By cooking the shisha tobacco rather than burning it and then filtering the smoke through the Ayara Activated Carbon Hookah Filter, we now know that using Kaloud products can significantly reduce physiological harm caused by smoking Hookah compared to a traditional hookah (charcoal on foil with a base and stem system).

As you review these results, it is important to remember that the gasses in Hookah smoke and cigarette smoke are very different. While a Hookah session will typically produce significantly more gas (smoke) than one cigarette, the gas volume is not necessarily an indicator of the harm being caused. In other words, based on our testing, we believe that a cigarette produces significantly more harmful smoke than a Hookah paired with a Kaloud Lotus Heat Management Device and Ayara Activated Carbon Hookah Filter, and this is especially true for a Krysalis Eltheria.

We ask that you do not, in any way, read these results as a claim that our products, or any product for that matter, will make smoking healthy. We can say, however, that we believe when our products are used properly they will lead to a significantly less harmful experience. Please remember that smoking is harmful, and though we believe our products reduce the harm associated with Hookah smoke, all kinds of smoking, including vaping, have been shown to cause physiological damage.

With that being said, we are profoundly pleased to share the results of testing we paid to do with an accredited laboratory in Germany over the course of several months.

We are committed to cooperating with any other labs or educational institutions that are interested in testing our products and validating or challenging our results. Please contact us for details. (Only accredited labs and institutions please).
