Does anyone here enjoy the unique pleasures of smoking the HOOKAH? It is enjoying a new popularity in the USA, including Hookah bars, where you go and enjoy the smoking with others in a communal setting.

Seems a sensible approach to smoking, if there ever is such a thing as a sensible approach to smoking, that is, but somewhat cumbersome. Is it unique to places like the Middle east?

They're all the rage now with young people in Berlin and Warsaw with a few bars dedicated to their pleasures. I think that pot sometimes finds its way into the tobacco in Berlin, though not as far as I've seen in Warsaw.
There are special tobaccos on sale, blended to suit the pipes.
But personally I prefer a filter tipped ciggie.

Interestingly enough I will be close to Warsaw in July when we will be visiting friends in Poznan. This will be our first time in Poland so we're looking forward to the trip. We will also be spending time in Berlin. Yet another first

Poznan is a truly beautiful city - the main square is one of the best in Europe. When you're there, be sure to see the Ethnographic Museum, and look carefully at its architecture, which belies the building's former use.

Thank you cezarek. My friend mentioned how beautiful the place is, about the lakes and the town square. He did tell me about museums but didn't mention any in particular.
Is Warsaw far from Poznan? If it isn't too far I'd like to try and visit. Not sure when I will be back that way again.

It's a couple of hours on the train and worth visiting. The area around Poznan is only of passing interest, but the city is nice. I lived there for a year but prefer Warsaw. Poznan is probably a nicer place to visit though.

Still i haven't use the hookah, But i am really very excited for this form of smoking. Because i think its a traditional form of smoking. That is why i think its also a safe form of the smoking.... metal one hitters | metal smoking pipes

Smoking is a filthy habit that causes addition, ruins both health and lives.

Commiegirl, you are so negative and also, it's "addiction" not addition. On the positive side, just to have some balance, how good it is that grammar is the first of the Seven Liberal Arts and Sciences. OTOH, addition is part of Mathematics, another one of those cool and fun Liberal Art thingies.
Anyway.
To get back on topic -- yes, I have smoked a hookah; it was in New York City on my birthday when I danced with some Japanese chick, who was shaking her hip at me although I knew it was just get me to give her a good tip. I think one of the girls with us put some hash in the hookah apple stuff though.
Also, right before 911 I used to hang out with my Muslim buddy and we would go to the Turkish restaurant/bar near their temple on the Lower East Side (where they were selling incense, another filthy smokey thing that ruins health and presumably lives since they were allegedly using the incense profits to fund killing folks back home or so they say). They had their sinister beards and so did I.
