It's a drink from Oceania (Melanesia, Polynesia, and Micronesia) that is made from a plant's root. In some areas it has spiritual significance, and in areas of Oceania where it's been introduced recently it's primarily a recreational drug. It tastes very earthy and peppery, but that can vary between varieties. Its effects include euphoria, prosocial feelings, and mild (compared to alcohol) impairment of motor skills; on an empty stomach it can cause stomach aches.

Thank you. I had never Heard of it. It’s not that surprising they added it, In City Living for instance they had the bubble blowers thingies that are basically narghiles/hookahs.

I was surprised too.
"Are they introducing alcohol into Sims 4?" I thought. Maybe it's because I've been playing Medieval lately, where they all drink like fishes.
Then I remembered that it'd mess with the rating, and really, it's not a big thing. Not when we have swimming, dolphin friends, island stewardship, jet skis, volcanoes, and mermaids.
