Some people call it shisha and to some it is known as hookah. Could not take a lot of photo because I do not want to be rude. Actually, I do not really bother about people smoking shisha. It is their life and it is up to them to live it. Mind you that shisha is dangerous.
But what shocked me was most of the shisha puffers there were teenagers. A group of young teens, including girls, inhaling the flavoured smoke and passing them around while laughing their heads off. Why are they here? I mean I'm not against having a good time but shouldn't they be doing something more beneficial?
The flavoured tobacco, kinda disgusting eh?They say it is one of their past time activity. WTH? What happened to watching movies or collecting stamp? Do their parents even know that they are here.
For a session of shisha-smoking, the amount usually charged is between RM10 and RM15. Shame on the shop owner for selling it to underage customers.
What happen to the TAK NAK program? Does it only apply to cigarettes and not other tobacco products?
They thought that shisha is actually safe because they believe that the water filter inside the shisha can actually filter all the nasty stuff.
"The water filter is a gimmick. Most of the toxic chemicals and nicotine are not water-soluble. Hence, they pass through the filter and is inhaled by a smoker, although other irritant substances, which are water-soluble, will get filtered."
Kuala Lumpur health department deputy head Dr Sellehudin Abu Bakar
You should see the look of this teenagers. So proud of what they are doing in public. Not even ashamed. Sad really.
He is having a good time. LolHope someone will do something to prevent these teenagers from indulging themselves in this harmful activity.
