Background: The nargile (NAHR-gee-leh), or Turkish water pipe, is an old way of smoking Turkish tobacco. Sometimes called a hookah, hubble-bubble, or sheesha. It was very popular during the Ottoman Empire from the 17th to the 19th centuries, but saw a fall-off in demand in the Turkish Republic as tobacco-lovers switched to cigarettes. After World War II, it was mostly old men who smoked nargiles.
