Knishkowy, MD, MPH, Barry, and Yona Amitai, MD, MPH. “Water-Pipe (Narghile) Smoking: An Emerging Health Risk Behavior.” PEDIATRICS 116 (2005): e113-e116. Print. This informative journal article written by two medical doctors discusses the history, use, and health risks of water-pipe smoking. The article is well crafted and provides a plethora of useful information regarding the revival of hookah smoking around the world. It is written from the prospective of professionals and is unbiased. The health risks involved with narghile smoke is shown and supported with discussion about the content of the tobacco. My research essay can strongly be supported by the facts in this article relating to the popularity associated with water-pipe smoking as well as the statistics shown on health issues that arise from narghile smoke.

  1. Sounds like it could be a helpful article, but you don't go into any specifics about how you could use it to support what you're going to say in your essay. Can you give any specific examples of how the information in it could be used to your advantage?
