hookas are great, there should be miniature ones for when your on the road. i dont think it gets you high, much more of a "general sense of wellbeing" id say

Yeah that what my friends call it too, for some reason its called hookah in usa wierdo's.
The hooka is the pipe thing, the shisha is the flavoured tobacco.
hope that clarifies things for those of you who are confused.smoking-hookah.com wrote:
The nargile (Hookah,huka,hooka) first became popular in the primitive form of a coconut shell in India and it is one of the oldest and most popular traditions in Turkey. There is no discrimination when it comes to smoking the hookah, as men and women equally partake and enjoy its aromatic offering. Before reaching the rest of the world, hookah popularity spread to Iran, widely recognized as the launch pad to global popularity.
Even though Iran was the final stop before global stardom, it was in Turkey where design and tradition truly took form as a cultural characteristic, and have since remained relatively unchanged.
Coffee is big in Turkey. Through this cultural mainstay, the hookah entered popular culture over 500 years ago. It soon became clear that there were certain ways to go about working the hookah, from passing the hose to lighting the coals to changing the tobacco. But don't worry, hookah smokers are generally patient, thoughtful people who are more than willing to help you learn. Between the surreal calm and subtle customs surrounding the elaborate and often painstakingly designed hookah, its tradition soon became ingrained in Turkish culture, providing pleasure to millions.
Today, you can find hookahs in homes and restaurants around the world. In New York, there are seven lounges named after the word Nargilah! In addition to its pleasant scent and calming effects, non-smokers also find great fun in hookah smoking as the tobacco is not addictive. Moreover, cigarette smokers even replace their favorite brand for the Hookah. That is just how good it is!
We hope this short history lesson has been informative, and we know you're curious to know more. Guess it's time to find out for yourself.
What is shisha ?
Shisha is a mixture of tobacco and treacle, honey or sugar, and distilled water with fruit flavors. Shisha tobacco is very light and flavorful with a wonderful fruity aroma.
Shisha is not your typical tobacco. It's nothing like the tobacco in cigars, cigarettes or dip. No, smoking true narguile shisha is an entirely different sensation. Shisha Tobacco is smoked for flavor and not for any kind of effect. It proves a relaxing and peaceful pursuit.
Shisha is very light and flavorful, with a wonderful fruity aroma. The most popular flavor is apple and others include strawberry, pineapple, apricot, grape, rose, mint and even cappuccino!
In the Middle East, from Turkey to India, there are shisha cafés where people gather to smoke and drink coffee or tea. Smoking shisha can last two hours or more and is a very peaceful, social occasion, generally filled with friendly conversation. A shisha smoking session can last from thirty minutes up to an hour.

Hooka's own... and if you're going to smoke anything at all, they're the safest for your body.
you smoke a hookah the same way one smokes pipe tobacco. you dont say "Hey, i smoked some pipe tobacco filler" you say "Hey, i smoked this pipe"Vilham wrote:

Molasses tobacco
Congrats my first time was out of a hooka too. I was gone. The room we were all in was dark with just a black light and a party strobe on. I was so stoned it was like the strobe controled how fast my body moved. The slower the strobe effect the slower i could move. It was fucked up. It was some good shit too.Superior Mind wrote:
Yah, me and my friend just saw The Prestige, and it was fucking weird, so he said (more or less), "lets go contemplate the meaning of this movie over some hooka."
This is the first time I have ever smoked anything, and all I have to say is this: lol. I felt so out of place, being a Jew and all. Yeah so..that's it.
hooka's are good I smoked the watermelon one and bunch of other different types.kr@cker wrote:
dude, you're stoned

hooka is great! Never tried one with weed, but apple & cinnamon is nice, as is apricot
It's flavored tobacco. Actually, it's the huge pipe/bong, but it just means you "smoked" the tobacco. I haven't done it myself, but a lot of my friends have. They tell me there aren't any real health hazards because you aren't burning the tobacco and inhaling the fumes, but heating the tobacco. I've seen a few of them after they've smoked it and they seemed to be concious. They tell me it's just a feeling of lightheadedness, not a high that one might imagine after doing pot or something. Nevertheless, I'm still suspicious of it.thareaper254 wrote:

there is no such thing as healthy smoke. your lungs are made for oxygen, not hot ash.Smithereener wrote:

I've just finished smokin me pumpkin shaped hookah just then with a bit of wacky backy mixed in. good times.
I'm confused (and it probably has to do with the fact that I don't smoke anything at all) but is 'hooka' basically another term for a water bong?
