The origins of shisha date back to the 16th century in India, when it was invented by a Persian physician to reduce the health risks of smoking. It quickly spread to Persia, Egypt, and the Ottoman Empire, becoming a central part of social life. In Syria, shisha is enjoyed in cafés and at home, where people gather to relax and socialize. The practice of smoking shisha is deeply embedded in the cultural fabric, representing hospitality, tradition, and communal enjoyment.
