Intro: In the past year, the hookah craze has risen to a whole new level. Students find it to be a relaxing and communal pastime.
For creative writing major Jacob Moore, he sees it as a very social activity.
A hookah is a multi-stemmed, often glass-based water pipe device for smoking, originating from India. This however, has gained popularity in the United States recently.
"Everyone is drawing from the same source and with the passing of the pipe, it is very communal, which is something in this day and age that America has lost on a whole," Moore said.

Shaheen said students are the main customers at his store.
