spread to neighboring countries and it is now
popular all over the globe.
• It is a very popular thing to attend a parlor
and enjoy a pipe with friends while catching
up with the latest news and gossip.

4. A Good Alternative
• The sweet smell of the smoke is very
appealing to a lot of people and this is a big
factor in its rise in popularity. This kind of
smoking is regarded as non addictive to be
enjoyed as a social activity and a very good
alternative to cigarettes and cigars.
• People who partake in this activity say that it
is very relaxing and helps them get rid of the
stresses of the day.

5. What Is Needed
• The special shisha tobacco does not contain the
same harmful properties that are found in other
tobacco products. The tobacco is smoked through
a Hookah pipe and this contains water so that the
smoke passes through it which cools down the
taste of the smoke to make it more palatable.
• When a pipe is loaded up with everything that is
required it can produce a smoking experience
that can last from thirty minutes up to an hour.

6. Shisha Pipes
• These pipes have changed greatly over the
years and they have been adapted in many
different countries to suit the local needs of
the people.
• In the early days they were made by skilled
craftsmen and were very decorative and
ornamental. These days the pipes are more
practical as people are not so worried about
their aesthetic appeal.

7. Flavors
• The tobacco is a mix of herbs and other
ingredients and normally contains a high degree
of molasses. There are numerous shisha flavors
on the market today and the fruit flavors really do
seem to be the most popular.
• Among the favorites are
blueberry, mint, strawberry, watermelon and
cherry. It is possible to add your own flavoring to
the tobacco and there is even a cola flavor
available now.

8. Tobacco
• The difference between shisha tobacco and normal
tobacco found in cigarettes and cigars is that the
conventional tobacco is dry whereas the hookah
tobacco is moist which is why it cannot be smoked in
the same way. The tobacco is most commonly
purchased in 250 gram packs which will provide around
25 bowls or sessions.
• There is an art to preparing the hookah pipe correctly
and this includes breaking up the tobacco to ensure
that it is fairly evenly spread around the bowl and then
covering it properly with glass.

9. Popularity
• It is not difficult to see why shisha smoking has
become popular worldwide. With the aromatic
and relaxing smoking sensation that it provides
and the fact that it is a lot more socially
acceptable than other forms of smoking have all
contributed to its rise in popularity.
• There are many online stores now selling the
tobacco, pipes and all the other necessary
accessories that are required to participate in this
activity.
