Shisha use in the UK

Shisha smoking is on the rise in the UK, especially among young adults, many of whom mistakenly believe that it’s less harmful than cigarettes.

Nearly one in 10 people aged between 18 and 24 have tried it and are often unaware of the scale of the health risks.

Shisha, also known as hookah, hubble-bubble and narghile, is a mixture of fruit-flavoured tobacco and molasses that’s smoked through a water pipe.

Health implications of shisha

Shisha exposes smokers to harmful toxins like carbon monoxide, nicotine, and tar. In a typical session lasting an hour, a shisha smoker will inhale far more smoke than from a cigarette, raising the risk of lung cancer, heart disease, and other complications.

Helping shisha smokers make healthier choice

This simple-to-understand, engaging awareness resource is ideal for shisha smokers and people who need to know more about it.

It contains information on both the immediate and long-term effects of shisha use, including the following:

  • Increased heart rate and blood pressure
  • Risk of cancer and respiratory diseases
  • Danger of second-hand smoke, especially for children
  • Risk of infectious diseases like herpes, TB, and hepatitis from shared pipes

This resource is ideal for drug and alcohol services, clinics, smoking cessation programmes, and community health centres.

Some street drugs have been contaminated with the synthetic opioids fentanyl and nitazenes. These include heroin, illicit Oxycodone pills, Xanax powders, and synthetic cannabis (spice). 

Fentanyl and nitazenes are much stronger than heroin and have led to increased deaths caused by overdose.

This resource provides users with the following essential information on how to recognise and respond to potential opiate overdoses, with a particular focus on harm reduction:

Cover and inside pages of skunk harm reduction booklet. Cover show a bag of skunk cannabis. Inside pages shows a cannabis plant

Increasingly, cannabisis consumed in herbal rather than resin form. Over the last 30 years, it's been the most used illegal drug in England and Wales. The most recent UK figures (taking us to March 2023) suggest just over 2.6 million adults aged 16 to 59 used cannabis in the last year. The actual figure is probably much higher.

The information in this booklet will help cannabis users understand:

  • what herbal cannabis is
  • active ingredients and potency/strength of cannabis
  • cannabis and mental health
  • the warning signs of developing a problem
  • reducing the risks
  • how to cut down or stop
  • cannabis and the law
