Some hookah fects The Hukka (Hookah,huka,hooka,hookahs,Nargile) 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.

and tradition truly took form as a cultural characteristic, and have since remained relatively

unchanged.

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

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.
