People are getting into the habit of going to hookah lounges to enjoy a hookah experience. A hookah is a small waterpipe that is used to smoke tobacco through the pipe. The hookah works when charcoals are heated with air that goes into the pipe, mixes with water in a special chamber, and comes out of a tube to your mouth in a mouthpiece to smell the smoke. Sometimes, the charcoals are heated wrong or are too hot, at which time a person can be injured from the hot coals used in a hookah.
If you are injured from a hot coal burn injury at a hookah lounge, you can call us at the Normandie Law Firm today. We can advise you as to your next steps, and help you to initiate a lawsuit on the merits of your case for personal injuries.
Hookah Burns from Hot Coals
A person can be badly burned from a hookah coal used to smoke a hookah. The charcoal used in the hookah or shisha is an olden tradition used in some Middle Eastern and Asian cultures.

Burns can be first, second or third-degree in severity. A first-degree burn has the symptoms of:
- Redness
- Painful to the touch
- Mild swelling
Second degree burns are more intense, and typically show:
- Deepening redness of the skin
- Pain
- Blisters
- Glossy appearance to skin
- Leaking fluid from the skin
- Loss of skin
- Skin peeling off
With the development of third-degree burns, you can expect to see:
- Loss of layers of the skin
- Can be painless

Full Thickness Burns from Hookah Coals
People can develop a full thickness burn from an interaction with hookah coals. These types of burn injuries often require grafting or need to have surgical procedures to reduce additional scarring that can occur, once the area burned starts to finally heal.
Contact burns from a hookah can be very serious and painful. A hookah is typically smoked in a lounge, where burns are quite common. If you are burned in the hookah lounge, do not feel embarrassed or ashamed of you having been burned. Many people are burned this way, and never report their injuries for being afraid of how it will look to do so.
How Does the Hookah Coal Burn Someone Smoking on a Hookah?
Hookah coals are often made from natural coconut shells or other materials to make the coal cubes. The coconut coals are preferred for use in a hookah, because inferior coals will not burn as clean as coconut coals. The coconut coals are considered the best coals to use in a hookah, but they typically make a higher heat when using the hookah.
When coals are extinguished at the end of the hookah session, they are usually just put out with water. The same coals can be used again after they dry out. But, if the coals that were watered down to cool them are lit again with water still in the coals, it can be a recipe for disaster. Smaller hookahs use around 2 coals, whereas larger hookahs use around 4 coals.
