"Smoking hookah," otherwise known as inhaling flavored tobacco product through a hose affixed to an elaborate water pipe, is growing in popularity, particularly among Florida high school students. Moreover, it's increasing in popularity among Hispanic Florida high school students. The habit is replacing the trend of traditional cigarette usage, and has become a favorite among teenage boys and teenage girls. The Florida Youth Tobacco Survey has indicated that the rate at which teenage girls smoke hookah has caught up to boys. Hispanic teens are leading that trend, as they are most likely to try and then continue the habit.

Is there any way to combat this behavior?
