MY response to news that a third of Blackburn teenagers have smoked shisha is: Why do kids want to? Do they think it won’t cause them any harm? Surely they must know it’s as bad or even worse than regular tobacco smoking. I can’t understand why, with all the health warnings regarding smoking, kids want to try it, especially as they don’t seem to be taking up smoking cigarettes, pipes or hand-rolling tobacco.

If it’s allowed to carry on, the next generation are going to become a bigger statistic than today’s current smokers.
