Burn it now.............

Burn it... burn........

No, not house, not riot and stuff. What I mean is shisha. Let's explore a bit about shisha.

Shisha is a traditional Middle Eastern or Asian device for smoking. It is also known as a water pipe, nargeela/arghileh/nargile, hookah, kalyan, ghelyoon or Ghalyan, or hubble bubble. It works by water filtration and indirect heat.

It is said to have originated in India or perhaps even as far as China. Shisha smoking is particularly popular in the Arab Middle East where coffee shops attract people with an almost irresistible scent. Nowadays, shisha smoking is a seemingly unbreakable social habit in popularity, especially among non Arabs. There are two different styles of shisha those from Turkey and those from Egypt.

A shisha's ability to produce pleasant, non irritating smoke has lead many to believe that shisha smoking is less destructive to one's health than most other methods of smoking cigarettes. Unlike cigarettes, where smoke is produced by the ignition and burning of tobacco, shisha produce a flavorful smoke by heating moistened tobacco. Research has shown that fewer cancer danger because the tobacco is heated, rather than burned.

Have you tried shisha before? At least once?
