Have fun with Shisha! [HCMC]

Smokers anyone?

------------------------------

Shisha or hookah as it is otherwise known, is a new smoking trend which is fast gaining popularity around the World. Shisha uses a single or multi-stemmed instrument for smoking tobacco, of which smoke is cooled and filtered by passing it through water with many fruit flavors. Shisha originated from India and then popularized in Middle East, Europe, North America, and Australia. The setup for a shisha combines a bowl containing the tobacco, one or many hoses for smoke flows, body and gaskets, a water jar to cool and humidify the smoke with fruit flavors, and an ashtray to catch ashes falling off the coals.

As this popular trend continues, more and more young Vietnamese and tourists are looking for bars or clubs providing shisha. Those bars and clubs offering shisha usually try to create a Middle Eastern environment with mysterious yellow lights, lounges, etc. Saigon shisha’s main ingredients are honey, some types of leaves, roots mixed with some fruit, and even coffee flavors. Youngsters love to have shisha as it is commonly believed that shisha would not lead to an addiction with the use of such ingredients.

On average, it costs around VND110, 000 (approx. 5usd) for one shisha which can be smoked for hours. Hence, you can smoke, drink, and have fun with friends for a whole night at a low cost. Below are some establishments which offers shisha.
