Hookah is one of the most popular recreation habits across the globe. The styles and ways of smoking it has evolved over centuries since it was introduced. In medieval times hookah was viewed as a symbol of status. Hookah is known with different names in different regions of the world as shisha, smoky, marcel, hookah or narcissus, and is consumed for its soothing and energizing effects. Hookah tobacco is tobacco in the form of molasses consumed through a pipe or multiple pipes. The smoke passes through a liquid which is major water for a filtering effect which is believed to reduce the number of toxins entering with smoke. Traditionally, hookah tobacco was consumed in the Middle East, Mughal India, and various parts of the world since medieval times.

Global Hookah Market Revenue (US$ Mn), 2018–2028 

Hookah tobacco is becoming more and more popular by the day. Tobacco used for cigarettes is different from tobacco used for hookah. The hookah pot has several parts, which include a water bowl, a metal body, ahead with a hole in the bottom, and a hose with a tobacco or flavor holder. The device works by burning charcoal, then heating the flavor mixture. The fumes produced by charcoal help pass tobacco through water and hoses to the mouthpiece. The use of hookahs exposes people to tobacco smoke, which contains harmful substances such as carbon monoxide, heavy metals, tar and cancer-causing chemicals. There are many adverse effects of hookah for the human body which are increasing risks of heart diseases, cancer, premature skin aging, and several complications in the lungs.

Hookah tobacco is supposedly more dangerous to health than smoking. Although the tobacco industry has declined in a spiral, the hookah market has grown in different regions. The variety and innovative flavors offered to make these products very indulgent and attractive to consumers. For those addicted to smoking and willing to quit smoking (cigarettes, cigars, and other forms of harmful smoking), flavored hookah tobacco is still a selling point. Increasing social recognition and hookah culture in cafes and lounges is expected to drive the growth of the hookah tobacco market further.
