Do flavored tobaccos, such as those used in Nargila, require Hashgachah?

Nargila tobacco, which is nicotine free, is available in numerous “flavors”. This product does not require Hashgachah when smoked, as smoking is not Halachically considered consumption, and therefore is not a Kosher concern. However, the practice of smoking in general raises serious halachic issues, and we strongly recommend consulting with your local learned Orthodox Rabbi about the issue of smoking.
