Angreji me te hookah e kahya karen par baaki bhashayan me kai naam sain iske A hookah (Hindi: हुक़्क़ा, Urdu: حقّہ hukkah) or shisha (Arabic: شيشة‎)
Depending on locality, hookahs or Shishas may be referred to by many names: Arabic Language use it as Shisha or Nargeela or Argeela and they use it throughout the whole of the Arab World; Turkish people use it as Narghilè but pronounced "Argilah" is the name most commonly used in Turkey, Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Lebanon, Syria and Palestine. Narghile derives from the Persian word nārghile, meaning coconut, which in turn is from the Sanskrit word nārikela (नारिकेला), suggesting that early hookahs were hewn from coconut shells.In Albania, Bosnia, Croatia the hookah is called "Lula" or "Lulava" in Romani, meaning "pipe," the word "shishe" refers to the actual bottle piece.
Shisha (شيشة), from the Persian word shīshe (شیشه), meaning glass, is the common term for the hookah in Egypt and the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf (including Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, UAE, and Saudi Arabia), Palestine and in Morocco, Tunisia, Somalia and Yemen.
In Iran, hookah is called غلیون "Ghalyoon". In Uzbekistan, hookah is called "Chillim". In India and Pakistan the name most similar to the English hookah is used: huqqa (हुक्का /حقہ)

Every thing has some positve and negetive things in it......
Hukka smoking is one of the important part of jat culture .
It plays important role in making people socially close . and good object of entertaintment , as they sit together and talk with each other

[aryasatyadev]

None of them is good for lungs. It is like asking ,'' Mouth cancer is better or Lung cancer''?

Hukkah among jats is famous for its usage as a tool of socialization since older times as jats had hardly used another intoxicants. By default this was the option, I guess.

Is it the emdorsement of the views or just because there is no other choice

The new studies shows that A leisurely hour of puffs from a hookah packs the same carbon monoxide punch as a pack-a-day cigarette habit, thereby reducing overall expenditure

Meera Ji, it is not only Hukka or cigarrette or bidis which are reducing breathing capacity on a person but there are many other factors like the atmospheric pollutants which includes fumes from gasolene, kitchen fumes and closed well packed homes and also to some extent altitude....... among all these Hukkah etc are a smaller part, a drop in ocean......

A drop in ocean ,Arya Ji, have a look:-

It’s confirmed. If you wish to have a long and healthy life, then you better heed those warnings on cigarette labels. An independent research by the Canada-based Centre for Global Health Research (CGHR) on the effects of smoking on Indians has revealed some startling facts. It predicts that by 2010, at least 10 lakh will die annually (1/10th of the total) due to smoking.


Dr Prabhat Jha, lead author of the research team from St Michael’s Hospital, University of Toronto, says that illiterate people have more to fear.


“More than half the people killed due smoking are from rural backgrounds. This is because they are not able to understand the labels printed on the back of cigarettes. Pictorial displays are more effective than written,” says Jha.


The study was conducted over a period of three years (2001-03) in over 6,671 randomly selected areas across the country. Around 900 field workers went door-to-door to collect data from all adult deaths that occurred in at least 1.1 million homes.<<<--

If you don't rely on Indian sources, here is what WHO says:=
Tobacco is no doubt the single most cause of death in the world. Tobacco kills more then 5 million people which is much much more then HIV/Aids, tuberculosis, malaria combined. By 2030 tobacco is going to kill 8 million people a year.

Meera first of all thanks for a good post.
But I differ on the point highlighted above. Does the author think people who can read don't smoke? Do they take the warning seriously?? Perhaps not. Even the pictorial representation won't help to reduce the number of smokers. Smoking is a huge problem in our country. Even after passing laws you can see people smoking people at public places.

Some people smoke for stress relief, some for leisure, some think that it is a status symbol. Children at young age perhaps think on the latter part and thats the age where parents need to be cautious for their child. If they are able to stop their child from smoking at early age, I think the count of smokers will reduce drastically. It is not the warning presentation which is not able to control the smoke chain, but the guidance of individuals on how they percieve the things in front of them and their intution.

It has no relation to background whether rural or urban. People in rural areas die due to lack of medical facilities rather than any other reason.
