The dangers of shisha

Shisha cafés are multiplying, sometimes it seems hard to find a café in parts of London that doesn't offer shisha pipes.

So I was intrigued to learn that

'Smoking shisha poses the same health risks and diseases associated with cigarette smoking but can be more damaging as smokers typically use shisha over a longer time period.

A one-hour shisha session is reported to provide the same amount of toxins as between 100 and 200 cigarettes.'

Per http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/10273402.Warning_to_parents_over_teenagers_visiting_Blackburn_shisha_cafe/

Should shisha cafés be more controlled or is it Islamophobia to even think that?
