Hookah, waterpipe, shisha... no matter what you call it, its use has increased dramatically in the last 15-20 years. To the point of becoming a particularly popular practice for many Gen Zers.

However, shisha bars and the use of hookah have gone increasingly mainstream in the country over the last few years, thanks in particular to rap culture as showcases in this genre -- essentially near-private performances by artists -- are hot tickets in these establishments. This has contributed to a large proportion of young people in the country embracing these spaces, much in the way the bistros of last century were meeting places where groups would gather to converse over food and drink.
