Hookah Culture - Mission Statement

HookahCulture.com is dedicated to bringing the resources of the growing hookah / shisha / nargileh industry, culture and society together in one place. Although this site may succeed very well in showing this classic pasttime to the Western masses, it is a definite goal to educate the masses in the correct behavior in all its aspects.

There are certain social behavioral patterns that are unique to the hookah smoking environment, and there is behavior that is definitely frowned upon in the environment.With correct behavior and manners unique to the shisha smoking experience, we are assured to be respecting the cultures which gave us this pasttime. To those oblivious or uncaring about correct behavior, you're ill-mannered prats missing the whole point, insulting to the rest of us.

Raise yourself above the common and mundane. Part of this task is learning some higher standards inherent in cultures different from your own. Urbane demeanor in conjunction with cultural sensitivity and knowledge is the key to successful integration of hookah smoking into Western society, as well as to make this quality activity endure. With these uniting factors in place, it can be said that hookah smoking can become a broader cross-cultural phenomenon.

As we venture forth into a new millennium, we're stressed out from normality, seeking a new niche and behavior to reinforce our potential sophistication. When we feel sophisticated, we have more potential for success. To achieve success, believe you are already there! We all seek a culture more liberating and better than our own. In the case of hookah culture , we may add this pleasure to our lives in order to help free our minds, surround ourselves with luxury, and integrate an extraordinary cultural element. With growing acceptance of this concept, we may cause a cultural and psychological shift among an elite group of bold voyagers...... Join us!

"My aim is to bring the joy of this experience to a much wider audience... It's an immensely relaxing and convivial pleasure... come and give it a try because you've never seen anything like it."
-- Daniel Mokades of Hookah Dreams, Brighton, UK

"The flavor and method of the hookah is the most eloquent and exotic in the world. It provides the maximum smoking pleasure and the highest conviviality. Traditionally in many parts of the world, smoking a hookah with someone expressed a gesture of trust and bonding. The ceremonial gesture has translated to our society in that the elevated status of smoking a hookah has been preserved, and that people who smoke one are above and beyond the norm of society. It is a complete experience."
