Turkish Nargile
The Turkish water pipe or nargile (sometimes also called a hookah or hubble-bubble) has been around for centuries. Contrary to popular belief, it is not an instrument to smoke hashish or any other drug. The only products used are different flavors of (Turkish) tobacco. There is nothing shady about this 500 year smoking tradition. It’s just a great way to slow life down and relax.
This particular nargile I found unattended when I was wandering through Diyarbakir, in Turkish Kurdistan. I wish I could go back to those times.

I have never been a smoker, but this type of pipe has always caught my attention because it seems to me that it is highly relaxing, so that its filtering of tobacco with water makes it less harmful. Maybe at some point I decide to try it. Greetings @nameless-berk
I'm surprised you haven't tried it still
The truth is that my wife has not left me ... Yes, I am a man controlled by his wife. I'll have to do it hidden.
How beautiful. I'm ecstatic and a bit jealous. I would like to visit such beauty.
Hookah in the East is a whole philosophy.
