Guide on How to Setup Your Hookah

Hamas, the fundamentalist group that controls Gaza, has decided to ban women from smoking hookahs (traditional Middle Eastern water pipes) in cafes, partially out of fear that this leads to dissolution of marriages (the government claims that some men have divorced their wives after seeing them smoking and sitting cross-legged). This has angered many male and female residents who have few available leisure activities due to the blockade of Gaza by both Egypt and Israel. Hamas has also been cracking down on all sorts of pastimes, forbidding women from riding motorcycles and often routinely stopping couples and beating them if they fail to produce marriage licenses. while many in this relatively conservative Muslim area have supported the new morality initiatives, those in the secular minority have felt that they are extremely unfair.

The more conservative countries in the Middle East also frown upon hookah smoking, with Saudi Arabia imposing a total ban for both men and women. however, Israel’s more immediate neighbors …

… (Syria, Lebanon and Jordan), which are somewhat more secular, allow women and men to smoke hookahs together. Many of the woman affected by the ban have no problems with not smoking openly in public with other men, but they claim that most of the smoking occurs behind closed doors in private cafes and clubs, which are often intentionally sex-segregated to avoid the wrath of the plain-clothed “morality police.” those that do currently smoke argue that the ban will only make hookahs more desirable as they will be seen as taboo and thus especially appealing to young women who want to rebel against their repressive parents (indeed, this would seem likely as their is also growing demand for hip-hop music and other forbidden items from Western culture). Despite all of the negative press the ban is getting, the Hamas interior ministry has said that they are not trying to make Gaza into an Islamic theocracy:

“if we wanted to make Gaza like the Taliban, then we could have done that very easily.”

What do you think? is this really an anti-divorce measure or are these erosions of freedom really a slippery slope towards an “Islamic republic?” will we see more initiatives like Iran’s recent attempts to stop outlandish male hairstyles and make sure women veil themselves properly?

Hamas Bans Women From Smoking Hookahs, Continues Attempts to Impose Strict Islamic Values – Zelda Lily, Feminism in a Bra

By Harsha Sharma Contributor, BBC Manchester Muslims go without food or drink for the holy month of Ramadan

The mouth-watering smell of a succulent chicken tikka is tempting enough for anyone visiting Manchester’s Curry Mile.

But what must it be like working in a Rusholme curry house or cafe while also trying to fast?

Islam requires all Muslims to abstain from food, water or smoking during the daylight hours of Ramadan.

Rusholme’s restaurant staff explain how they’re surviving the holy month while surrounded by temptation.

Hectic

Mohammad Javed works at Sanam restaurant in the heart of Rusholme, taking orders and serving diners with their meals.

As someone who has fasted every Ramadan for 40 years, he agreed that fasting around food was certainly a challenge but said the hectic nature of his job proved a helpful distraction.

"On an ordinary day we barely have time to think about eating," he said.

"during Ramadan it gets even busier as we host nightly celebrations where Muslims open their fast amongst family and friends."

I used to struggle with hunger pangs when I first started working but it soon becomes routine Mohamed Mahr, Chilli Peri Chicken

Adding: "Physically, we do feel weaker without drinking water but it’s all about mental strength. We don’t think of ourselves making food, it is just a business product at the end of the day."

Across the street in fast food outlet Chilli Peri Chicken, chef Mohamed Mahr agreed.

"I used to struggle with hunger pangs when I first started working but it soon becomes such a routine that it’s not an issue."

"Giving up food over Ramadan is almost enjoyable because it makes us realize how lucky we are.

"It’s the cigarette cravings which cause me more grief," he said.

Smoking

The Curry Mile is also home to a growing number of shisha cafes popular with men from the Asian and Arab communities.

They gather to talk and smoke using shisha or ‘hookah’ pipes, but this also has to be sacrificed by Muslims during Ramadan.

One such place in Rusholme is the Cafe Lounge run by Faisal Khan.

"In my heart, I’m feeling tempted but in my head I know I should ignore the cravings," he said. "it drives me crazy!"

