    It is actually called “Nargile”. It used to be a cool novelty in Turkiye, but in later years everywhere in Istanbul is overcrowded with these and smells awful. There’s a certain technique to smoke this, so I don’t think he could be smoking that without losing the fire anyways.

    And I just noticed that the head piece to hold the burning coal is missing, so it is not even lit.
