Shisha Smoking at Lunch

For lunch today they took me to a Lebanese restaurant so everybody could smoke the shisha pipe (we may call it the hookah pipe). 

Ancient tradition in the Middle East is to smoke the shisha, drink Arabic coffee and talk. I decided not to smoke since the last time I smoked one I got really dizzy. But it smelled good. 


The secretary here told me that most people have one at home and most nice restaurants have them. You order different flavors of tobacco, the shisha boy adds hot coals and starts it off by puffing on it for you.  The tobacco does not burn, so you get nice flavor but no nicotine to get addicted to. It reminds me of the flavored E-cigs at home, only much bigger
