It official that Shisha is now illegal in the country and will not be permitted at any given time. This is after it was discovered to have long term health effects that include defects in children among other things on the human body. Other reports indicate that the flavors are laced with hard drugs like cocaine and heroine which are illegal in the country.<\/p>\n
