Hookah, increasingly popular among young people and urban populations, is a traditional tobacco smoking tool with a long history. Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning associated with hookah use is rare. We present a case of CO intoxication following hookah smoking to emphasize that hookah, often misperceived as less harmful than cigarettes, can cause life-threatening poisoning and to highlight preventive measures against its widespread use. Our case is an 18-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with dizziness after smoking hookah. Initial laboratory tests revealed a Carboxyhemoglobine (COHb) level of 41.3%. She was referred for hyperbaric oxygen therapy and subsequently discharged. Two days later, she was admitted to our department as a forensic case. Although hookah use originates from traditional practices, its global prevalence is rapidly increasing, particularly among adolescents and young adults, posing a significant public health concern. Awareness that hookah is not a safe alternative to cigarettes is crucial. We suggest reinforcing public education, implementing stricter enforcement of indoor tobacco bans, and raising awareness about the risks of hookah to reduce its harmful effects and prevent further cases of CO intoxication.
