Hello my dear all LGs!
Warm greetings from Chittagong city, Bangladesh ⚘
“Smoking is very harmful for health!”
I think almost all people all over the world know this more or less !! But still millions of people in world smoke! Not only now a days matter! It started from a very ancient time !! Although it is a bad habit you can’t avoid it at all!!
It’s an essential part of …History…Culture…Civilisation…Art…Human life…so and so…??
I also smoked earlier but from March 2020 I have stopped smoking when the Covid 19 Situation started from our country!!! It needs just a strong mental determination to stop it and I already overcomed ???!!!
But my main story is not about smoking! My story is a specail smoking culture of Tribal people who live in Chittagong Hill Track.
Chagrachari, Rangamati and Bandabans Hills Districts are in Chittagong Hill Track and Soth Side of Bangladesh is under Chittagong Hill Tracks. Edge of Khagrachari and Rangamati Hills district touch the Indin Borders and Bandarbans Hills District touch Myanmar Borders.
Well, Now I’ll tell about the "special smoking by using a piece of bamboo". This is very favourite in all Chittagong Hill Tracks. Many smokers of those area use a big bamboo for smoking, It’s Local Name in Begali is “HUKKA” and tribal people call “DABA”
"What is the name of “DABA” at your area my Dear LGs??"
Actually this kind of smoking is "less harmful" than general Cigarettes and other smokings as much water put in the bamboo and tobacco smoke comes through the water with nice filtering then goes to mouth and lungs.
How to make “DABA”
you need a bamboo piece abou 3 to 4 feet long then make a hole in the middle of that bamboo. Then put a small pipe also made of bamboo branches and need one edge put inside the Bamboo and other edge keep at outside with a small plate with hole in the middle, then first put some tobacco paste then put some burned coils on it…then it is ready for smoking!! Very interesting??? Isn’t it?? Pls see the all photos I posted here:
