          A multi-stemmed, often times glass based water pipe originating from India. From India, it was made popular as the form we now see it in today in Turkey. A common taboo many Westerners do on accident is to pack the bowl with anything other than tobacco. This is frowned upon, but generally practiced in drug based societies because of the smoother, cooler smoke said hookah emits.
          ps: Drugs are cool.

            An Eastern smoking pipe designed with a long tube passing through an urn of water that cools the smoke as it is drawn through.
            Tobacco smoking was not the original use of hookahs, as there are many examples of hookahs in both art and archeology prior to the arrival of tobacco in the Old World. In this period, the substance most commonly smoked in hookahs was hashish. After tobacco was imported from the Americas in the 1600s, hookah use became more widespread because of tobacco's milder effect.
            Opium, previously taken orally and mostly regarded as a medicine, was added to tobacco and smoked from the 1800s onwards. This mixture, called madak, turned out to be more addictive than orally-ingested opium and created many social problems, especially in China. Although the practice of smoking opium and hashish in hookahs is not extinct, today hookahs are generally used for smoking tobacco, or cannabis.

                  Hookah, also called a waterpipe was first made in Iran out of a coconut, later the arabs spread it.
                  hookah is a single or multi-stemmed (often glass-based) water pipe device for smoking. A hookah operates by water filtration and indirect heat. It can be used for smoking herbal fruits, there are alot of diffrent flavors.

                  Today's media sometimes suggests that hookah can be a more health threatening activity than smoking cigarettes, but it´s unclear if that is the case, however there are tobacco free flavors for hookah, but unfortunately the smoke then becomes less thick, and doesnt tast as good.

                  Alot of people think of drugs when the hear hookah because many people add marijuana.
