A hookah isn't a bong at all. Hookahs have been around for around 500 years. The tobacco is not lit with a flame but rather baked. The bowl is much larger and is covered with a piece of perforated foil or metal. A hot coal is placed on top. This way, the heat is only pulled over the tobacco when someone draws in from one of the hoses. Unlike a bong where a flame is used and the smoke can still be harsh. A hookah gives you smooth smoke. You will not even feel it in your lungs at all. Also unlike a bong which is designed to condense the smoke and shoot it up the tube into your lungs quickly when you shotgun it. A hookah lets you draw the smoke in smooth and slowly. There are bongs with hoses, and maybe some people call them hookahs. But they are not. About the only thing they have in common is the use of water to cool the smoke.
