Hookahs and Water Pipes

Water pipes, hookahs, and narghiles are all synonyms, and are reference to the original tools used to smoke solely perfumed tobacco. Many different sources state that this practice has its origins in India, where it then expanded to the west. Nowadays, hookahs are widely used and it’s quite common to see them being used at bars and clubs.

What is a Hookah Pipe?

A hookah or water pipe is a traditional water pipe used to smoke traditional perfumed tobacco designed for these pipes. You can also use them to consume molasses, herbs, hash etc. They’re also used with alcoholic beverages in some places rather than just water, and they also need a lit coal to work.

How Does a Hookah Pipe Work?

These tools are essentially the same as normal water pipes. Hookahs are made up of the following parts:

• A bowl, where you place the material you plan on smoking, on top of which you place tin foil with holes in it. Then, place a lit coal on top of the tin foil.
• The ashtray is under the bowl, where the ash falls into.
• The body is found between the bowl and base, which is where the tube connecting to the water is.
• The base is usually made out of glass, although there are many more models available nowadays. Here is where you put the water or other liquid, making sure to cover the hole on the inner tube(s).
• Hookahs have one or two hoses depending on the model, which is where smoke is inhaled.
• They have a small valve which allows you to remove air from inside the hookah.
