Before now, it was mainly the next expensive thing in local bars, lounges and leisure centers which made it limited to a few set of people for a while. Recently, the women also took the stage as they are now seen in public, lost in the excitement of having a Shisha pot around. Lagos big babes no longer wait for lounges and bars to serve them Shisha as they now walk around with their own personalized Shisah pots not minding its size. The content of the pot varies depending on the woman’s personality and taste.

Some believe that smoking generally helps in reducing ones depressed state of mind and some sort of inspiration, having a smoke with lots of flavor and taste is a plus. The smoke usually has strong flavored smell that leaves little twilights of mint in the air; unlike the after effect of smoking Cigarette or weed which gives off a very disgusting strong smell that stays on the smoker’s cloths for a longer time. The fact that it is also not frowned at by all classes of the younger society is another assuring way to keep the habits afloat. Having a Shisha pot and knowing your flavors also gives off some societal glow to your personality as people term such people as ‘’up to date’’ in the world of trends. Amongst the men, Shisha smoking was upgraded from just the love of flavours which is now termed feminine to a perfect accomplice for a drinking spree. Men are always known to brag about how much they can drink; this helps them keep the balance and even meet up to targeted drinking levels. So Shisha is a perfect match when it comes with a glass of whisky or brandy. It is also another way to help mask out the socially ‘’unwanted’’ weed and cigarette with the perfume and flavor mixed with it. This helps in reducing the popular judgmental comments and stares while they smoke the hookah, as they are greeted with respect and are even envied by some.
