All in all, there is a need to address the issue of shisha smoking as it is becoming a disturbing habit among the younger generation. This means this generation is faced with one more health threat on top of those already arising due to stressful lifestyles. Ultimately, shisha smoking poses a great risk to all those who partake, but the younger generation are most affected as it is their lives that will be cut short, dramatically affecting the demographics of Saudi Arabia, which is an issue that requires urgent attention due to its impact on various aspects of Saudi society and the economy.
