     BACKGROUND 
     The disclosure relates to an atomization assembly and a hookah comprising the same. 
     Conventional hookahs are driven by a built-in battery to produce an open fire to heat the smoke materials placed in the atomization assembly. 
     SUMMARY 
     The disclosure provides an atomization assembly, comprising a high frequency heating module; the high frequency heating module comprises a metal screen and a magnetic induction coil; the metal screen is disposed in the magnetic induction coil and is configured to heat a smoke material placed on the metal screen in a power-on state. 
     In a class of this embodiment, the high frequency heating module further comprises a magnet and a handle; the magnet is disposed on a top end of the metal screen and attracts the handle. 
     In a class of this embodiment, the high frequency heating module further comprises an isolation tube disposed between the metal screen and the magnetic induction coil thus isolating and protecting the magnetic induction coil; the isolation tube is a glass tube or ceramic tube. 
     In a class of this embodiment, the high frequency heating module further comprises a first seal ring and a second seal ring respectively disposed on two ends of the isolation tube to seal the metal screen. 
     In a class of this embodiment, the atomization assembly further comprises a first cover, a second cover, and a cup sleeve; the second cover is disposed on a top end of the high frequency heating module to cover the smoke material; the high frequency heating module is disposed in the cup sleeve; the first cover comprises an air vent and is disposed on the cup sleeve for air ventilation, and the handle is disposed on the first cover. 
     In a class of this embodiment, the atomization assembly further comprises a control panel, a power button, a funnel, a cup edge, a cup body, a silicone seal; the control panel is soldered on the magnetic induction coil of the high frequency heating module; the power button is disposed on the control panel; the funnel is disposed on the control panel to support the smoke material; the cup sleeve is disposed in the cup body; the cup edge is disposed on a periphery of the cup body to fix the cup sleeve; and the silicone seal is disposed on a bottom end of the cup body. 
     In a class of this embodiment, the atomization assembly is in the shape of a cup. 
     The disclosure also provides a hookah comprising the aforesaid atomization assembly. 
     The hookah further 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 suction nozzle 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 suction nozzle. 
     The following advantages are associated with the hookah of the disclosure: the atomization assembly comprises a high-frequency heating module. According to the principle of electromagnetic induction heating, when the magnetic induction coil is electrified, an eddy current is produced in the metal screen disposed in the magnetic induction coil. In this way, a heat is produced to heat the smoke material.

     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. 
     Smoke materials refer to smoke oil, tobacco, tobacco and other materials used to produce smoke. 
     As shown in  FIGS.  1 - 5   , a hookah comprises a handle  1 , a first cover  2 , a second cover  3 , a cup sleeve  4 , a magnet  5 , a metal screen  6 , a first seal ring  7 , an isolation tube  8 , a second seal ring  9 , a magnetic induction coil  10 , a control panel  11 , a power button  12 , a funnel  13 , a cup edge  14 , a cup body  15 , a silicone seal  16 . The metal screen  6  is disposed in the magnetic induction coil  10  to accommodate and vaporize a smoke material. The first seal ring  7  and the second seal ring  9  are respectively disposed on two ends of the isolation tube  8  to seal the metal screen  6 . The isolation tube  8  is disposed in the magnetic induction coil  10  thus isolating and protecting the magnetic induction coil  10 . The magnet  5  is disposed on the top end of the metal screen  6  and attracts the handle  1 . The magnet  5 , the metal screen  6 , the first seal ring  7 , the isolation tube  8 , the second seal ring  9 , and the magnetic induction coil  10  form a high frequency heating module  17 . The high frequency heating module  17  is disposed in the cup sleeve  4 . The control panel  11  is soldered on the magnetic induction coil  10  of the high frequency heating module  17 . The power button  12  is disposed on the control panel  11 . The funnel  13  is disposed on the control panel  11 . The cup sleeve  4  is disposed in the cup body  15 . The cup edge  14  is disposed on the periphery of the cup body  15  to fix the cup sleeve  4 . The silicone seal  16  is disposed on the bottom end of the cup body  15 . The second cover  3  is disposed on the top end of the high frequency heating module  17  to cover the smoke material. The first cover  2  is disposed on the cup sleeve  4  for air ventilation. The handle  1  is disposed on the first cover  2 . 
     The hookah further comprises a water container  18 , a first air channel A and a second air channel B; the first air channel comprises a first end  19  connected to the atomization assembly and a second end  20  submerged below a liquid graduation line  21  of the water container; the second air channel comprises a third end  22  connected to a suction nozzle  24  and a fourth end  23  disposed above the liquid graduation line  21 ; when in use, the water container  18  is filled with water; the smoke produced by the atomization assembly enters the water from the first end  19 , is filtered by the water, escapes from the water, and flows to the suction nozzle  24 . 
     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.
