Identifying Sentiment of Hookah-Related Posts on Twitter

The popularity of hookah (or waterpipe) use is increasing among youth and young adults in the United States and elsewhere [1]. This increase will have consequences for public health because hookah use has similar health risks to that of combustible cigarette use [2,3]. Hookah is often perceived as safer than cigarettes [4] and is subject to less regulation [5]. For example, hookah is offered in a variety of flavors and often receives exemptions on smoking bans in bars and nightclubs.
