Is pipe tobacco healthier than cigs?

[Naer]

Also, I know it looks smarter(Ala Sherlock Holmes)

But is it more hip? Wondering if I would look cooler

No, but there are different pipes out there, some with filter chambers you "could" put a filter in. Unfiltered is unquestionably worse, though being much harsher, a person might smoke less, but in general the immediate rush of higher concentration nicotine from a pipe would tend to reinforce the nicotine habit more, yet on the other hand a pipe is less convenient so that alone might result in smoking reduction.

It's a bit like asking if it's healthier to step out in traffic in front of a minivan instead of an SUV. If you can't break a nicotine habit, vaping is the way to go, but not the generic crap from ***** which has who knows what in it.

Why of course it is...Pipe smoking has taken the already-cool practice of smoking to a whole new level of hip and intelligent. You should definitely take it up.

I had one of the small e cigs at one point. Didn't feel real to me. i got the highiest nicotine content, held in vape for a bit and had a bad headache. Vaping seems like the diet coke of nicotine, It just does't feel satisfying. Perhaps it's cause the e cig was so small and it wasn't much vape

Just smoke a cigar and drink a Jack & Coke like I do. You'll be cooler and attract all the babes in no time. Trust me.

+1 on the cigars. Also, when you smoke them be like Bill Clinton and don't inhale.

well its already been established they put a lot of crap in cigarettes you dont actually need. Strangely I dont recall any executives at Philip Morris heading to prison.

No tobacco is "good"

You never inhale cigar smoke in the first place, regardless of Clinton or whom ever. You just puff on them.

Depends on if you like lung cancer or mouth cancer.

And some people can look good with a pipe others look absurd. usually the people who are already cool look cool. You should stick to chewing gum.

I smoke cigars occasionally and I never inhale the smoke into my lungs. Not sure why anyone would quite frankly.

Fuck that shit...man the fuck up and INHALE!

If you don't inhale the cigar smoke, you're just a poser, pretending to smoke.

While I appreciate a good cigar I find its an expensive stupid hobby. That said, pipe tobacco probably has a higher oral cancer rate than cigars.

 

[BurnItDwn]

When I smoked a pipe, I smoked less than when I used to smoke cigarettes because of the hassles and work involved. However, I still smoked, so still was at risk for a plethora of cancers and heart diseases.

So I quit that shit.
Still have a cigar once in a great while, but, try to limit myself to just a handful annually.

As dumb as blobfish are, and yes they are as dumb as they look, they still aren't dumb enough to smoke.

I do love a good cigar but I only smoke a handful per year and I don't buy or keep boxes of them around. I just buy them for the occasion and enjoy them individually. The cost is minimal.

 

[FerrelGeek]

Same here. I have a smallish humidor for that rare occasion when I have a few lying around and don't want them to dry out.

Long time pipe smoker.

i would lean towards no. Cigarettes have harmful chemicals which pipe tobacco does not; however, they pale in comparison to the list of substances given off by combustion, which all tobacco has. Also, the quantity of smoke you will be inhaling is far bigger in pipe smoking.
If you think you won't be inhaling that pipe smoke .. well, good luck with that.

Having said that, pipe smoking is delicious. When you start buying good quality tobacco, and making your own mixes, the pipe is in another world completely.

I have a pipe.

And by pipe, I mean one of those ones that blows bubbles. You know, a real manly one.
