I just want to know if it is or not because many Muslims that I know do shisha and they justify it by saying that it's the safe alternative to drugs or smoking or what not. However, I've heard that it's worse than cigarettes.

Thanks.
I believe it is haram, though you are correct that many Muslims do it. The fallacy in their logic is that just because something is less harmful, doesn't mean that it is right. It is non-addictive, and does not have the tar and other additives that cigarettes do. It does have quite a few times more carcinogens (cancer causing agents) that can lead to brain cancer. Basically smoking hookah/sheasha is choosing chancing brain cancer instead of lung cancer.
