Hookah is the grandaddy to vaping. A special tobacco called shisha is put in a bowl and heated with charcoal. The bowl is mounted over a container of water or other liquid, like alcohol. One or more hoses pulled the smoke through the liquid giving you a cool smoke. It's smoke not vapor, though. At a hookah bar, they set it up for you and a group of people take turns, using their own mouthpieces on the hose. Some hookahs have multiple hoses.
