Smoking tobacco-free shisha: a revolution in the art of shisha
At El-Badia, we understand the passion that drives shisha enthusiasts, and we share that enthusiasm. Since 1991, our mission has always been to offer quality products that meet the diverse expectations and tastes of our customers. Today, we're delighted to tell you about a trend that's gaining in popularity: the use of shisha tobacco substitutes for a healthier and just as rewarding shisha experience.Traditional shisha tobacco
Traditionally, shisha tobacco has been appreciated for its rich aromas and the relaxation it provides. However, as a product containing tobacco, it is sold exclusively in tobacconists' shops and often at a high price. This represents a significant obstacle for many consumers. What's more, shisha tobacco contains nicotine, an addictive substance that can have harmful effects on health.Shisha tobacco substitutes: a nicotine-free alternative

Launched at the end of 2023, Zodiac is a major innovation from Al Fakher, the world leader in shisha tobacco. Made from tea leaves, this product is the quintessential tobacco substitute.

Preparing the hearth
To use shisha tobacco substitutes, start by preparing your hearth as you would with traditional tobacco. Fill the firebox with the substitute of your choice, taking care not to pack the product too tightly to allow good air circulation. If you use shisha cream, you can add it directly to the firebox or mix it with another substitute to intensify the flavour.Using the charcoal
Light your charcoal and place it on the prepared fire. Shisha tobacco substitutes react in the same way as traditional tobacco to the heat of the charcoal, producing a rich, aromatic smoke. Make sure you spread the charcoal evenly to avoid burning the product and to ensure an even smoke.Enjoying your hookah
Once you've prepared your chicha, all that's left to do is enjoy your session. Shisha tobacco substitutes offer a similar smoking experience to traditional tobacco, with rich flavours and dense smoke. Whether you prefer fruity, menthol or gourmet flavours, you'll find a substitute that meets your expectations.Brands of shisha tobacco substitutes available at El-Badia
