			Hookah offers safe and relaxing alternatives
			 
			College students are always looking for the newest, hippest and easiest trends
			to keep their bored little minds occupied. While smoking weed will always be
			fashionable, it's illegal too. As an alternative, locals, young and old, are
			getting together to smoke the legal way, with the help of the hookah.
