shisha
Flavored tobacco bubbler
Shisha is a water pipe used to smoke flavored tobacco, also called hookah or narghile.
The tobacco is heated with charcoal and the smoke passes through water before inhalation.
Shisha is popular in Middle Eastern cafes and has spread globally as a social activity: We spent the evening at a shisha lounge.
The word can refer to the pipe itself or the flavored tobacco mixture.
