Khaled Hegazy replaces the embers on a hookah pipe as customers enjoy some hookah at Cairo Nights in San Francisco, Calif., on Wednesday, July 6, 2011. Khaled Hegazy started Cairo Nights when he emigrated from Egypt in 2009, but now San Francisco’s hookah bars might close under state and city laws that ban smoking in all indoor and outdoor dining areas. The owners of several hookah bars have spent years resisting, continuing with business as usual. Hegazy enjoys a steady stream of customers and promises to fight the city in court if they try to shut down his livelihood.
