One of our Egyptian neighbors smoking his hookah and contemplating on the fact that the water in the bowl filters out a large percentage of unclean pieces of tobacco and tar had a brainstorm :

“Why ,the vast majority of smokers today put a plastic mouthpiece on their hookah hoses to make them hygenic from previous users, lets go one step further and make a plastic mouthpiece that also filters any unwanted substances from the hose, such as tobacco flakes &fumes.”

This would also add to the security of the most sensitive smoker!

But how to filter? Many home water filter systems use charcoal to pass the water through and cleanse it, air systems too, why I remember 45 years ago finding a “Lark” brand cigarette and after smoking I tore apart to see it’s celebrated charcoal filter supposedly the cleanest cigarette smoke.

Basically at the Egyptian factory he has made a good sturdy filter that acts also as a mouthpiece, can be used 20 or so times. Inside you will find 2 super-thin mesh screens, a charcoal chamber enclothed in a plastic cartridge so each puff is actually 3 times filtered.

These great filter system mouthpieces may be purchased at “Smoking-Hookah.com” at this link :

Either in single packs of one for 20 smokes, or a five-pack which is good for 100 sessions.
