Best Answer

The author, Lewis Carroll didn't specify what substance the Caterpillar was smoking, so we are left to guess.

As the substance most commonly smoked in hookahs is flavoured or sweetened tobacco, this seems to be the most likely candidiate.

It is possble, however, to use a hookah to smoke opium or marijuana/hashish. Both of these were legal in Britain at the time the book was written, so it is not impossible that he is smoking one of these.

Of course, it might be that he is smoking none of these things, and is in fact smoking some Wonderlandish substance or something entirely nonsensical, jam for instance, or maybe toasted teacakes.
