Hookah

A hookah, also known as shisha or water pipe, is a device used to smoke flavored tobacco. It consists of a bowl for the tobacco, a water chamber, and a hose through which the user inhales the smoke. The tobacco is heated by charcoal, and the smoke passes through the water to cool and filter it before being inhaled. Commonly used in social settings, hookah smoking delivers nicotine and flavored vapor. Although often perceived as less harmful than cigarettes, it still poses health risks due to the inhalation of toxic substances and long-term exposure to smoke.
