Hi, in Turkey the pipes are Nagiles (pro. nah-gillys), they are Shisha in Iran/Persian tea shops and Hookahs in Egypt.
My understanding is that when the UK brought in the smoking ban nagiles were deemed OK as they do not generally use normal tobacco. However, when Turkey brought in the smoking ban it was ALL smoking which of course meant no nagiles either! Doh!
