It enables people to form a circle and engage in conversations with each passing of the hose. The good thing about hookah is that it vaporizes the tobacco instead of burning it. The smoke it produces doesn't have much of the harmful stuff - something like a vaporizer can similarly do.Clarice Fullingtonhttp://www.vaporizerusa.net/popular-vaporizers/digital-vaporizers.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213957868805369973.post-18056138665346851862011-04-07T11:04:05.833-04:002011-04-07T11:04:05.833-04:00I used to smoke it a lot last year.

There is a whole neighborhood of Granada where they have old tea houses called teterias. You can drink tea and smoke hookah in them. My favorite one had this delicious tea I've never seen in the states and crepes. I miss Spain. I think it's nice that you both try to incorporate little traditions from foreign countries into your life here.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15274591862559243657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213957868805369973.post-64032461196478581362011-03-29T11:40:45.787-04:002011-03-29T11:40:45.787-04:00One of the best nights I ever had was sitting arou...One of the best nights I ever had was sitting around a table with a few friends smoking hookah, just talking, relaxing, laughing at eachothers smoke "tricks", debating. We also shared a hose & I agree about the sense of cummunity it brings. Now, I think I'll go thru a few of my fave songs from Azam Ali and Niyaz and reminisce now... :)ash2885https://www.blogger.com/profile/13486038170908582302noreply@blogger.com
