A HOOKAH IS A WATER PIPE USED TO SMOKE TOBACCO THROUGH COOLED WATER.

IT IS ALSO REFERRED TO AS A SHISHA, GOZA, HUBBLY-BUBBLY, BORRY, ARHILE AND NARGHILE.

WHEN SMOKING HOOKAH, CHARCOAL HEATS THE TOBACCO IN THE HEAD OF THE PIPE, AND THEN SMOKE IS FILTERED AND COOLED THROUGH WATER AT THE BASE BEFORE BEING INHALED THROUGH A HOSE.
