Context: 202 male volunteers aged > 17 years were included. Blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate values of each participant, before and after a 30 minute smoking session, were measured and compared. Standardized questionnaires were also answered. Results: Mean increases in systolic blood pressure (16 +/- 1 mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (2 +/- 0.7 mmHg), heart rate (6.30 +/- 0.60 bpm) and respiratory rate (2 +/- 2 breathes/min) were observed (p < 0.001). 92% of smokers believed Waterpipe smoking (WPS) to be harmful to health and 77% of smokers took up WPS for reasons of leisure. Results from the questionnaire revealed a significant relationship between smokers' beliefs of WPS and attempts to quit smoking ie. smokers who believed waterpipe to be harmful were more likely to try to quit. Education had influence on smokers ideas on WPS. 69% of smokers who claimed hookah is harmful had university qualification and further 23% has highschool qualification. Conclusions: Smoking Waterpipe has significant effects on both the cardiovascular and respiratory system. Waterpipe smokers despite sound knowledge, show little concern towards health. Education plays an important role and creates awareness about the hazards of smoking practices, including Waterpipe.

Data privacy and security is the active area of research and experimentations in cloud computing. Data leakage and privacy protection is becoming crucial for many organizations moving on to cloud. Data can be of various types and degree of protection required for all the data is also varies. Here we are proposing a classification technique that defines various parameters. Parameters are defined based on various dimensions. Data security can be provided based on the level and the required protection. Corresponding security provisions at the storage can be applied based on data set classified as per the dimensions. The efficiency of the proposed classification scheme is analyzed with the sample dataset collected.
