Janet Mbugua explains why she stopped smoking shisha

Janet Mbugua used to be a smoker but she stopped it anyway. The former Citizen TV anchor recently explained to her fans why she quit her smoking habit.

Scientists say a habitual shisha smoker might breathe in much more poisonous fumes during an hour-long session than a typical cigarette smoker inhales in a few days.

Apparently shisha smoking can be as damaging, addictive, and dangerous as cigarettes, because the tobacco is no less toxic in a water-pipe.

But the dangers associated with smoking shisha is not what prompted Janet Mbugua to stop smoking the fruit-scented tobacco that is burnt using charcoal.

Speaking to her fans on Instagram Live, Janet Mbugua explained that she quit smoking shisha after she got her son Ethan Huru Ndichu.

Janet confessed she used to smoke shisha when a curious fans asked her about some bowls in her house which looked shisha bowls.

“Those are not shisha things, they look like it right? No… Let me show you what they are because right now you guys are being haters. This is not a shisha bowl guys, i don’t do that no more. Once in a while i used to do shisha but ever since having my son…” said Janet.
