hookah

Bubbling tobacco device

A hookah is a water pipe for smoking tobacco or other substances.

Smoke passes through a water-filled chamber before being inhaled through a long flexible tube.

Hookahs originated in the Middle East and South Asia and remain associated with those regions, though hookah bars have spread globally.

Also called a waterpipe or, in some regions, shisha or narghile.
