Hookah

The Tempest is a truly remarkable Hookah that encompasses detail in the form of a revoluationary designed Bohemian vase. The Tempest is stored in a hard style carrying case that contains a security combination code for comfort and privacy. This Hookah may be converted to a four hose Hookah by utilizing stem adaptors that contain the auto-seal system. The Auto Seal system eliminates the need to use rubber stoppers and flip caps when there are multiple users smoking the Hookah. This Hookah may be used for both decorative and smoking pleasures, providing entertainment for years to come.

What is Hookah

Devised in the Middle East several centuries ago, the hookah is considered very hip among teen smokers in the US. The hookah, also known by different names as the shisha, narghile or the slang term ‘hubble-bubble’, actually consists of a metal cylinder fitted with a vessel containing burning coals on the top, a vessel containing water at the bottom and a hose through which smoke is inhaled.

Hookah smoking requires some preparation. The mixture to be smoked contains tobacco and a mild substance such as honey, molasses or some dried fruit. When the smoker inhales through the hose, a pressure buildup inside the hookah chamber causes the smoke to run into the mouth of the smoker. Before the smoke reaches the hose, it has to pass through the lighted coal and the water. The coal heats up the smoke and the water cools it down.

Hookah Health

It's a myth that hookah smoking is safer than smoking cigarettes. The tobacco is no less toxic. Hookah smokers actually inhale more tobacco smoke than do cigarette smokers because of the massive volume of smoke they inhale.

Hookah — also called narghile, shisha and goza — is a water pipe. The device has been used for centuries in the Middle East and Asia to smoke tobacco. Now, hookah bars and cafes are popping up across the United States — fueled by the growing popularity of hookah smoking among teens and young adults
