References
,Introduction
The prevalence of smoking, particularly among young people, has taken various forms in recent
years, including traditional hubbly bubbly (hookah) and modern vaping. This assessment explores
the distinctions between these two popular methods of smoking, highlighting their unique
characteristics and the factors contributing to their appeal among youth. Additionally, it addresses
common misconceptions surrounding hubbly smoking as identified by The Cancer Association of
South Africa, offering critical insights into the dangers associated with this practice. Finally, the
assessment outlines the significant health risks and conditions linked to smoking, underscoring the
urgent need for awareness and education regarding these habits.
SECTION A – CONTENT
1 What is the difference between hubbly bubbly and vape smoking?
Hubbly bubbly, also known as hookah, involves inhaling flavored tobacco smoke that is passed
through water in a device before being consumed. The tobacco used in hubbly is often mixed with
molasses or fruit flavors, resulting in a sweet aroma and taste. In contrast, vape smoking utilizes
electronic devices that vaporize a liquid (e-liquid) containing nicotine, flavorings, and other
, chemicals. While both methods can produce pleasurable flavors and social experiences, they differ
fundamentally in their composition, delivery systems, and the substances inhaled.
2 In your opinion, what makes smoking hubbly and vaping more appealing to young people?
The allure of hubbly and vaping among young people can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the
social aspect of both practices creates a communal experience, making them popular choices for
social gatherings and parties. Secondly, the variety of flavors available in both hubbly and e-liquids
appeals to young taste preferences, making the act of smoking seem more enjoyable. Lastly, the
perception of these smoking methods as trendy and modern can enhance their appeal, often leading
young individuals to view them as less harmful alternatives to traditional cigarette smoking.
3 Name three myths about hubbly smoking that are mentioned by The Cancer Association of South
Africa and state why and how these are untrue.
One prevalent myth is that hubbly smoking is safer than cigarette smoking due to the water filtration
process. However, research indicates that water does not effectively remove harmful chemicals from
the smoke, meaning smokers are still exposed to dangerous substances. Another myth is the belief
that hubbly smoking does not cause addiction; in reality, the tobacco used contains nicotine, which
is highly addictive, similar to traditional cigarettes. Lastly, some believe that the flavored tobacco
used in hubbly is harmless; however, many flavorings contain toxic substances that can lead to
serious health issues. These myths contribute to a dangerous underestimation of the risks associated
with hubbly smoking.
4 Name some health risks or conditions that smokers expose themselves to?
Smokers of hubbly and vapes are at risk for a variety of health issues. These include respiratory
problems such as chronic bronchitis and reduced lung function due to the inhalation of toxic
substances. There is also an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and
strokes, as both hubbly and vaping can adversely affect blood circulation. Additionally, smokers may
face a heightened risk of developing cancers, particularly lung cancer, due to the carcinogenic
compounds found in the smoke and vapor. These health risks emphasize the critical need for public
health initiatives to educate young people about the dangers of smoking in all forms.
