OOKA: A Cleaner, Smarter Shisha Experience — Now Backed by Science
By OOKA / June 4, 2025
As shisha continues to evolve, so do consumer expectations. Today’s users are looking for more than just tradition — they want a smoother, cleaner, and more convenient way to enjoy the ritual. That’s exactly what OOKA was built for. Now, a newly published scientific study in Nature’s Scientific Reports confirms what OOKA has stood for from the beginning: a significantly less harmful alternative to traditional, charcoal-based shisha.
1. Backed by Science
The independent study, conducted by ASL Analytic Service Laboratory GmbH in Germany, assessed 37 toxicants typically present in traditional shisha smoke. The findings revealed that OOKA reduces the emission of key harmful compounds — such as carbon monoxide, benzene, and formaldehyde, by up to 96%.
These substances are most linked to charcoal combustion. By eliminating the need for charcoal altogether, OOKA drastically reduces exposure to toxicants, offering users a cleaner and safer shisha experience.
