Seems like around here it's simply a trendy thing to do like smoking, but since the hazards aren't there more people do it..

There are a bunch of Arab hookah bars around here.

In VA a lot of people go to prince. If you don't order a $2 can of coke they will give you a pos hookah

btw, it's also sometimes referred to as a "sheesha" (or "shisha", depending on how you spell it)

hookahs are alright for "whatever" you're smoking. However, there is a fundamental flaw in the hookah that makes them undesirable, particularly with inexperienced smokers.

Picture, if you will, four (less or more) sucks vales with one intake - blow valve/bowl of burning whatever. If all four hoses are sucking, all is good. If one hose is left unattended, there creates a pressure differential where the remaining suckers only get a fraction of the disired intake, watered-down by the non-sucker's empty hose. Now, to aleviate this problem, the non-sucker can plug his/her hose to rebuild the original pressure differential to the main inlet (bowl) so all can get thier goods. What is needed is a check-valve for each hose, a problem that I've overcome and am willing to sell/give plans to the entrepeneauring pothead.

Cliff notes:
All suck or the hookah sucks
Plug the hole for better suck
I've invented a hole-plugger so that all can suck freely.

The Hookahs were in Westwood long before you were at UCLA, they are nothing new.

WHITE RABBIT -- Jefferson Airplane

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head
Feed your head
Feed your head"
