The note addresses classification and tax treatment of hookah served within restaurant premises, applying ejusdem generis to read "any other article for human consumption" as limited to substances ingested via the alimentary canal; smoke inhaled from hookah therefore falls outside the food/drink concept. It concludes hookah supplies constitute a composite supply whose principal element is the goods used for smoking, so the transaction is treated as supply of goods under the principal-supply rule.
