This is how a lot of the men in Yunnan smoke their cigarettes. Yes, I mean cigarettes, and yes, maybe some women too, but I only saw men smoking.
It's a big water pipe, probably more like a bong than a hookah (only because my perception is that hookahs are slightly more complicated, and this looks pretty simple, but I really don't know). You can see this smoker holding the cigarette with his left hand. This was one of the smaller pipes I saw; one of the largest stood about waist-high, and the security guard smoking in it was sitting in a chair with it held in front of him, almost like a cello. I could only wonder whether he carries it with him every day, or just leaves it at work and has another at home.
