Rent-A-Hookah

hookah is a great way to socialize, its not that bad and its better than cigarretes. i have one, it cost 50. its very cool to get together with some friends, smok, and talk. none of us blaze so its a good substitute.

Yes "Hookahs"...

Looks like a really dumb pastime.

I hate it when white people call it "hooka"

I think part of the lure of renting instead of buying one is the college demographic there. If you want to smoke a hookah very often and you're a regular mature adult with a house and a family and such, yeah, you'd probably money ahead to buy one outright. If you've got a hookah in your dining room or on the coffee table in the den, it's your house and your own business. But for college kids, many are still living under the scrutiny of the parents and other authorities like Dorm officials and such. They might want to use a hookah from time to time for get togethers or just to try it out of curiosity, but don't want to buy one and have to worry about explaining it to Mom and Dad or the RA when it's sitting out in their room. Even if you are genuinely only using it to smoke tobacco, you still don't want to try and convince your Mother of that when she sees it in the room she's paying room and board for. I think the rental appeal is in that it's a way to keep the hookah private.
