Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. Smoking hookah results in smoking tobacco and tobacco is known to cause significant blow to health. Tobacco is known to cause malignancy in lungs, pharynx and a lot of other organs. You have been smoking hookah since long and I would advise you to stop smoking it again. If you have any doubt regarding the lesion in mouth then get it checked again. Try to avoid smoking in future.

Hope this helps you. Thanks and Take care
