The Hookah is a type of water piped (whether single or multi piped) device that is used for smoking shisha (a type of tobacco). This device was originally started to be used in India and made a major appeal to the people of the Middle East. The major importance of Hookah in society for Arab peoples is that smoking is part of Middle Eastern cultures and traditions. Historically, Hookah has been around for a long time and is able to be traced all the way back to Turkey. In the Middle East, the Hookah and smoking 'shisha' is known as "nargile."Smoking Hookah is a social act that is used in intimate situations with a few people or used in as large of groups as whole parties or peoples. It has been studied and proven that in the world, the Arab peoples are the biggest Hookah users known in the world as of now.
