Some People Say You are Critical of Junk Research on Hookah (Shisha, Narghile) Smoking Because You Have Commercial Interests in Patents, etc. Is This True?
Of course not. We work with our brains only. Contrary to our foes, we never received and we don’t receive money: -neither from Big Tobacco (cigarette companies), scared by the crowds of teenagers flocking toward the “bubbling rival” (according to our friend Raven) -nor from Big Pharma (Pharmaceutical industry of nicotine patches and gums…) which finances about 80% of the studies in the field of tobacco research. Note also that for Big Pharma, the weird and peculiar dependence in hookah smokers is a vexing problem… -nor from the national Public Health authorities (particularly in the USA, Oceania and Europe) who found in the hookah (narghile, shisha) “epidemic” the ideal scapegoat for their failure (despite their repeated celebrations of the World No-Tobacco Day) in preventing tobacco (mainly cigarette) use among teenagers. We were the first, 10 years ago, to recommend to public health authorities the development of harm reduction techniques in order to avoid (mainly) carbon monoxid
