"When you smoke a hookah, you have time to think. It teaches you patience and tolerance, and gives you an appreciation of good company. Hookah smokers have a much more balanced approach to life..." -- Ismet Ertep, a 71-year-old Turkish pensioner
"The important thing is not what you put in the pipe, but who is with you while you're smoking. In a cafe like this one, you find the good people, the old people, the interesting people. As long as there is a need for company and friendship, as long as people want to stop and think, there will be hookah cafes." -- Ahmed Metin, a 48-year-old Turkish sailor

A hookah is not just some mysterious and rather mischievious looking smoking bong, but it is a tool of used as a way to gather with people and be on the same plane of thought with them. Everyone is sharing the mouth piece everyone is smoking the same smoke. It encourages communication that is controlled and even respected through differences. I cannot form hatred or refuse to see one's perspective who is sitting next to me, as I smoke from the same pipe.
Wow...good one!
