Dokha (, "dizziness" or "vertigo") is a tobacco product, consisting of dried and ground tobacco leaves that have been flavored with herbs and spices. It originated in Iran around the 16th century. Unlike hookah tobacco preparations (usually called "shisha" or "mu'assel"), dokha is dry and does not contain molasses or water. Users smoke the tobacco blend in small quantities using a pipe called a midwakh. Because the midwakh pipe is used almost exclusively for smoking dokha, the terms are often used interchangeably.
