Twenty-nine of these women (۸۵%) still smoked waterpipe tobacco at the time of thestudy, while five of them had ceased HTS. The remaining eight participants were two mothers, onegirlfriend, and one boyfriend, two male hookah tobacco smokers who worked in hookah bars, onefemale teacher, and a male smoking control staff. The study participants described the varioussociocultural factors contributing to HTS.
