 Hookahs are water pipes for smoking tobacco. You can sip your strong Turkish coffee when you are listening good music,and smoke. Or you can share the hookah with your friends, enjoying the experience. Hookah tobacco or Shisha are usually fruit flavored and are more natural than the chemical based tobacco common in American cigarettes. Depending on locality, hookahs or shishas may be referred to by many names: Arabic language use it as Shisha or Nargeela or Argeela and they use it throughout the whole of the Arab World; Narguileh (but sometimes pronounced Argilah) is the name most commonly used in Greece, Cyprus, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, and Syria. In Turkish is called Narglile. Narghile derives from the Persian word nārghile, meaning coconut, which in turn is from the Sanskrit word nārikela, suggesting that early hookahs were hewn from coconut shells.
