HUKKA CHILIM

 Everytime I hear the word HUKKA, the only thing that comes to my mind is the sound it produces.It is our very own traditional smoking mechanism and has been in use for generations for tobacco consumption. It consists of 3 main parts: HUKKA, CHILIM, and a PIPE.

 The top most part consists of  CHILIM which is a deep and circular container having a seperate inner section to place tobacco. The tobacco is then covered by coals on the top to slowly burn it. The middle part is the HUKKA which intern can be divided into 2 parts i.e a long slender body that helps the smoke to pass below and a water filled vessel at the bottom. As HUKKA does not have a proper filter, it is the water in the vessel that acts as one by attracting all the impurities to itself.The third part is the PIPE connected to HUKKA which is used to inhale the filtered smoke that comes out. 

But with increasing use of factory produced cigarettes, less accessibility and high risk to health; HUKKA consumption this has now-a-days only become a source of pleasure activity.
