Etymology

The term 'shisha' comes from the Persian word 'shฤซsha', which means glass. The device itself has its roots in the Middle East, particularly in countries like Iran and Turkey, where it was traditionally used for smoking flavored tobacco in social settings. The shisha's design includes a bowl for tobacco, a body for water, and a hose for inhalation. Historically, the creatures that would accompany smoking sessions served as symbols of status and kinship. The shisha spread across various cultures, evolving in design and use over the centuries. In contemporary settings, shisha lounges have become popular, particularly among younger generations who enjoy the experience of smoking flavored tobaccos in a casual atmosphere. The globalization of shisha has resulted in a diverse marketplace for flavors and brands, catering to a wide array of preferences and experiences.
