Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Toxicology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Shisha (waterpipe) smoking has become a global trend among adolescents since the 1990s.
  • Despite its social image, shisha smoke contains dangerous toxic substances.

Observation:

  • A 13-year-old boy experienced severe carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning after smoking shisha.
  • The poisoning resulted in loss of consciousness and seizure.

Findings:

  • Carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to serious neurological and neuropsychological issues, including memory loss and mood disorders.
  • This case represents, to our knowledge, the first reported instance of severe CO poisoning in a child due to shisha use.

Implications:

  • Adolescent shisha use requires urgent public health attention due to severe toxicity risks.
