Well see I was thinking weed as well, because outside of the states, my understanding is the most common thing to smoke in a hookah is hash or marijuana, that's at least been my direct (though admittedly brief) experience. Since this happened somewhere outside the US, I thought maybe it was... but now it sounds more like it might just be tobacco.

Yeah, no shame in any of it. It's very bad for your health. If it's your thing, you either outweight or ignore the risks. That's why, for me, I smoke very, very rarely.
