Bill would make possession of hookah by minor illegal
the Legislature may soon make hookahs, water pipes or any other item used for consuming tobacco illegal for minors as well.
House Bill 2034 proposes to make it a petty offense to sell or give such an item to a minor or for a minor to buy or possess such an item. The penalty for a minor would be a $100 fine or 30 hours of community service.
Bill sponsor Rep. Kimberly Yee, R-Phoenix, said constituents asked her to propose the measure because of a growing concern with kids smoking hookahs at local cafes.
Two Shisha cafe owners in Rusholme fined for allowing customers to smoke
Two cafe owners have been fined for allowing customers to smoke shisha pipes.
Samir Merza, who runs Blue Mist, on Wilmslow Road, in Rusholme, was fined £200 with £500 costs after admitting two counts of allowing smoking in a smoke free place.
Lara Cafe Limited, the company that Blue Mist trades under, was fined a further £1,300 plus £711.71 costs after pleading guilty to the same offences. Manchester council wrote to the owners last summer warning them to stop all smoking inside the premises.
Environmental health and police officers visited the site twice in the following weeks and found customers smoking.
In another case heard by magistrates, Mathim Saleh, manager of Shotz, on the same road, was also fined £75 after pleading guilty to permitting smoking in a smoke free place.
Bill to ban e-cigarettte, hookah use in public places put on hold pending clarifications
Too many questions and concerns over a bill that would ban the smoking of e-cigarettes and hookah pipes in public places prompted a panel of lawmakers Monday to put the legislation on hold.
HB245, sponsored by Rep. Bradley Last, R-Hurricane, would amend the state's Indoor Clean Air Act to define the use electronic cigarettes and hookah pipes as smoking, therefore prohibiting their use in public places.
Public testimony before the House Government Operations Standing Committee was largely divided between the health risks of using e-cigarettes and hookah pipes and the rights of adults who are made aware of the risks to use the products.
But some lawmakers said they had reservations about a bill that would effectively put hookah bars out of business when the data over health risks is unclear. Representatives of the Huka Bar and Grill in Murray said the bill would put 90 people out of work.
Health crackdown against Birmingham shisha bar danger
A NEW crackdown against Birmingham's shisha bars is underway - with smokers unwittingly inhaling the equivalent of 100 cigarettes an hour.
Shisha pipes are deemed more harmful than cigarettes by health officials, despite myths they are safer.
On top of high tobacco levels, they can also contain lead, arsenic and carbon monoxide. The alert was triggered by reports that young Asian women were smoking shisha unaware of the harm they may be doing to their unborn child.
Dangerously high carbon monoxide readings - which can cause headaches, fainting and lack of oxygen to a foetus - were spotted in antenatal clinics across inner-city suburbs like Sparkbrook and Springfield. Now students and the Asian, Somalian and Iranian communities are being targeted in the new awareness drive.
Jacqui Kennedy, director of enforcement at Birmingham City Council, said: "Shisha is increasingly popular, predominantly in student areas because it is a social activity.
"It tastes sweet and a lot of people don't realise it contains tobacco but it can contain lead, arsenic, nicotine, heavy metals, carbon monoxide and cadmium. . . .
Shisha bars are covered by smoke free legislation, which bans smoking inside premises, but that has led to outside shelters on industrial estates and at the back of pubs and cafes.
Birmingham has 15 registered shisha premises - a five-fold increase since the smoking ban was introduced in 2007.
VIDEO: Legislature considers ban of hookah lounges, e-cigarettes
Hookah lounges and e-cigarette users could soon be going up in smoke following a proposed bill to the Utah legislature. The proposed bill has already become an early controversy for legislators on the first day of session.
House bill 245 would amend the Utah Indoor Clear Air Act to include tobacco products used in hookah pipes and electronic cigarettes, banning the use of these products in a public environment.
Since the debate over indoor hookah smoking has heated up, business is down for smoke shops and hookah lounges in the state. Opponents to the bill say hookah tobacco and e- cigarettes do not produce harmful second-hand smoke.
"If I burn a cigarette here, you can smell it from there," said Haydar Altalibi. "If I smoke (from a hookah), you behind me can't smell it."
