Actual (reported)This is a pilot study on acute effects of Hookah smoking on the sympathetic neural control of the human cardiovascular system. Hookah smoking is known to transiently increase blood pressure and heart rate while decreasing heart rate variability suggesting - but not proving - sympathetic mediation. Here the investigators will directly measure the acute effects of Hookah smoking on sympathetic nerve activity with microneurography (intraneural microelectrodes) and quantify associated regional changes in vasomotor tone.

Actual (reported)Sympathetic nerve activity
Multi-unit recordings of sympathetic nerve activity will be obtained with single-use sterile tungsten microelectrodes inserted selectively into muscle or skin nerve fascicles of the peritoneal nerve.

At the initial study visit
Healthy habitual Hookah smokers will undergo microneurography, myocardial contrast echocardiogram or venous occlusion plethysmography before and after Hookah smoking.
Subjects will smoke waterpipe in a controlled research environment.
