What is being tested?
The study is testing if health warnings at hookah cafés can make people smoke less compared to no warnings. This will be measured by the change in expired carbon monoxide levels before and after visiting the café.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves observing smoking behavior rather than a medical intervention, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience discomfort from exposure to health warnings.
