     The disclosure provides an atomization assembly, comprising a metal cylinder and a magnetic induction coil; wherein the magnetic induction coil is disposed around the metal cylinder; when the metal cylinder is in an electrified state, a heat is produced to heat a smoke material therein to produce smoke. 
     The atomization assembly further comprises an isolation cylinder disposed between the magnetic induction coil and the metal cylinder. 
     The atomization assembly further comprises a fixing part and a silicone sleeve; the silicone sleeve is disposed around the magnetic induction coil; and the silicone sleeve and the magnetic induction coil are fixed in the fixing part. 
     The atomization assembly further comprises a first silicone seal, a control panel, a conduit, a second silicone seal, and a third silicone seal; the first silicone seal is disposed on a top end of the conduit; the conduit is in threaded connection to the fixing part to support the metal cylinder; the control panel comprises an output end soldered on the magnetic induction coil; and the second silicone seal and the third silicone seal are disposed around a bottom end of the conduit in order. 
     The disclosure also provides a hookah, comprising the atomization assembly and a water filter configured to filter the smoke produced by the atomization assembly. 
     The water filter comprises a water container, a first air channel and a second air channel; the first air channel comprises a first end connected to the atomization assembly and a second end submerged below a liquid graduation line of the water container; the second air channel comprises a third end connected to a smoke exit and a fourth end disposed above the liquid graduation line; when in use, the water container is filled with water; the smoke produced by the atomization assembly enters the water from the first end, is filtered by the water, escapes from the water, and flows to the smoke exit. 
     The hookah is portable, easy to carry, comprises no battery and is driven by an external power supply.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     To further illustrate, embodiments detailing an atomization assembly and a hookah comprising the same are described below. It should be noted that the following embodiments are intended to describe and not to limit the disclosure. 
     Definitions 
     Principle of high frequency heating: an alternating magnetic field is generated when an alternating current is passing through a magnetic induction coil. And an eddy current is produced when a metal conductor is placed in the alternating magnetic field, and the eddy current will make the metal conductor heat up. 
     Smoke materials refer to smoke oil, tobacco, tobacco and other materials used to produce smoke. 
     Hookah: long pipe for smoking that allows smoke to pass through a water container to cool it. 
     As shown in  FIGS.  1 - 4   , an atomization assembly comprises a metal cylinder  6  and a magnetic induction coil  9 ; wherein the magnetic induction coil  9  is disposed around the metal cylinder  6 ; when the metal cylinder is in an electrified state, a heat is produced to heat a smoke material therein to produce smoke. 
     Specifically, in certain embodiments, the atomization assembly comprises a top cover  1 , a mirror  2 , an upper cover  3 , a magnet  4 , an isolation cylinder  5 , a metal cylinder  6 , a fixing part  7 , a silicone sleeve  8 , a magnetic induction coil  9 , a first silicone seal  10 , a control panel  11 , a conduit  12 , a second silicone seal  13 , a third silicone seal  14 , a button  15 , a support  16 , a housing  17 , a base  18 , a mouthpiece  19 , and a sleeve  20 . The silicone sleeve  8  is disposed around the magnetic induction coil  9  to prevent the abrasion of the magnetic induction coil. The silicone sleeve  8  and the magnetic induction coil  9  are fixed in the fixing part  7 . The isolation cylinder  5  is disposed in the magnetic induction coil  9  to isolate the magnetic induction coil  9 . The metal cylinder  6  is disposed in the isolation cylinder  5  and functions as a conductor to heat the smoke materials. The first silicone seal  10  is disposed on the top end of the conduit  12 ; the conduit  12  is in threaded connection to the fixing part  7  to support the metal cylinder  6 ; the control panel  11  comprises an output end soldered on the magnetic induction coil  9 ; and the second silicone seal  13  and the third silicone seal  14  are disposed around the bottom end of the conduit  12  in order. The conduit  12  is disposed in the support  16 . The button  15  is dispose don the support  16 . The support  16  is disposed in the housing  17 . The mirror  2  is disposed on the upper cover  3 . The upper cover  3  is disposed on the top end of the support  16 . The magnet  4  is disposed on the top cover  1 . The top cover  1  is disposed on the upper cover  3  to seal the metal cylinder  6 . The base  18  is disposed on the bottom end of the housing  17 . The sleeve  20  is disposed around the mouthpiece  19  and the mouthpiece  19  is disposed on the base  18 . The conduit  12  comprises a bottom opening communicating with the mouthpiece  19 . The hookah operates to heat the smoke materials based on the electromagnetic induction heating principle. The atomization assembly comprises no battery and is driven by an external power supply. The button  15  is connected to the external power supply. Pressing the button, and the external power supply supplies power for the atomization assembly. In certain embodiments, the atomization assembly is combined with a water container for use. 
     Also provided is a hookah, comprising the atomization assembly and a water filter configured to filter the smoke produced by the atomization assembly. 
     The water filter comprises a water container, a first air channel A and a second air channel B; the first air channel A comprises a first end connected to the atomization assembly and a second end submerged below a liquid graduation line of the water container; the second air channel B comprises a third end connected to a smoke exit and a fourth end disposed above the liquid graduation line; when in use, the water container is filled with water; the smoke produced by the atomization assembly enters the water from the first end, is filtered by the water, escapes from the water, and flows to the smoke exit. 
     The hookah is portable and easy to carry. 
     In certain embodiments, the isolation cylinder can be made of ceramic, glass, quartz, agate, mica and jade. It has good thermal insulation and plays an important role in heat insulation protection of the magnetic induction coil. 
     The metal cylinder is a container with various shapes. Optionally, all or part of the metal cylinder is metal materials. 
     It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications.
