Due to the health risks associated with smoking hookah, it’s highly likely that it could be outlawed at some point. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that smoking hookah retains all the carcinogens of cigarette smoke while adding more carbon monoxide and extra carcinogens from the use of burning coals. Also, a hookah user inhales 100 to 200 times the volume of smoke inhaled from a single cigarette.
But in case you get the urge to participate in hookah before it’s outlawed, here are the top hookah bars in America.
