Responsible smoking
Enjoy responsibly: adults only, 18 years and older.
At ShishaTabak, we stand for responsible enjoyment. A shisha session is part of a pleasant evening with friends, but only for adults and with common sense. As a shisha shop, we take our responsibility seriously: we do not sell to minors and adhere to the regulations for tobacco products.
Below you can read about our principles, the facts about smoking, and where you can find reliable information.
Smoking is for ages 18 and older
Our products are intended for people aged 18 and over. A shisha session is part of a pleasant evening with friends, but only for adults and with common sense. As a shisha shop, we take our responsibility: we do not sell to minors and follow the rules for tobacco products.
Smoking, including with a hookah, is not without risk. Be mindful of your consumption and keep it to a relaxing moment, not for daily use.
