Yeah I saw that too. Another group of researchers completely debunked it. If the shisha was BURNED, yes, maybe that might be true, but when smoking it properly with a hookah, it is instead HEATED, meaning there is zero tar content. Semantics, right?
Interesting though, since Egypt is one of the countries where shisha is very widely smoked.
