ABSTRACT
Urinary levels of nicotine metabolites were measured in nonsmokers and of tobacco either as cigarettes or as the middle eastern water pipes [narguila]. Levels of urinary cotinine were similar for the smokers of cigarettes [median 30 cigarettes per day] and narguila [median 2 pipes per day, or around 40 grams of tobacco]. Use of water pipes may remove a small amount of nicotine, but smokers appear to titrate dose to effect. It is unlikely that narguila smoking confers any less risk
