The reason most people seem to think shisha is alright is two-fold:

1. They think tobacco is halal to smoke or they don't realize that it is haram simply because LITERALLY everyone in the Arab world and other Muslim countries does it. Indonesia is the worst. You see babies smoking in some of the villages there

2. They think the manner of the smoking (ie through a water pipe) makes it safe

Both are wrong. Shisha is actually far worse than cigarettes simply because the amount of smoke one takes into their lungs is drastically higher with shisha. The smoke might be cooler, but that doesn't make it any bit safer.
