Hookah smoking use prevention
Many Arabs smoke using an argileh or hookah pipe and convince themselves that it is better and safer than cigarettes and thus, smoke it all the more.
Thankfully, it looks like the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services, or ACCESS, is going to do something to decrease the ignorance surrounding the hookah and its health detriments.
On their website, ACCESS states: In an effort to educate the public on the dangers of Argileh (water pipe, hookah) smoking and mobilize the community into action, ACCESS will host a forum entitled “Argileh Use Prevention: Challenges and Opportunities” on Thursday, August 13, 2009.
For more information or to RSVP, please contact Dina Ayna at argilehforum@accesscommunity.org or call (313) 216-2233.
