As this article hadn't gotten much attention in recent years despite dokha becoming a popular trend in the UAE and other places, I took the liberty of expanding upon it as much as possible, adding as many relevant resources as I could. There is a lot to learn about this trend, it's origins and the whole health aspect, as a lot of young people in these parts of the world are still unaware of the health risks. I would appreciate anyone helping expand more as research continues.
I'll update this as more things come to me.

The history section could use some expansion, as the only sources I could find were from retailers talking about their version of how the product was cultivated and produced, which may or may not be reliable. Internet sources are hard to come by, so perhaps print media might have something to offer. Mosesintheflesh ( talk) 16:18, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
The article currently claims that dokha originated in Iran in the 15th century. However, the primary ingredient is tobacco, which originates in the Americas, leaving less than eight years between discovery of the Americas and the creation of this modified tobacco product in the middle east. This is obviously unlikely. Catnapster ( talk) 15:05, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
Tobacco didn't reach Asia until the 16th century, so unless dokha was previously made with something besides tobacco, which should then be explained in the history, it did not originate in Iran in the 15th century. Aguilarp ( talk) 19:08, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
This is a rather informative article, however; it doesn't talk about the types of tobacco plant that is used. I think this would add to the depth of understanding of the subject. Also, I think the article should go further in depth on its origins in Iran, for example; where was it first recorded, what it developed from and for, etc. The article should also address the curing methods of this tobacco.
