About The Hookah
The Hookah, also referred to as a Narghile, Ghaliune, Arghila, or Sheesha, is an elaborate, Middle Eastern Style water pipe that has long inspired great discussions of politics, religion, and the daily happenings. In social gatherings, the Hookah is placed in the center of a group and smokers pass the hose to the next person in the circle, all the while relaxing and engaging in conversation.
The popularity of the Hookah has sky-rocketed in recent years, mainly due to the social nature of Hookah smoking. In the United States, where everything has become so fast paced that people rarely have time to socialize, it has become a relaxing act of solidarity, where one can unwind and enjoy friends or family.
With the growing popularity of the Hookah, clusters of Sheesha indulgers can be found throughout the United States. Increasingly popular on college campuses, Hookahs can also be seen in sidewalk cafes, major night clubs, and casinos across the country. Many people prefer the smooth, sweet taste of the Hookah to smoking cigarettes or other forms of tobacco.
The Sheesha (or Shisha) is a special blend of tobacco leaves, fruit pulp, molasses or honey, and glycerin (natural preservative). It contains no tar and has as little as 0.05% nicotine. Sheesha is available in almost every flavor imaginable including apple, strawberry, rose, mango, cappuccino, lemon, grape, and coconut to name a few. Mixing flavors is also popular to enhance the experience.
