An intervention development for cessation of hookah smoking among Iranian women: study protocol for a systematic and theory-based approach to intervention design

Abstract Background Hookah smoking is an emerging global health issue, especially in Eastern Mediterranean region; and accordingly, women are at the center of this issue as they have a more positive attitude towards hookah smoking. Also, the rate of hookah smoking is increasing at a faster rate amon...
