countries with the fastest uptake among younger individuals. Thisgrowth has been encouraged by the misperception that WP smoke is harmless orless harmful than cigarette smoke. To better understand how WP affects the healthof young people, we conducted a narrative review of the literature focusing onthe adverse health effects of WP smoking in adolescents and younger adults. Wesearched scientific literature databases including PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE,and ISI Web and selected papers that met the inclusion criteria. Sixty-three papersmet the inclusion criteria and were selected for review. Data were abstracted fromthe selected papers into a standardized table. The evidence demonstrates that WPsmoking can cause acute lung infection and injury, and carbon monoxide (CO)poisoning, in adolescents and young adults. It is also associated with adversesubclinical effects in this sub-population, including oral and systemic genotoxicity, lung function decline, and the alteration ofvascular and hemodynamic functions. Limited evidence that is available indicatesassociations with psychological and neurological effects and asthma. No identifiedpublications examined the association between WP use and type 2 diabetes, acondition that is associated with cigarette smoking among young people. WPsmoking by younger individuals can result in their hospitalization due to systemicCO poisoning and acute lung disease, and induce subclinical adverse effects inthe oral cavity, pulmonary system, and in circulation, that are involved in thepathogenesis of local and systemic chronic diseases.
