Not sure how true but a very good friend who works in the medical profession directed me to this once:-

How harmful is shisha smoking?
Traditionally shisha tobacco contains cigarette tobacco, so like cigarettes it contains nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide and heavy metals, such as arsenic and lead. As a result, shisha smokers are at risk of the same kinds of diseases as cigarette smokers, such as heart disease, cancer, respiratory disease and problems during pregnancy.

It’s difficult to say exactly how much smoke or toxic substances you’re exposed to in a typical shisha session. People smoke shisha for much longer periods of time than they smoke a cigarette, and in one puff of shisha you inhale the same amount of smoke as you’d get from a smoking a whole cigarette.

The average shisha-smoking session lasts an hour and research has shown that in this time you can inhale the same amount of smoke as from more than 100 cigarettes.

Some people mistakenly think that shisha smoking is not addictive because the water used in the pipe can absorb nicotine. In reality, because only some of the nicotine is absorbed by the water, shisha smokers are still exposed to enough nicotine to cause an addiction.
 
In general, what the players do on their spare time is their own business. However:
1. Smoking anything is not good for the health and ill-advised for an athlete with any sort of aspirations.
2. Given the public furore (rightly or wrongly) over his summer transfer, this was pretty dumb. Simply feeding fodder to the gutter press.
 
Some sensible comments, some rash. Yes, it's not ideal but it's not going to be detrimental to his health unless he's doing it all day every day. The few getting worked up about it need to get back in touch with reality.

Seems rash for you to get worked up about those getting worked about Sterling.
