Shisha Smokers: This UAE Company Claims Their New ‘Misting Pipe’ Is Less Harmful

Shisha is quite popular in the middle-east, and every occasion calls for it. Though it is less harmful than smoking cigarettes in its own way and if done regularly it can be harmful, this UAE company claims to have the solution. Medad Technology claims that its Nesta pipe uses ultrasonic vibrations to provide a nicotine hit, potentially reducing the risk of cancer from inhaling hazardous vapours. The unique algorithm in the gadget creates equally distributed nicotine mist particles when they are inhaled.

This week at the World Vape Show in Dubai World Trade Centre, the smoking pipe was revealed. The company says that because no charcoal or tobacco is burned, there are no dangerous carbon emissions or toxic fumes inhaled by users of classic hookah pipes. “The challenge was to develop real, alternative products that were safer than shisha and e-cigarettes, not categorised under vaping, so a completely new product,” said Mohammed Al Mazrouei, chief executive of Medad Holding, which is based in Dubai with its R&D facility in Abu Dhabi. “Our aim was to completely transform the health of users, so we had to move away from smoke.”
