First there was crazy bubble tea, and now there's the hookah. And who would think that the latest craze would be smoking related. Smoking! I thought that was virtually outlawed and extinct by now.
We had no idea of this latest trend until we walked into Darvish, our local Persian restaurant, over the weekend. The beds along the walls of the restaurant were filled with young people who were clearly not there for the Kashk-o-Bademjoon or the kabobs. Next thing we noticed was the huge number of hookahs in the restaurant.
It turns this is not the only hookah place. Hookah lounges are being opened all over the country, mostly catering to the young and trendy. There are hundreds of shisha flavors that people can smoke. Just like with bubble tea, most common are fruit flavors, but it does not stop there. A lot of the shishas are imported from the Middle East and are perfectly legal.
