What is the history of hookah in Greece?

[nadellii]

I have recently seen quite a few videos of old traditional Greek music, and many of the singers seem to be singing and eating alongside a hookah pipe. I don’t really think that this is common in Greece nowadays, so I’m wondering what the history is behind this practice. Does anyone know how it was introduced in Greece and why it went away?

I don't necessarily associate hookah with Greece. There are some pics of family members with hookah but these were Pontic Greeks who became refugees to Greece in the early 1900s. Maybe this source has some info in it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hookah
