The hookah was inventend in India as a means of smoking TOBACCO. Turkish hookahs seem to be the most popular. Westerners adopted it as a means of smoking MARIJUANA.

An Eastern smoking pipe designed with a long tube passing through an urn of water that cools the smoke as it is drawn through.

Tobacco smoking was not the original use of hookahs, as there are many examples of hookahs in both art and archeology prior to the arrival of tobacco in the Old World. In this period, the substance most commonly smoked in hookahs was hashish. After tobacco was imported from the Americas in the 1600s, hookah use became more widespread because of tobacco's milder effect.

Opium, previously taken orally and mostly regarded as a medicine, was added to tobacco and smoked from the 1800s onwards. This mixture, called "madak", turned out to be more addictive than orally-ingested opium and created many social problems, especially in China. Although the practice of smoking opium and hashish in hookahs is not extinct, today hookahs are generally used for smoking tobacco, or cannabis.

A multi-stemmed, often times glass based water pipe originating from India. From India, it was made popular as the form we now see it in today in Turkey. A common taboo many Westerners do on accident is to pack the bowl with anything other than tobacco. This is frowned upon, but generally practiced in drug based societies because of the smoother, cooler smoke said hookah emits.

It's debatable if it's as harmful as cigarettes.
If a health nut/vegetarian who lives off tofu and kale eats peanut butter, it probably won't be that great for them. But for a fat guy who lives off McDonald's and junk food, peanut butter is a better choice. Same basic principal.
