         2 . The aspiration member according to  claim 1 , wherein the length of the aspiration tube is greater than 100 cm, preferably greater than 140 cm, when it is used. 
     
     
         3 . The aspiration member according to  claim 1 , wherein the length of the aspiration tube is smaller than 10 cm in the storage position. 
     
     
         4 . The aspiration member according to  claim 1 , wherein the connector includes at least one filter, preferably a carbon filter. 
     
     
         5 . The aspiration member according to  claim 1 , wherein the connector includes a valve suitable for prohibiting air from circulating from the aspiration member toward the main enclosure of the hookah. 
     
     
         6 . The aspiration member according to  claim 1 , wherein the connector and the aspiration end-piece are suitable for being assembled together directly, preferably by screwing. 
     
     
         7 . The aspiration member according to  claim 1 , wherein the aspiration tube is kept in the storage state by a blocking part including a fusible zone, preferably, a bar able to be broken. 
     
     
         8 . The aspiration member according to  claim 1 , wherein the aspiration tube is mounted in a plastic envelope in the storage position, preferably, vacuum packed. 
     
     
         9 . The aspiration member according to  claim 1 , wherein the aspiration end-piece is telescoping. 
     
     
         10 . The aspiration member according to  claim 1 , wherein the inner surface of the aspiration tube is covered, in whole or in part, by an absorbent material that is nontoxic for human health, in particular cotton. 
     
     
         11 . The aspiration member according to  claim 1 , wherein the aspiration end-piece includes a valve suitable for prohibiting air from circulating from the aspiration member toward the main enclosure of the hookah. 
     
     
         12 . An aspiration member for a hookah, said aspiration member including a connector suitable for being connected to a main enclosure of a hookah, an aspiration end-piece suitable for being placed in the mouth by a user and an aspiration tube, suitable for being mounted between said connector and said aspiration end-piece, the aspiration member being characterized in that it includes at least one valve suitable for allowing aspirated air to circulate and preventing blown air from circulating. 
     
     
         13 . A hookah for smoking tobacco, including a main enclosure suitable for receiving water, including at least one opening, and at least one aspiration member according to  claim 1 , mounted in said opening. 
     
     
         14 . The hookah according to  claim 13 , comprising a ventilation system suitable for forcing air to circulate from the main enclosure of the hookah toward the outside in order to discharge the smoke from the main enclosure. 
     
     
         15 . The hookah according to  claim 14 , wherein the ventilation system is activated manually or automatically. 
     
     
         16 . The hookah according to  claim 14 , wherein the ventilation system includes a smoke sensor suitable for measuring the smoke density in the upper part of the main enclosure and suitable for emitting an alarm or activating the discharge of the smoke if the smoke density or if the concentration, density or toxicity of carbon monoxide in the smoke exceeds a predetermined threshold. 
     
     
         17 . A hookah including a main enclosure suitable for being filled with water, said main enclosure including a conduit connecting the inside of said main enclosure to the outside of said main enclosure, the hookah includes at least one ventilation system mounted in said conduit and suitable for generating a circulation of air forced from the inside of the main enclosure toward the outside of the main enclosure so as to discharge the smoke from said main enclosure. 
     
     
         18 . A method for assembling an aspiration member according to  claim 1 , the connector being assembled with the aspiration end-piece, the method comprising:
 a step for separating the connector and the aspiration end-piece; and   a step for mounting the aspiration tube between said connector and said aspiration end-piece.
