It is believed that the Hookah originated in India around the 15^th century. It was originally used to smoke opium. The hookah moved to Iran where Ajami, a strong flavorless tobacco, was used to smoke through the “water Pipe”. It wasn’t until the hookah moved to Turkey when it became a popular “status quo”; the upper class would smoke hookah after meals and in coffee shops. As a result hookah went international and today hookah can be enjoyed at hookah bars and the convenience of your own home!
