A hookah, also known as water pipe in English has originated from India which is history. It is a multi stemmed instrument that is used for smoking. It is believed that Hakim Abul Fateh Gilani a physician from Iran invented the idea and presented it in the court of Mughal Emperor Akbar, according to Cyril Elgood. Hookah is a great tradition today within the people living in the state of Gujarat and Rajasthan in India.
The smoke is cooled and filtered by passing through water in Hookah. It is made of a number of pieces that are: bowl a container, windscreen a cover over the bowl, hose a straight neck tube, purge valve, water jar, plate an ashtray, and diffuser a premium piece. All this parts set to make a complete hookah experience for people. Today hookah and pipes are made in all part of the world in different names; few of them are Khalil Mamoon, Mya Saray, Kahled Zamaan and is available for people to buy it online especially in UK and USA. It is easier and cheaper to buy hookah online. Order can be placed along with tobacco. Hookah is warned as for any other tobacco products that it is meant for people of 18 years and more and that smoking can be harmful to you and those around.
The tobacco smoked with shisha pipe made of shisha or glass is a very popular recreation in every society today. Hookah has gained popularity all over the world, more in Middle East as people’s favourite pass time. Since hookah is a party instrument which is tried to enjoy smoking, it is no health hazard which regular smoking is. A pair of hookah in a party adds to joy and is a flavour which can be shared by a pair or more number of friends together.
I heard something about this recently on a global news program.
