ive always enjoyed the smell of pipe tobacco, and am going to give up cigarette smoking again.
i am thinking a pipe and good tobacco might help with the oral fixation part of it.

Will I look like a fruitcake with a pipe and pouch?
should I grow the requisite beard and wear my tiny round prescription glasses as well?

i always had problems smoking a pipe. as i automaticly inhale, which isn't the best idea with pipe tabacco. also by keeping the smoke in my mouth (instead of having it just floating through) my tongue was always complaining after is smoke a pipe (have same thing with cigares).

but anyway. maybe mouthcancer is better than lung-cancer;)

You will only look like a fruitcake if you grow the beard and wear the glasses :D

I've been piping for some years now. It's cheaper and more convenient than cigars. Be forewarned that while you won't be inhaling nearly as much, you are still exposing yourself to tobacco smoke, and will still be susceptible to mouth and throat cancer.

Avoid Dr. Grabow pipes and "drug store" tobacco. Stick to the brand name tobaccoes like Davidoff, GL Pease, Dunhill, Frog Morton, etc.

For pipes, you should be able to get some decent starters for around $60. Head off to the tobacconist and take a look. Try to find one that is thicker and has a bent stem. You really should smoke a pipe only once every few days, so you should try to plan accordingly.

You will also need a good lighter, tamper, pick, and some pipe cleaners.

And a LOT of storage space because you are about to develop a whole new addiction of amassing pipes and tobaccoes.

Yea grown a beard and let the smoke billow through it so it gets all nasty, yellowed and stained like you teeth and fingers. If you smoke it long enough your probably going to get throat or mouth cancer instead of lung cancer from Cigarettes............

TRY Nicotine Gum it works..............

My friend quit smoking after 30YRS using it..............

Nothing is going to work until youve decied its time to quit for real.....