The bill's sponsor, Rep. Bradley Last, said the science about the tobacco products has not determined whether the products are safe to use or not. . . .
However, legislators say, where there is smoke, there is probably fire.
"I think this is one of those things where we have to say, someone is inhaling nicotine and they are blowing it out in the air, even though you can't see it," Rep. Last said. "Is that a health risk we want to consider from a policy perspective?"
The ingredients of hookah tobacco are different from traditional cigarettes, with 0 percent tar and less than half of a percent of nicotine. However, the determining factor will not be what is inside the product, but what is coming out of a users' lungs and into public air.
'I don't want The Curry Mile to become The Shisha Mile': Is waterpipe smoking taking over Rusholme? : ON THE RISE: Rusholme's shisha bars are booming
Especially 'affected' seems to be Rusholme and in particular the Curry Mile where shisha bars are taking over the other outlets. A massive 30 new shisha bars have opened their doors in Rusholme in the last two years.
This trend seems to worry the council that started the new year with the determination to crack down on shisha bars in Rusholme that are taking over the other outlets.
Kate Chappell, Councillor of Rusholme Ward, believes that a good and sustainable mix of retail outlets in Rusholme would help the district to thrive. "We feel that the implosion in the number of shisha bars over recent years is to the detriment of other outlets and the overall area," she said.
Councillor Rabnawaz Akbar also expressed concerns about the cumulative effect that shisha bars are having on the area. Businesses are complaining that illegal shisha bars that are extremely profitable businesses are inflating the rents of commercial properties in the District Centre. However, it is not only the negative business impact that worries the councillors.
The Greater Manchester Police (GMP) have confiscated illegal tobacco from certain shisha bars. Others are openly breaking the indoor smoking ban. In addition to his, residents from the neighbourhood have repeatedly complained about incidents of anti-social behaviour resulting from late night visits to shisha bars.
HCMC to monitor shisha bars closely
Ho Chi Minh City authorities have asked local police and inspectors of relevant agencies to keep a close watch on bars and clubs where the hookah (usually known in Vietnam as shisha), a type of fruit-flavored, sweet-scented tobacco, is sold.
The HCMC People’s Committee, the municipal government, said more inspections and checks must be made to ensure no bars and clubs take advantage of the shisha smoking business to cover up illegal drug use and prostitution.
It also asked the HCMC Health Department to report on possible harms of shisha smoking and issue warnings about the medical damage that the tobacco can cause.
Doctors seek UAE-wide research into dangers of smoking shisha
"With the census, maybe we will be able to go ahead with our survey to detail how people smoke shisha and midwakh [a small pipe filled with dokha, an Iranian tobacco], if they smoke on a daily basis, and what the common perceptions are."
Smoking shisha remains an area of continuous interest for the Dubai Health Authority.
But the lack of an all-encompassing study has hampered its ability to assess the problems.
"We are interested in doing campaigns for teens regarding smoking and tobacco, so because of that we are interested to know more information about the levels of [consumption in] Dubai, in the UAE, as well as discovering how much [people] use shisha. But there is no study into this matter," said Dr Hanan Obaid, the head of the authority's community health services programme section.
For the time being, without solid data, doctors in the country refer to external sources.
"There is not much localised information available at the moment," said Dr Aamrah Shah, a primary care specialist at the American Hospital Dubai.
Referring to data from the UK's National Health Service, Dr Shah said that one shisha is equivalent to smoking 20 to 40 cigarettes, although this number can increase.
Nargile cafes to be closed under new law
Parliamentary Health Commission Chairman Cevdet Erdöl, the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) deputy who contributed to the “smoke-free air zone” law, has proposed a bill to Parliament demanding that nargile cafes should be closed.
If the proposal is successful, water pipes, or nargile as they are popularly known in Turkey, will be treated as tobacco products and therefore banned from indoor spaces. According to Erdöl’s proposal, companies which produce flavored tobacco for nargile will not be permitted to offer free samples of their product to nargile cafes. Businesses will also be banned from using the logos and trademarks of tobacco companies in their trading name.
