  1. I have noticed a lot of people who use shisha are now using electronic cigarettes or
    what they refer to as "E-Shisha". They defiantly seem to be quite popular and you can get them in all the flavours normally associated with shisha pipes; apple, strawberry etc.
    Hopefully this trend will continue and the health problems from smoking tobacco and shisha will be reduced
