E-hookahs, also known as electronic hookahs, are a type of electronic cigarette that aims to simulate the experience of smoking a traditional hookah. They typically consist of a rechargeable battery, a heating element, and a flavored cartridge that contains a liquid solution, usually made of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavorings, and sometimes nicotine. When the user inhales on the device, the heating element vaporizes the liquid solution, producing a flavored vapor that is inhaled.
E-hookahs are marketed as a safer alternative to traditional hookahs, as they do not produce smoke or ash, and the liquid solution used in the cartridges is typically less harmful than the tobacco used in traditional hookahs. However, it's important to note that e-hookahs still contain nicotine and other chemicals, and the long-term health effects of using e-hookahs are not yet known.
Overall, while e-hookahs may be a less harmful option compared to traditional hookahs, it is still recommended to use caution and consult with a healthcare professional before using any type of electronic nicotine delivery system.
