Introduction: For regular hookah users, it’s possible to observe high levels of carbon monoxide (CO) e carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), both for sessions using tobacco e nicotine, and for the sessions free from these components. This observation suggests that CO exposure during hookah usage is related to the coal used to heat the tobacco, and, endorses the claim related to the fact that absence of tobacco does not make hookah safe. Based on this information, it is possible to observe that using these devices can lead to a greater risk of COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). Respiratory symptoms such as cough, phlegm production and shortness of breath, are related to addiction and the commitment levels, since the observations show that the greater the addiction levels, the more evident the symptoms are observed. Specific Goals: This study aimed to analyze the Youth behavior in São Paulo State regarding hookah usage and electronic cigarettes. Checking the frequency of use of these devices, the knowledge about physiological side-effects of using them and possible consequences in their health. Method: This is a prospective observational study which a survey will be applied to collect data regarding the hookah and electronic cigarettes usage among young people in São Paulo state. Conclusion: The smoking habits considering these devices are usual and have already been included in people’s routines, especially for young people as a social interaction strategy. Even having knowledge about the side effects during and/or after the smoking session, users continue to use them. This strengthens the need for public health policy campaigns emphasizing the consequences of exposure to electronic cigarettes and hookah smoke
