Waterpipe accessories and their use
| Type | Usage |
| Filter | A device that can be placed on the tip of the hose, within the water, or between the hose and the head. It is usually marketed with claims that it reduces exposure to nicotine and tar, having some kind of filtering function |
| Mouthpiece | A short plastic tip (a few centimetres long) fitted into the hose as an extension to it. When sharing a waterpipe, each person would have his/her own mouthpiece. When the hose is passed, the smoker removes it and passes the hose, the person taking up the hose to smoke places their own mouthpiece on the hose. These come in different shapes, colours and materials |
