Hello and welcome to HCM
The new fad 'hookah pen' will be harmful to health in future depends on the constituents of the hookah pen.
A conventional 'hookah' has many carcinogenic (cancer causing) agents.
These agents are harmful to health and result in many diseases, cancer being the commonest.
Whether the new fad in your school has these constituents is not known.
You need to find this out.
Thanks and take care
