Hookah

So, you know how sometimes adults like to smoke things like cigarettes or cigars? Well, some adults also like to smoke something called a hookah.

A hookah is kind of like a big fancy water pipe. It has a long tube that you use to inhale smoke from flavored tobacco that's been heated up inside. People usually pass around the hookah to share with friends, kind of like how you share snacks or toys.

It might look pretty cool or fun, but smoking a hookah can be really bad for your health. Just like smoking cigarettes, it can cause lung problems and make it harder for your body to fight off germs. Plus, you don't want to get in trouble with your parents or other grown-ups if they catch you smoking!

So, it's important to stay away from smoking - no matter what kind it is - and keep your body healthy!