For the thirty days of Ramadan, Faisal faces the dual challenge of giving up both cigarettes and shisha while continuing to run his business.

"every year my friends and I try to prepare ourselves with new tactics and strategies," he said.

"But they become useless once Ramadan starts and I see others smoking in front of me!"

"I can just about struggle through the hours of fasting but start smoking again once I open my fast at night.

"I avoid speaking to people during the day as I’m a bit of a wreck."

For other cafe owners, the temptation of working during Ramadan is just too much and they shut up shop for the month.

"I don’t think I could avoid picking up a shisha pipe if I was working, I’m so used to it," said shisha cafe owner Lafi Albadri.

"I would rather miss out on business than slip up," he said.

While a busy job may be the answer for those working around food, there is help available to quit smoking during Ramadan.

Co-op pharmacies are holding ‘Stop Smoking’ sessions for Muslims trying to kick the habit.

These support sessions could provide invaluable support during Ramadan especially for those whose jobs are an everyday temptation.

Starbuzz Exotic Tangerine Dream Shisha Video Review HookahPro.Com UK

I recently bought a hookah and it is working well, but i don't know when all the shisha has been smoked. Do i have to take of the foil and check or will there be a difference in taste?

it will start to taste really nasty, and unclean.

How to know when I have smoked all the shisha?

A sunny Thursday afternoon in August and the cars circling Harrods need to be seen to be believed. Million-pound Bugatti Veyrons – normally a rare sighting, even on the well-heeled streets of Central London – are, around here, about as common as Ford Fiestas.

Other cars, in a display that could rival anything in Monaco or Goodwood, drive round and round the block, pausing at the rear each time to see if their masters are ready for collection.

In the cafes surrounding the department store, every single table is taken by people from the Gulf states and the Middle East — Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Dubai.

Welcome to Knightsbridge — or, as it is better known to locals, ‘Little Kuwait’.

For British residents, the summer is all about anescape to the sun; a fortnight in the South of France, the Italian Riviera or Spain. We Brits want sand, sangria, heat and a swimming pool. Anywhere but the sticky, filthy city.

For the mega-wealthy billionaire families of the Gulf states over here this summerwill tell you that they come to London because, unlike in the U.S. or France, they are made to feel welcome,’ says Hussam Baramo, the Syria-born features editor at Al Quds newspaper, a daily paper widely-read by Middle Eastern people in London. ‘They like London because they think it’s safe and friendly.’

And here, they can bring their cars with them. Around the corner from Harrods, Isaw one Veyron with every inch of its bodywork coated in gold; another, chromed all over.

Behind it, I watched a Veyron in pearlised white with shiny chromium wings making a noise like a scalded Rottweiler.

The Saudi number plate on this car was ‘999’. I watched the driver get out. he was around 25 and dressed like an off-duty Lewis Hamilton. I complimented him on his car and asked how he got it over to London. ‘In my plane,’ he said, grinning.

The car was parked in a pay-and-display’ bay, but its driver did neither. The auto show continued with a Rolls-Royce Phantom customised with a stainless steel bonnet. The number plate on this car is simply ‘1’. later that day I Googled this vehicle and discovered that a couple of years ago its Dubai-based owner paid

Look, up in a shopping mall! It’s a hookah lounge! It’s a bar! It’s Nu Sanctuary!

Yes, it’s Nu Sanctuary, a restaurant that came to Town Square with powers and kitchen abilities far beyond those of mortal mall eateries.

Nu Sanctuary! that can change the course of mall wine bars with a good list, bend burgers into something magnificent and, disguised as a mild-mannered lounge next to a movie theater, fights a never-ending battle for edible truths, gastronomic justice and a better American shopping center way of eating!

Good mega-mall meals not involving franchised food and frozen yogurt are notoriously hard to find. in fact, you’d be hard pressed to name a gastronomic destination in any mall in Vegas that isn’t connected to a top-flight hotel. The daunting task of succeeding in this hostile environment has been taken up by Chef Brian Howard—an alum of Simon and Bouchon—who thinks his indoor/outdoor ambience and casual, wallet-friendly menu of small plates will woo diners away from the much more pedestrian fare of the competitors surrounding him.

