What is Hookah?

Hookah, also known as Shisha or waterpipe, is a traditional smoking device used for inhaling flavored tobacco. Originating centuries ago in the Middle East, Hookah has evolved into a social and relaxing activity enjoyed by people worldwide. It consists of several key parts that come together to create a unique and enjoyable smoking experience.


The Components of a Hookah:


  1. The Bowl:

    • This is where the flavored tobacco (or shisha) is placed. It's usually made of clay or ceramic and holds the tobacco mixture.

    • The quality and material of the bowl can impact the smoking experience, with some bowls designed for specific purposes like slow burn or maximum flavor.

  2. The Stem:

    • The stem is the vertical component of the Hookah that connects the bowl to the water base. It allows the smoke to travel down into the water chamber.

    • Typically made of metal (stainless steel, brass, or aluminum), the stem is the backbone of the Hookah.

  3. The Water Chamber (Base):

    • This is the part that holds the water, where the smoke is filtered and cooled before being inhaled. The water helps to remove some of the impurities and cools the smoke, making it smoother and more enjoyable.

    • The water chamber is usually made of glass, allowing users to visually see the smoke bubbling and filtering.

  4. The Hose:

    • The hose is used to inhale the smoke. It is connected to the stem and can be made of various materials, including rubber or silicone. The hose often features a mouthpiece for individual use.

  5. The Charcoal:

    • Charcoal is placed on top of the tobacco in the bowl to heat it, allowing the tobacco to vaporize and produce smoke.

    • There are two main types of charcoal: natural (made from coconut shells or bamboo) and quick-light charcoal (which burns faster and is often easier to use).

  6. The Grommets & Seals:

    • These rubber or silicone parts ensure that the hookah is airtight and smoke doesn't escape, allowing the smoke to flow properly through the device.

  7. The Tongs:

    • Tongs are used to handle the charcoal safely, ensuring users don’t burn themselves while adjusting or changing the charcoal during the session.


Flavors of Hookah Tobacco:


One of the most exciting aspects of Hookah is the wide range of tobacco flavors available. These flavors can dramatically enhance the smoking experience, and many lounges like Kings Shisha Lounge Ginza offer a diverse selection of shisha. Popular flavors include:


  1. Mint: Cool, refreshing, and perfect for mixing with other flavors.

  2. Fruit Flavors: Apple, grape, strawberry, and watermelon are some of the most common fruity options.

  3. Citrus: Lemon, lime, and orange add a zesty and tangy twist.

  4. Spicy: Flavors like cinnamon, cardamom, and even rose can provide a more exotic and spicy smoking experience.

  5. Gourmet Flavors: Coffee, vanilla, chocolate, and other dessert-inspired flavors can add a rich, sweet aroma to your session.


Some lounges also offer blends and custom mixes, so you can enjoy unique combinations like "Mint Berry" or "Citrus Breeze."


The Charcoal: The Key to Your Hookah Experience


As mentioned earlier, charcoal plays a crucial role in heating the tobacco and creating the smoke. There are two main types of charcoal commonly used in Hookahs:


  1. Quick-light Charcoal:

    • These are easy to light and burn for a shorter period. They are coated with a chemical that helps them ignite quickly. However, they may sometimes produce a slight chemical taste, which some users don't prefer.

  2. Natural Charcoal:

    • Made from natural materials like coconut shells or bamboo, natural charcoal burns longer and produces a cleaner taste with minimal impurities. While it takes longer to light, it’s favored by many Hookah enthusiasts for its smoothness.


Different Names for Hookah Around the World:


  1. Shisha (Middle East & North Africa):

    • The term "Shisha" is commonly used in countries like Egypt, Lebanon, and Morocco. In these regions, the term refers both to the tobacco and the device.

  2. Waterpipe (Western Countries):

    • In countries like the U.S. and the U.K., Hookah is often referred to as a "waterpipe" due to its water chamber, which filters and cools the smoke.

  3. Argileh (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan):

    • This is the name used for Hookah in many parts of the Levant region. "Argileh" directly translates to "clay" in Arabic, referring to the traditional materials used in constructing the device.

  4. Hubble-Bubble (South Asia):

    • A colloquial term often used in India and Pakistan, referring to the sound the smoke makes when bubbling through the water.

  5. Nargileh (Turkey):

    • In Turkey, Hookah is known as "Nargileh," a term that traces back to Persian roots.


The Origin of Hookah:


The history of Hookah dates back to the 16th century in India, where it is believed to have been invented by a Persian physician named Hakim Abdul Fath. He is said to have created the first Hookah in an effort to create a safer way to smoke tobacco.

Hookah was later popularized by the Mughal Empire, particularly in the courts of India and Persia. It quickly spread to the Middle East and North Africa, where it became an integral part of social life and culture. Over time, the Hookah became a symbol of luxury, wealth, and refinement.

By the late 20th century, Hookah made its way to Western countries, where it was embraced by young people seeking a social, relaxed way of enjoying tobacco. Today, Hookah lounges and bars are found in cities worldwide.
