Before you purchase any of the items you need to smoke hookah, you may want know what hookah is. Hookah is the term used when all elements used to smoke are combined. What exactly are you smoking? The flavored tobacco put into your hookah is referred to as shisha. “Shisha is the very moist and sticky tobacco that has been soaked in honey or molasses.” (Kamal, 2014) It’s a lot different from smoking cigarettes due to the fact that it is wet and it’s not lit, but heated with a coal. You don’t want to smoke too much because of the side effects. “A study carried out by the University of California, has found that whilst smoking shisha you are exposed to different chemicals that are harmful.” (Reilly, 2013) If you are okay with these warnings, let’s get started.
First you will need to acquire seven items. You will need Shisha flavored tobacco, a shisha pipe, water, coals, foil, needle/pin, and a lighter. You can find all of these items at your local smoke shop besides the water. Since I live in Berks county mu smoke shop of choice is Smokey’s Tobacco shop located at the Berkshire mall in Wyomissing, Pa. For the water you can use bottled water or tap water. Pipes vary in color and size. Prices usually range from thirty dollars to a thousand dollars. It’s up to the customer to spend the money on the one that suits them. After you purchase a pipe you will need to purchase shisha. Shisha flavors vary from apple and Schnozberries, to Swag berry and Winter Fresh. You can mix flavors if you would like or use a single flavor. When purchasing coals, you may choose from several kinds of coals. The kind of coals you get depend on the kind of pipe you purchase. The foil you need can be simple aluminum foil you keep in your kitchen or yo...

...ck up a coal from the pack set it on the foil and light it with a lighter. If the coal is a quick light, you only need to put the flame on the coal for about five seconds. If it is not a quick light, you must light the coal until the coal has a glowing red look to it. If you are using a quick light coal be sure to wait until the coal has stopped “sizzling” before you inhale and smoke. If not the only thing you will taste is the coal. Once the “sizzling” has ended you can take the hose and inhale the smoke. If you have set it up correctly you will hear the water in the base make a bubbling sound. If you do not hear the bubbling sound you could have packed the shisha too tight. This will cause you to lose flavor in your tobacco and you will not have thick enough smoke. Also, too much or too little of liquid in the base may cause the bubbling sound to not occur.

Once you have gathered all your materials you should put on your safety goggles before you turn on the heat source, also place a paper towel on a flat surface or table and put one graham cracker down onto the paper towel. Then, you should place your marshmallow on the top of the stick, you should place it so that it is stable but not far enough that you see the stick through the marshmallow. Next you should hold the marshmallow over the top of the flame and rotate the stick a few rotations, until the flame is on the marshmallow. Once it is heated you will need to blow it out, and cool it off. Then you turn off your flame, or heat source and slide the marshmallow onto the graham cracker that you place on a table or flat surface earlier. Later you stack the chocolate on top of one of the marshmallow and graham crackers. You could also place the marshmallow on top of the chocolate, this is your preference.

