Hookah: A Simple (But Complete) Guide

Hookah, also known as waterpipe or shisha, is a type of smoking device that is used to smoke flavored tobacco, called shisha. Here is a simple but complete guide to smoking hookah:

1. Assemble the hookah: To assemble the hookah, start by attaching the base to the stem. Next, attach the hose to the stem, and then fill the base with water. Finally, place the bowl on top of the stem and add the tobacco to the bowl.
2. Prepare the tobacco: Make sure to properly prepare the tobacco by breaking it up into small pieces and evenly distributing it in the bowl. This will help the tobacco burn evenly and produce a better smoke.
3. Light the coals: Use a coal tray or a heat management device to help regulate the temperature and prevent the coals from overheating the tobacco. Place the lit coals on top of the bowl and allow them to heat up the tobacco.
4. Take a puff: Once the tobacco is heated up, you can start smoking. Take a puff on the hose and inhale the smoke into your lungs. Exhale the smoke through your mouth or nose.
5. Maintain the hookah: To keep the hookah in good working condition, it’s essential to regularly clean the hose, bowl, and base of the hookah. This will help maintain the performance of the hookah and protect your health.
