A Hookah (from Hindustani: हुक़्क़ा (Devanagari), حقّہ (Nastaleeq), IPA: [ˌɦʊqqaː]; also see other names), also known as the ḡalyān (Persian: قلیان), is a single- or multi-stemmed instrument for vaporizing and smoking flavored tobacco (often Mu‘assel), or sometimes cannabis or opium, whose vapor or smoke is passed through a water basin—often glass-based—before inhalation.Health risks of smoking through a hookah include exposure to toxic chemicals that are not filtered out by the water and risk of infectious disease when hookahs are shared.There are two theories regarding the origin of the hookah. The first is that following the introduction of tobacco to India by the Jesuits, the waterpipe was invented by one of Akbar's physicians, Abu’l-Fath Gilani, in the Indian city of Fatehpur Sikri during the Mughal Empire; the hookah spread from India to the Near East, where the mechanism was modified. Alternatively, it could originate in the Safavid dynasty of Persia, from where it eventually spread to the east into the Indian subcontinent during that time.The word hookah is a derivative of "huqqa", a Hindustani term. Outside its native region, hookah smoking has gained popularity throughout the world, especially among younger people, largely due to immigrants from the Levant, where it is especially popular. |
