General Topics

A hookah is a traditional instrument for smoking flavoured tobacco called ‘shisha’ or ‘mu’assel’. Hookahs have a long standing tradition in many parts of the world and as a result are known by many different names including narghile, shisha, huqqah, argileh, and even colloquially as ‘hubbly bubbly’. The hookah originated from India and the Middle East, and is now enjoyed all over the world.

Hookahs work by vaporising (rather than burning) the flavoured tobacco and passing the smoke through water to cool and purify it before inhalation. Nowadays, tobacco and nicotine free shisha is also available and comes in many different exciting flavours such as apple, watermelon and berry.

Smoking the hookah has become a great social past time, and hookah bars and lounges provide meeting spots for friends to gather and socialise. It has also been said that smoking shisha is not only a custom, but a matter of prestige.
