False, Shisha is much deadlier than cigarettes. You inhale a lot more smoke than you normally would, plus even more carcinogenic substances from the charcoal mixer and other substances and flavorings. Even though the tablets don't contain as much tobacco, it still contains many substances. If you burn anything at that temperature, new chemicals and substances are created that are even deadlier. I believe the tablets even burn at a much higher temperature than tobacco leaf due to smoldering charcoal. The water does not filter the smoke at all, it simply cools it, allowing you to inhale more than you normally would.
