hooked on hookah

Are hookahs making a comeback? Until I reached adulthood, the only hookah I had ever seen was in the movies. Alice In Wonderland, to be exact, with the big caterpillar smoking from a hookah. I’ve seen one in real life now - we have a friend who travels quite a bit and he has a hookah he bought on one of his trips, in his living room on display. It is for display only, because he’s not a smoker.

But for those of you who may be smokers…why use a hookah? One reason is that you can smoke things other than tobacco in one, for example, herbal fruits. Many cities with large Arab or Middle Eastern populations even have public hookah bars where you can stop in for a smoke. If you’d like to give this ancient art of smoking a try, you can stop by a hookah tobacco in person, or online. One such online store is CustomHookahs.com, and they not only sell the tools needed (hookah tobacco, charcoal, hoses, bases, stems, and bowls) but they also support the hookah bar community by listing the locations of hookah bars in the United States.
