A better diagram would make the article look nicer.
[edit]The cartoon style diagram used currently is unprofessional. A style similar to this would be ideal: https://imgur.com/a/ZtowKoI
The mathematics of the bong could be elaborated on. See www.tiny.cc/smokeDoja for some context on bong mathematics

A word irks me
[edit]In the bong shown in the photo, the gas flows from the lower port on the left to the upper port on the right.
The word gas sounds pretentious, smoke would be more appropriate.
Don't mean to be rude.

Hakim Abul Fath invented the waterpipe in India, and discovered tobacco
Tobacco wasn’t discovered by this person. It was discovered in ancient Mesoamerica. 2001:5A8:611A:2000:41F9:A215:4646:A1D0 (talk) 03:41, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

- The page for Hookah (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hookah) has a clearer explanation: tobacco was introduced into India when Catholic missionaries presented it to Akbar the great. Hakim Aboul Futteh Ghilani, his physician, invented the hookah. Numerous sources on that page attest to this.
- Source 1: Rousselet, Louis (1875). India and Its Native Princes: Travels in Central India and in the Presidencies of Bombay and Bengal. London: Chapman & Hall. p. 290. ISBN 978-81-206-1887-9. "According to tradition, it was here that he received the Jesuits of Goa, who brought him the leaves and seeds of tobacco; and it was at Futtehpore that Hakim Aboul Futteh Ghilani, one of Akbar's physicians, is supposed to have invented the hookah, the pipe of India."
- Source 2: Sivaramakrishnan, V. M (2001). Tobacco and Areca Nut. Hyderabad: Orient Blackswan. pp. 4–5. ISBN 978-81-250-2013-4. "The hookah is of historical interest. Portuguese merchants introduced tobacco leaves and European style pipes into Bijapur, the glittering capital of the Adil Shahi kingdom. From here, Asad Beg, the Moghul ambassador in Bijapur, took a large quantity of tobacco leaves and pipes to the Mughal court. He presented Emperor Akbar with some tobacco leaves and a jewel-encrusted European style pope. Out of courtesy and curiosity, Akbar took a few puffs, but his personal physician was worried that tobacco smoke, a hitherto totally unknown substance, might be dangerous. So, he suggested that the smoke be purified by passing it through water, before being inhaled. Thus, the hookah, or water pipe, came into being." Bf011 (talk) 04:51, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