Erdöl emphasised that cafes which primarily cater to nargile smokers will be closed permanently. Other businesses which offer customers the option to smoke nargile outdoors will be required to remove any references to nargile in their marketing. Businesses that break the proposed law will face a fine of between TL 50,000 and TL 250,000.
Owner of Fairfield Hookah Lounge Arrested

Shisha tobacco should be banned, doctors say: Canada urged to do more to reduce tobacco's appeal among young

Tobacco control laws should be extended to cover shisha tobacco and other products that don't fall under existing Canadian legislation, a group of doctors said Tuesday.
Physicians for a Smoke-Free Canada called on the federal government to do more to reduce the appeal of smoking, especially among young people.
In 2009, the government amended the Tobacco Act to ban the sale of mini-cigars, called cigarillos, in packages of fewer than 20, the sale of flavoured cigarillos, blunt wraps and cigarettes, and to ban print advertising of tobacco products.
Dr. Atul Kapur, president of the physicians group, said the amendments didn't go far enough and tobacco companies are taking advantage of loopholes.
Boise smoking ban may snuff hookah bars: Some smokeshops are exempt from Boise’s new ordinances but restrictions might be too stiff for the lounges to stay in business.
Ali Alsudani has been in the hookah bar business in Boise for six years, and he believes the lounges were targeted by the city’s new smoking ban.
“I came to the U.S. for freedom because in Iraq we have a dictator who tells you, ‘You can’t do this, you can’t do that,” he said.
The new Boise regulations are limiting his freedom, he said, and he plans at the end of January to relocate his Ali Baba Hookah Bar, currently on Broadway Avenue.
Two anti-smoking ordinances took effect Jan. 2, prohibiting smoking in parks, bars and varied other public spaces.
The smoking ban exempts “exclusive retail tobacconists” — businesses with sales that are 95 percent tobacco and tobacco products, with no more than four seats for customers.
Hookah bars could fall under that definition, city spokesman Adam Park said, “though perhaps on a more limited scale than they currently operate.”
Off the Hookah is ready for 2012 - Miami Day Trips
Off the Hookah stepped forward and rose up to the challenge of the first 2012 party destination.
Stepping into 'Hookah' is quite an entertaining experience. The doors are guarded by imposing looking, but well mannered and friendly doormen. Unlike regular club attendants, these men are here to allow the public access to the great hotspot behind them. An enthusiastic family will be allowed in for dinner as easily as a dressed up young woman with her club-going friends. This is not an exclusive restaurant . . .
Even with the music and high energy meant for a club, 'Hookah' also provides a nice casual relaxing experience for famalies to enjoy
Hookah bar hosts dance party : Local DJs spin for 'Boom at the Boosh'
Tarboosh, a hookah bar on Franklin Street, opened just a few months ago and is already hosting a second dance party, starting 10 p.m. Saturday. Owned by Fatah Hantouli and Hisham Dhair, both Jerusalem natives, Tarboosh offers 25 flavors of shisha (tobacco) and many Mediterranean dishes.
The idea for holding events at Tarboosh sprouted from three loyal customers. W. Alexander Elliott, Kara Jensen and Jenna Perry had an epiphany one night while relaxing and enjoying Tarboosh's Turkish coffee. They decided the hookah bar would be a perfect place to set up DJs and have an event.

The report on shisha cafes flouting the age limit is just one part of the whole picture ('Many shisha cafes in Abu Dhabi flouting age limit for smokers', Gulf News, January 10). The problem is not only shisha or the age limits in cafes but smoking in general. This habit is quite common in universities, schools and offices. Smoking cigarettes is the bigger picture and it is so widespread that special areas are even provided for smokers in the vicinity of these institutions. I believe smoking should be banned not only for teenagers but for people of all ages because they are not only harming themselves, which might not concern anyone but them, but they are committing a crime by creating second-hand smoke . . .
My brother and his friends once saw a family in a cafe who let their 12-year-old son smoke a full shisha on his own. When they told the waiters about this both the family and managers of the cafe didn't listen -- it is unbelievable.
I am a smoker but I know the harms of smoking and my limitations. Most smokers don't even know the risks of shisha -- a campaign should be started to educate the public.
