hookahs

Smoke through water

Hookahs are water pipes used for smoking tobacco, typically featuring a bowl, a water chamber that cools and filters the smoke, and one or more flexible hoses with mouthpieces.

The practice is traditional in Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures, where sharing a hookah is often social: We spent the evening at a hookah bar.

Also called shisha or narghile.
