During the early 80s, hookah tobacco producers started to innovate their cigarettes to add in various fruity flavors. While some hookah smokers still prefer a strong Turkish tobacco, many delight in the large assortment of flavored tobaccos, often called shisha. Lemon-cola, apple-mint, vanilla, and honey are just some of the wide-array of flavors showcased by hookah tobacco.
Each pack is usually sold at $4 to $17 depending on its quality while an assorted pack is sold at $30. The price in most lounges for a bowl of hookah tobacco ranges from $4 to $9 for slower burning leaf or custom blends. Since hookah tobacco is seen to contain certain amount of wetness, hookah charcoal are used to smoke it up.
To successfully dry the wetness, tobacco is heated using either a wire mesh or tinfoil.
It takes considerable amount of time to actually dry out the damp tobacco. In the past, among those rituals and traditions surrounding the lighting and smoking of the hookah, or narghile, were strict prohibitions against lighting the tobacco incorrectly--or even allowing a cigarette smoker to light their cigarette off of the hookah coal.
The material make up of hookah is actually 30 percent tobacco and the 70 percent fruit flavors. It contains .05 percent nicotine and most types contain no tar.
Researches have supported hookahs like the mya hookah for its determination to get rid of tar while still smoking. However, concerns about the length of time smokers generally spend around a bowl of hookah tobacco do warrant consideration, and studies have shown that carbon dioxide intake is actually higher in hookah smoking.
Despite its uncontested claim of zero tar effect, hookah smoking still draws in large number of crowds.
