A video showing a young girl believed to be about four years old smoking shisha has sparked outrage and concern among social media users.
In the footage circulating online, the little girl could be seen sitting in what appears to be a backyard while holding a shisha pipe and inhaling from it.
The child appeared comfortable with the act, raising concerns that she may have been introduced to the activity by an adult.
Many viewers expressed shock over the video, with some accusing the person behind the camera of encouraging the child to engage in an activity that could be harmful to her health.
The manner in which the girl handled the shisha also led some people to believe that she had been coached on how to smoke it.
Social media users have questioned why an adult would provide a child with a smoking device and record the moment instead of preventing her from being exposed to such behaviour.
The identity of the child and the location where the video was recorded remain unclear. However, the footage has renewed discussions about child protection and the responsibility of adults in ensuring that children are not exposed to harmful activities for entertainment or social media attention.
