Understanding Different Forms of Tobacco: From Bidis to Hookah

This overview explores various types of tobacco products, including Bidis, dissolvable tobacco, e-cigarettes, and hookah. Bidis are high-tar cigarettes with significant health risks and a lack of warnings on many products sold in the U.S. Dissolvable tobacco, often candy-flavored, poses risks of oral cancer, particularly among youth. E-cigarettes offer a modern alternative with various flavors and discreet usage. Hookah, with a rich cultural history, provides a communal smoking experience that lasts over 40 minutes. Understanding these products aids in recognizing their health implications.
