Rooted in Middle Eastern culture, hookah pipes burn charcoal and tobacco, also known as shisha. Air is drawn through the tobacco and into the pipe, where it passes through water....There are at least 100 hookah lounges in Florida and most have opened in the past few years, Barnett said. Hookah is typically shared in groups and smoked with sweetened, flavored tobacco.
I always assumed hookah = pot. Hookah lounges? Anybody seen one?
I didn't know what they were.

I just quizzed the young one. He knew all about it.
