What is hookah?

A hookah is a water pipe used to smoke tobacco, also known as shisha.

Hookah users inhale through a mouthpiece, drawing air over charcoal and through the pipe to heat the tobacco and create tobacco smoke. This smoke is pulled down the hookah into the bowl, which is filled with water. The smoke passes through the water and is inhaled by users through the hose and mouthpiece.