Howard’s menu, obviously culled from his stints at those high-performance kitchens, is unlike anything you’ve ever tasted next door to a movie theater. Taleggio cheese-stuffed chicken in a bright, lemony beurre blanc (served with a fresh tomato and olive salad) or chickpea-crusted scallops over cauliflower “risotto” aren’t common fare for the Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D crowd, but Howard is banking on enough hookah-loving hipsters and gastro groupies to make all of his delicious efforts worthwhile.

Just as compelling are his deconstructed hummus (one with kick that every “Mediterranean” restaurant should take note of), a beautifully constructed carpaccio of “steak and eggs” and a spicy lamb tagine over Israeli couscous that showcases his love of strong, assertive flavors. He can even get molecular, as his addictive nitrogen-frozen caramel corn demonstrates. with each bite, you sense this kitchen’s talent at doing technically precise, sophisticated food at remarkably soft prices. one can only hope that baby-mama-stroller-pushers, and the audience for The Expendables (or the next Superman movie), will get with the program.

Hookah (water pipe) lounges are sprouting up everywhere. a medical journal says they are increasingly popular with kids, and, in Florida, at least, they are sidestepping state laws that ban smoking in public places like restaurants. Forty-seven of the 74 licensed hookah bars in Florida are within 10 miles of a university campus.  a recent Florida Youth Tobacco Survey found that in 2009 more than one in 10 high schoolers had smoked a water pipe. the study said:

“the prevalence of hookah use in Florida is 11% among high school students and 4% among middle school students.

“there is an upward trend in the life time use of hookah among Floridian adults, and the prevalence is highest among young adults ages 18 – 24 (24.2%). moreover, the prevalence of hookah use appears to be increasing among high school students in Florida.”

Hookah smoking is popular in Canada, too. Nearly a quarter of 18- to 24-year-olds questioned for a survey in a medical journal said they smoked a hookah in the past year.

Health risks

There is a popular notion that hookah smoking is somehow safer than cigarette smoking. but the study in the journal Pediatrics says differently :

“Little is known about the addictive nature or health risks of water-pipe smoking, but it may be at least as harmful as cigarette smoking. Similar to cigarette smoke, water-pipe smoke contains harmful constituents, including nicotine, carbon monoxide, and carcinogens. In fact, water-pipe smoke may contain greater amounts of tar and heavy metals, including cobalt, chromium, and lead, than cigarette smoke. Water-pipe use has been linked to lung cancer, heart disease, infectious diseases, and pregnancy-related complications, though the health risks are likely  influenced by the quantity and type of tobacco used, the duration and frequency of water-pipe use by the smoker, the volume of smoke inhaled, and the burn temperature.”

Regulation

In Florida, hookah bars can serve food, unlike restaurants, because, as Florida Trend explains, state law regulates lit tobacco. since the hookah tobacco is heated in a bowl, not lit directly, it is not covered by the tobacco ban. but opponents have other ways to shut the business down, namely taxes:

“In addition to a backlash from health experts and landlords, hookah bars also face tax issues. Eight years ago, soon after the advent of the hookah craze, the tax rate on tobacco in Florida was 25% of the wholesale price. Today it’s at 85%. the hookah industry, meanwhile, is keeping a close eye on federal legislation, H.R. 4439, which would raise the tax on hookah tobacco by 775%. the ‘Tobacco Tax Parity Act of 2010′ is intended to bring tax rates on pipe tobacco, which includes hookahs, in line with the higher rates imposed on rolled tobacco. but hookah proprietors say that a 250-gram (8.75 ounce) box of hookah tobacco that currently retails for $5.99 would cost more than $20 if this bill passes, which could put them out of business.”

Still, hookah cafes can make a lot of dough. Florida Trend found one supply shop that said it costs about a dollar to fill a bowl with tobacco, which a cafe usually sells for $20.
