Smoking hookah is a social activity with a long history and customs. To be polite and follow the unwritten rules of hookah smoking, here are some things to keep in mind:
1. Use your right hand
Using the right hand shows manners for hookah smokers. In some parts of the world, using your left hand is considered disrespectful and unclean. So, by using your right hand, you show respect for the shisha as well.
2. Sharing
When you use hookah, you can also openly share the experience, from your flavor to others if they want to try. You can also offer it to people who smoke, but it’s not polite to offer it to someone who doesn’t smoke.
3. Stay away from non-smokers
It’s common sense that you should keep your distance from non-smokers. If they come close, you can politely remind them. Hookah emits more carbon monoxide than cigarettes, which is not healthy for smokers or those around them, including children.
4. Avoid lighting cigarettes from hookah charcoals
Use a lighter or another method to light cigarettes, as using hookah charcoals for this purpose is considered impolite.
5. Don’t puff the hookah arrogantly
When taking a puff from the hookah hose, inhale and exhale gently, allowing your friends or others to do the same. Don’t be overly aggressive in your smoking.
