    Milford (WTNH) - Milford Health Department has closed down a hookah lounge for the second time on Saturday.

    "Inspection of the operation not only confirms but deepens our concerns about health hazards posed by the practice of hookah smoking," Dr. A. Dennis McBride, City of Milford Health Director, said in a news release.

    Olive Tree Hookah Lounge, located at 2007 Bridgeport Avenue, was closed for the first time June 25, 2009 after the health department rescinded its June 19, 1009 closure. Both closures state concerns about the public health hazards posed by hookah smoking.

    The Olive Tree Hookah Lounge is an establishment where people can pay to smoke flavored tobacco through a water pipe, known as a hookah.
