Im lazy so im not going to post any wiki links or anything so you can look the Hookah up for yourself on google.
I own two hookahs and have been smoking them for about 3 yrs. If you do buy one you should definitely look into properly setting it up on a forum such as hookahpro.com, hookahforum.com, hookahdomain.com
You can smoke either washed or unwashed tobacco with flavored molasses, they come in a large variety of flavors. You can also buy herbal molasses which contains no tobacco, no nicotene and no tar. Another note on the tobacco is that washed = less nicotene and unwashed = high nicotene.
Smoking the Hookah, nargileh, shisha is highly enjoyable. I find my self using it almost everyday for 30-60min a session, and when im out and about I use my e-cig. In terms of comparing the two, for me the decision comes down to convenience and ease of use going to the e-cig and awesome flavor and relaxation going to the hookah.
Again there is controversy over the health aspect for this form of smoking. Not much tests have been done even though its been prevalent for quite a while, even in the states. Most people swear its not even close to cigarettes and they cite several reasons why this is the case.
One of the best herbal shishas is called Salaam and if youre looking for profound flavor, huge clouds, no nicotene, and no tar in a smoke check this stuff out. For tobacco choices Al Fakher is a popular company of washed tobacco and Nakhla is popular for unwashed. These tobaccos are produced in the middle east and if youre wary of this fact, you can get american made shisha tobacco which is usually slightly more expensive but very popular as well; good companies to look for are starbuzz, tangiers, fantasia...you can find reviews for flavors and companies on the forums I mentioned above.
