A water pipe, hookah or bong is a device used commonly for smoking, usually tobacco (and less frequently Cannabis or other substances), in which smoke is bubbled through a chamber containing water. The bong enables the operator to smoke in a manner very different to what is possible with a simple smoking pipe or joint (spliff). Most bongs are designed to either cool the smoke before it enters the operators lungs, build up a large buffer of smoke which the user inhales quickly, or both. The word bong derives from the Thai word baung (ºéͧ) which refers to a cut off section of bamboo.
