Think smoking ho**ah or va**ng looks cool? It’s worth knowing what it actually does to your body.

*Ho**ah / Sh**ha dangers:*
- *Not safer than ci******es*: A 1-hour ho**ah session = smoking about 100 ci******es in terms of smoke volume. You inhale way more tar, carbon monoxide, and heavy metals.
- *Ni****ne addiction*: The to***co in sh**ha has ni****ne. You can get hooked fast, even if you only do it “socially.”
- *Lung & heart damage*: Carbon monoxide from the charcoal reduces oxygen in your blood. Long-term use raises risk of lung cancer, bronchitis, heart disease, and stroke.
- *Infections*: Sharing a mouthpiece spreads TB, herpes, hepatitis, and other respiratory infections. The water doesn’t filter germs.
- *Secondhand smoke*: People around you breathe in the same toxic chemicals and CO.

*V**e / E-cigarette dangers:*
- *Still ni****ne*: Most v**es contain ni****ne, often at higher concentrations than ci******es. It’s highly addictive and harms teen brain development - affects memory, focus, and mood control.
- *Lung injury*: “Popcorn lung” and EVALI cases have been linked to chemicals like diacetyl and Vitamin E acetate in v**e juice. Causes coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath.
- *Toxic chemicals*: Heated v**e liquid releases formaldehyde, acrolein, and heavy metals like nickel and lead from the coil. None of that belongs in your lungs.
- *Heart risk*: Ni****ne spikes blood pressure and heart rate. Raises long-term risk of heart disease.

*Bottom line*: Both hit your lungs, heart, and brain. The “cool” factor fades, but the addiction and health effects stick around.

Before addiction… there’s a beginning.

A moment.
A decision.
An environment that didn’t feel dangerous.

That’s where prevention matters most.

Be part of the solution.
