Smoke & Culture: Hookah, Vibes, and the Immigrant Experience

Tonight’s episode was pure vibes! Abe Kamara and co-host Ms. B lit up the mic with a fun and unfiltered conversation about the rise of hookah culture in North America, especially in immigrant communities.

From its ancient roots to its flashy presence in lounges across the country, hookah has become more than smoke—it’s a whole lifestyle. Ms. B brought the facts, raising health concerns and calling out the nicotine denial in the culture, while Abe confessed he's never smoked it—but definitely admires the ladies who do! 😂

Together, they broke down the Top 10 hookah cities in North America (shoutout to Minneapolis for making the list at #7 👀) and explored how hookah has become a form of expression, escape, and social identity—especially among young immigrants.

It’s insightful, it’s light-hearted, and it’s all about community, culture, and the choices we make to find our joy. Whether you puff or pass, this one’s for you.
