What is hookah? or Shisha?
Introduction
Hookah is a type of pipe that you can use to smoke tobacco. It’s been around for hundreds of years and it was first introduced to the West in the 17th century by sailors who brought them from India. Hookahs have been used in many cultures including Persia, Egypt and even Japan where they are called shishas or sheesha (depending on their style). The most common form of hookah today is the traditional one made out of clay which has no heater inside it but rather charcoal placed inside its mouthpiece which gives off heat when inhaled through this device’s bowl mouthpiece onto charcoal burners attached underneath each side where users place their mouth against them while inhaling through this opening above theirs as well as blowing out air through its air tubes that connect directly into one another at both ends located at either side outside each chamber thus creating an ever expanding circular vortex around itself continuously moving forward towards other openings located beneath each chamber allowing more air into those chambers via which these openings pass through thus creating its own mini hurricane force winds coming towards our face while inhaling through them!
Hookah Vs Cigarettes
Hookah is a water pipe used to smoke tobacco, called shisha or maassel. The hookah can be made of clay or metal. Shisha is a flavored tobacco that is mixed with molasses and glycerin. Hookah is not as harmful as cigarettes because it does not contain tar and nicotine, which are the main ingredients in cigarettes.
The smoke from hookahs contains much less tar than that of cigarettes due to their low temperature and slow rate of burning (which results in less smoke). It also has fewer chemicals added during production compared to cigarettes such as ammonia nitrate; however these chemicals may still cause irritation if inhaled for long periods of time at high concentrations (Chen & Checkley 2009).
We’ll take a closer look at the key components of water pipes.
Hookah Bowl
Located at the top of the pipe, a bowl is one of the essential components. It is usually made of clay. Some people call it a head for this reason.
The bowl is where the coals are placed, and where the shisha tobacco is packed.
Hookah stem
The stem connects the base and bowl by means of a metallic tube. Additionally, a blowout valve is included as well as outlets for attaching hoses.
Most stems are made of stainless steel to prevent rusting and to make cleaning easier.
Hookah Hose
It consists of a hose connected to a stem on one end and a mouthpiece on the other end.
Base or vase
Bases are the parts that hold together the water pipe. Water is usually filled in it. It’s for this reason that hookah is sometimes referred to as a water pipe. Bases are generally made of glass.
Also, sometimes the wind cover is used for covering the bowl with coals. As a result, tobacco burning is kept under control since the wind is kept from blowing.
How does a hookah work?
Hookah is a waterpipe that has three parts: bowl, stem and hose. The bowl holds shisha and water; the stem connects to the hose; and the hose delivers smoke from your hookah to your mouth.
What is shisha / sheesha?
Shisha is a word that comes from the Arabic language and means “to smoke”. It can be made from tobacco, but it also has been found in other substances such as cannabis and herbs. Sheesha is an even more popular option, which uses dried fruits like apricots and oranges to flavor the tobacco rather than using actual tobacco leaves.
Shishas come in different flavors of choice depending on where you live: Egypt uses mint while Syria uses rosewater; Lebanon prefers vanilla-flavored shishas while Jordan enjoys minty ones as well! Some people prefer one flavor over another because they find certain tastes more pleasing than others (for example if I’m going out with friends who love chocolate then I’ll probably go for something chocolatey).
How to set up a hookah and light the coals?
Setting up a hookah is fairly simple, but it does take some time. You will need to assemble the hookah and light the coals in order for it to work properly. The simplest way to do this is by following these steps:
- Unscrew all of your pieces of glass, including bowl and hose. If you have extra bowls or hoses lying around, you can use those as well!
- Place your bowl on top of another piece of glass (making sure no water gets into either). This is called packing the bowl down because we will be filling this space with tobacco later on when we light up our coals again!
Buying the right hookah for your needs.
When you’re buying a hookah, there are several things to consider.
First of all, there are different types of hookahs. The most popular ones in the US are metal and glass bowls which allow for better airflow than plastic ones do. Glass allows for even more airflow because it lets out more smoke than most materials do (glass is also very heavy). Metal allows for less smoke because it traps heat inside itself instead of letting it escape through the sides like with glass bowls. Both metal and glass make good smoking tools but they each have their own advantages depending on what type of smoker you are!
Secondly, how much space does your home have? If you don’t have much room then maybe buying one that’s smaller would be best; whereas if money isn’t an issue then go ahead and get yourself something bigger so that everyone else can enjoy themselves too!

Cleaning a hookah
Cleaning a hookah pipe is a simple process. You can clean your hookah with hot water, but make sure you don’t get any water in the bowl or base of the pipe. The easiest way to clean it is just by running some soapy water through it for about 15 minutes and then rinsing it out with clear water. If you have leftover ash from burning tobacco stems (which will most likely be sitting on top of your bowl), then this is also an easy way to clean as well!
The best cleaning products for your hookah are just like anything else: they depend on what kind of pipes you have and how often you smoke them! Glass pipes should be cleaned daily because they are delicate items; metal ones may need more frequent cleaning because there’s more friction involved when smoking compared with glass pipes which means dirt builds up faster on metal ones (and therefore requires more frequent maintenance).
Knowledge is power, so if you are new to hookahs then do some research and don’t get confused.
Hookah is a water pipe. It’s a very popular smoking device and it comes in many different designs and sizes. Hookahs are often used in social settings, especially with friends or family members that you enjoy spending time with.
Hookah smokers will smoke shisha, which is tobacco mixed with fruit, molasses and honey that has been wrapped around the hookah stem (the part you hold while smoking).
Conclusion
Hookah is a unique smoking experience that involves one person smoking out of a pipe, called the hose, and another person smoking through the same bubbling water. The first person blows hot air into the hose through a tube called the shisha. Then they inhale it through their mouthpiece or nose piece, and exhale it into the hose. This creates an incredible amount of smoke!