The piece itself is long and carved out of a dark, brown wood. On the bowl of the pipe, a fierce battle between European and Ottoman soldiers is fought. The depiction is vividly carved into the wood, as soldiers are fighting on horseback all around the bowl. The bowl is connected to the rest of the pipe by a dragon’s mouth. On the thin tube connected to the mouthpiece are soldiers that have been tied up, captured and defeated by the Ottomans. The pipe depicts the victory of the Ottomans over the Hungarian Kingdom in 1662 by showing the dragon eating the conquered soldiers, and therefore is a display of Turkish nationalism. Tobacco originated in the Americas and was introduced to Turkey through trade with the Spanish. This boxwood pipe reflects the world-wide popularity of tobacco and pipe-smoking in the 17th century. The reason that this piece is interesting is because it highlights globalization on two levels: it illuminates the interaction between Ottomans and Europeans, through war in the 17th century, and it also shows the trade of the Ottomans with the Spanish for New Word tobacco products. From this pipe, one sees the global reach tobacco commodities had, as the 17th century pipe-smoking trend reached all the way to the Ottoman Empire. Also, one sees the importance wars, and conflicts in general, have for globalization as they
Tobacco usage was wide spread because it was cheap, homegrown, and duty free. Short, thick, clay pipes were used, although snuff and powdered tobacco were inhaled.
A gravity bong is probably one of the easiest and cheapest ones to make. All you have to have is a 2-liter bottle, 5 gallon bucket filled with water, alluminum foil, a sharp knife, tobacco, and a lighter. The first thing you do is take the lid off of the 2-liter bottle and then cut the bottom off with the sharp kinife. Then put the alluminum foil over the top of it and push it down inside of it a little to make a little bowl for the tobacco. Poke about six or seven little holes in the aluminum foil. And that is how you make the gravity bong. To use it all you have to do is put the 2-liter bottle in the water and push it all the way down, but dont push it to far down just push it to where the water is almost up to the aluminum foil and then put the tobacco in it and hold the lighter close to the tobacco and pull up on the bottle. The suction pulls the smoke inside the bottle and when you get the bottle almost out of the water, pull the aluminum foil off and put your mouth over the hole and push the bottle back into the water. The pushes the smoke down your throat.
Cigarettes are a thin cylinder of finely cut tobacco that is rolled in paper for smoking. There are also many manufactured cigarettes that also have filters on one end that are intended to trap some of the toxic chemicals contained in cigarette smoke. Tobacco and ammonia are contained inside cigarettes. Tobacco is a green, leafy plant that is grown in warm climates. Ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3. With these conditions, cigarettes are hazardous to health. They also have a complex of 7,000 chemicals. Another important factor of what cigarettes contain is nicotine. Nicotine is a toxic colorless or yellowish oily liquid that is the chief active constituent of tobacco.

Cigarettes are a product that has been around for a long time. Smoking Tabaco was the rave ever since the mynas started growing it, dating back to 600 – 900 A.D. The Europeans then found out about the plant when they traveled from Europe over the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. Ever since then Tabaco has been used for a lot of products including Cigars, dip, and most importantly Cigarettes. Cigarettes are a combination of tobacco and other additives that is rolled into a paper cylinder. Over 4000 chemicals are found in cigarettes and 60 of them are known to cause cancer.

There are so many tobacco flavors to choose from that are more pleasing than that of a cigarette. Also, smoke sessions with hookah last anywhere from 2 to 3 hours versus the few minutes with a cigarette. Another reason for his phenomenon is its “particularly appealing to younger college students under the legal drinking age who wish to socialize and/or smoke” (Baheiraei et al, 2015, p 2752). As long as you are the legal age of 18 years old, you can frequent a hookah lounge. However, more importantly I believe this behavior exists because of its communal experience that everyone is able to enjoy. I also feel that there is much weight placed on the fact that many people don’t find hookah smoking harmful compared to cigarettes, although they may have the same toxins. In a research completed to see why hookah smoking was so appealing, it was founded that “in the data suggested Millennial hookah users had commonly held beliefs that hookah use was non-addictive” (Castañeda et al, 2016). Also, there are so many experiences that involve hookah smoking such as “the hookah pipe preparation process to mixing flavors and performing smoke tricks” (Castañeda et al, 2016) which makes it an exciting
Eighth grade was the first time I saw my friends smoke at a party, and at first I couldn’t believe they were already addicted to cigarettes at such a young age. After being offered a few cigarettes and turning them down, I started to build up a curiosity about why cigarettes were so enjoyable to people. Eventually I confronted a friend, and she said she wasn’t exactly sure as to why she liked them but she assured me that she only did it when she was drinking. I figured I would try it thinking it must be something incredible. Turns out, it’s not great at all. I started coughing and it didn’t even taste good. While it caused me to have a ten-minute buzz afterwards, it seemed pointless to every smoke again. Another reason was that I was afraid of becoming addicted, and why would I ever want to pay that much money for something that would eventually kill me? It’s still hard for me to understand why anyone enjoys smoking, but after taking this course I can at least understand what initiates the addiction
Like I stated before, cigarettes are made up of more than 4,000 toxic chemicals that enter your body considered as poisons. Cigarettes mostly have a tobacco blend, paper, PVA glue to bond the outer layer of paper together, and producers often also a cellulose acetate–based filter in the cigarettes. They contain over 100 ingredients, and to mention just a few of them, one is called Cadmium which is used in batteries; That has to be healthy right? Cigarettes also contain Arsenic which is a lethal poison that is used to kill mammals, and Naphthalene which is a moth repellent. Led is the last ingredient I will tell you about because it can lead to many health problems like memory loss, and abdominal pain.
