I don't know if it's that I'm too old or too Southern, but I'm convinced that I've never heard of hookah bars for at least one of those reasons.

Runs off to google... ETA: So, it's exactly what it sounds like. What exactly is put in said hookahs? Tobacco? The I-swear-it's-not-pot-herbal mix someone on GC was talking about a few days ago?

ETA: Oh, and Dee, you should take a philosophy class. I love it when I have truly inquisitive people in my classes!

Some people do put pot in hookahs, but that's not what it is designed for. It is designed for the smoking of flavored tobacco, similar to a standards pipe, except it is cooled by the water. They are a real big middle eastern thing, so any area with a large middle eastern or indian population will have them.
