Is smoking tobamel from a hookah any better/worse for your health than smoking a cigarette?

I smoked from a hookah for the first time a week ago, and it was really nice! I was thinking about buying one. I would probably use it about once a week as a social thing. I have no family history of cancer. I've never smoked a cigarette in my life. Only hookah tobbaco (tobamel) will be smoked from it (no contraband!!!). Should I still be concerned about my health?
