Journal of oral hygiene and Health has announced almost 20 percent discount on article processing charge to commemorate its Anniversary. On behalf of the Journal of oral hygiene and Health the editor of Journal of oral hygiene and Health is overwhelmed by the response and eagerness of the academic and research contributors to publish with the journal and take part in the year-long celebrations.

The World Health Organization (WHO) states that forms of tobacco use, including cigarette smoking and water pipe (WP) use, cause a large and growing public health burden. Each year, universal tobacco use is estimated to kill about 5 million people, and is the cause for one in every five male deaths, and one in every 20 female deaths of individuals over age 30. By 2030, it is estimated that yearly tobacco deaths will rise to 10 million. Some argue that the public health burden caused by tobacco use in the Middle East has reached epidemic proportions. Despite widespread water pipe (WP) use in Saudi Arabia, research on WP use and the awareness of its effect on oral health in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia are limited. This study attempts to calculate the prevalence of WP use and discover the awareness level regarding its effect on oral health in a sample collected from Riyadh City.

The primary preferences for WP use in terms of groups in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were those of the male gender, those who were cigarette smokers, and those who avoided dentist visits. The study found that males had a much higher prevalence of WP use than females. Anti-WP smoking interventions that target the male gender and cigarette smokers are needed to prevent WP use among these subjects. However, this study could also be foundational to initiating a future study investigating the motives for WP use and awareness in terms of cardiovascular risk.
