Which is healthier: Hookahs or cigarettes?

Where I live, Hookah bars are lined up out the door on a Friday or Saturday night. The Indian practice of smoking from a Hookah is really trendy recently, and though I'm not a smoker, I can see the appeal -- hanging out in a Middle Eastern-themed cafe is at least something different from the usual bar scene here. Besides, it's not like sitting in a smoky bar; at a Hookah bar, the smoke smells nicer, and it's less invasive.
Fitsugar recently did a post on which is more detrimental to your health -- smoking from a hookah or smoking cigarettes. The surprising answer? Hookahs are worse for you, because not only does the smoke have the same amount of chemicals and nicotine, but those who smoke it are likely to smoke much more -- up to the equivalent of 400 cigarettes in one night. Good grief!
So the moral of the story? Don't get too into the Hookah scene -- it can be harmful to your health. And even though you're not smoking cigarettes, you're still doing yourself just as much harm with the Hookah.
