Narghile.” “Hubble-bubble.” “Shisha.” All names for what is commonly known in the United States as “Hookah.” A hookah is a type of water pipe in which users inhale flavored tobacco smoke through a long, hose-like stem after it passes through a basin of water. Hookah smoking has been around in the Middle East for over 400 years; however it’s seen a surge in popularity among college age adults in the United States over the past ten years.1
If you don’t know what hookah is, I guarantee that you’ve seen a pipe advertised in a shop window or a new “hookah lounge” opening up in your hometown.
I first heard about hookah when my little sister called me from college one day: “It’s awesome! They have these little water pipes you smoke with fruity flavors.”
