Abstract
A mouthpiece is described that can be used with a water pipe to improve hygiene and performance of the water pipe. A cylindrical first portion fits within an opening of a water pipe and a substantially conical portion provides a substantially airtight seal with a smoker's mouth. The conical portion is constructed from a flexible material that deforms to fit the profile of the smoker's mouth. The cylindrical portion is constructed from a material that provides a snug friction fit with the opening.
