Abstract

This article focuses on the impact of waterpipe tobacco (WTP) smoking on all-cause mortality in Northern Viet Nam. A prospective cohort study of 35,646 adults from 2007 to 2019 found that both exclusive WTP smoking and dual use of WTP and cigarettes significantly increased the risk of death from all causes, including cancer, diabetes, and heart diseases, compared with non-smokers. The hazard ratio (HR) for all-cause mortality was 1.38 for exclusive WTP smokers and 1.55 for dual smokers. Additionally, smoking cessation for more than 10 years substantially reduced mortality risk. The study highlights the need for targeted public health programs to control WTP exposure in Viet Nam and similar settings.
