Water pipes is the preferred euphemism.  The head shops can be touchy if
you're to, um, forthright with your terms.  We had a Green Party benefit
concert back in 2000, and a water pipe was the raffle prize.  I nearly
got smacked by the head shop man for using the "b" word.

Years ago, I worked graveyard at 7-Eleven.  We were prohibited by the
company from stocking zig-zags.  So people would buy and gut cigars of
their tobacco.
