- Don't move the hookahs. They are expensive, fragile and the coals my fall and burn you, or someone/something else. If you want it moved ask!
- Consider this your warning.
- We will not make exceptions. Breaking these rules could get you kicked out and possibly banned from the Epicure Lounge. If you respect us, our equipment, and these rules we will respect you.
- Do not smoke other tobaccos, or other products around the hookah.
- Use the hookah hose with your right hand.
- When sharing a hookah and you're done smoking for the moment, place the hose down on the table for the next person to pick up. Don't pass it directly.
- Have the hookah placed in a neutral position to prevent tipping. Mind the hoses position so that tipping isn't an issue.
- There is no urgency or competitiveness when smoking hookah. The bowls last a long time, and this is a leisurely activity. Enjoy it.
- Don't take too many photos in a hookah lounge, it disturbs the atmosphere.
Etiquette
With respect comes respect. When you have mastered the hookah and demonstrate the social manners associated with it, you may have confidence in enjoying it anywhere in the world and in teaching others so that the proper etiquette is perpetuated.
