Abstract
Abstract
Rates of waterpipe use increase with very little data reporting any potential health consequences. The current study, a large case–control study, of 4,194 patients from Iran denotes an elevated risk of bladder cancer in exclusive waterpipe smokers compared with non-users. Additional studies are needed to further understand the risk waterpipe smoking has on bladder cancer.
