Cameroon has banned the smoking of shisha pipes, saying it poses a health risk to mostly young people who use it in bars and at home.
The health ministry says about 46% of young Cameroonians smoke the substance which is typically a mix of tobacco, molasses, glycerine and flavourings.
Doctors say there is a misconception that shishas are not as harmful as cigarettes and the British Heart Foundation says an hour-long shisha session can be the equivalent of smoking more than 100 cigarettes.
