Philip Morris phasing out cigarettes?

markus · Nov 30, 2016

What will this mean for pipe smokers?

Are they going to make pipes that work like these IQOS things, that just heats the tobacco up?

I wonder what this will do for the taste of the tobacco?

Maybe it will make it taste better. I have always heard keep your heat low and just roast the tobacco for more taste.
Phasing out cigarettes

Interesting.
I'm not sure if it would affect artisan tobacco, per se... you know, if quality tobacco survives another generation, or increasing FDA regulations.

Pipes that work like those things are the same glass pipe vaporizers that crack and meth heads use. They can easily be used for pipe tobacco, but... they give you that crackhead look.
The keyword in the headline for that article is "Could."

This doesn't look like a glass pipe to me. If anything it looks more like the e-cigarette.

pipesmokingtom · Nov 30, 2016

I don't even own that yet, and I've already lost it. CURSES!

cosmicfolklore · Nov 30, 2016

No, I meant as far as pipes... it works along the same lines as those glass vaperizor pipes that crack and meth heads use. They put the stuff in a bulb, and the fire never touches the stuff to be vaporized. Yet, it heats it up slowly to have it give off a steamy smoke vapor. That thing you posted dopes the exact same thing, only without having to use a lighter to heat it up.

Ok sorry Cosmic, I had no idea that's how those glass pipes worked. I don't really have any experience with them, I guess I always thought that they applied flame to the "stuff" through the top of the bowl. Thanks for the info and I do agree with what you're saying.

Yeh, I had no idea either. But, thanks to cable TV, I am educated, ha ha.

Come visit my neighborhood -- you can observe tweakers in their natural habitat.

They might have an alternate plan for the USA if the Nazi Anti Smokers get any worse, but I've read where their money comes from 3rd world Country's , lots of money.

Andre Calantzopoulos, PMI's chief executive, says he would like to work with governments towards the "phase-out" of conventional cigarettes

Just like they worked with the government/FDA to phase out pipe tobacco manufacturers.
Thus leaving Philip Morris selling their "healthy" Iqos smoking device to the masses. Philip Morris doesn't care about anyone's health; just the health of their bottom line.

There I was striving toward just heating the tobacco in my pipe and thereby avoiding tounge bite and hot bowels.

Whatever next, electric motorbikes?

cosmicfolklore · Nov 30, 2016

Oldreddog, there are already eBikes... https://www.specialized.com/us/en/bikes/turbo?gclid=CImSkKa70dACFY-GaQodwJYLlw

ophiuchus · Nov 30, 2016

No more Marlboros? Oh, boo hoo. :lol:
This smacks of public relations bullshit they'll string along for years.

jpmcwjr · Nov 30, 2016

I thought the turbo e-bikes would have a webbed seat through which cool air was blown, thus avoiding hot bowels.... No? Oh, well.

papipeguy · Nov 30, 2016

Thus Sprach Vapers. No surprise here but the Asian market is till huge for regular cigarettes.

ophiuchus · Nov 30, 2016

Thus Sprach Vapers.

:rofl:

Jpm you got the deliberate spelling mistake /swipe at irony and then used it yourself, chapeau!
Cosmic I have seen those mechanical doping machines. I was having a go at the Zero TT

.....wanders off muttering about the smell of two strokes....

A better comparison would be to that of existing dry-Herb vaporizers. Meth crystals melt, and the glass pipe is referred to an an oiler or oil inhaler, or even eucalyptus inhaler. Point is, that shit melts and evaporates. the oiler works by giving it a reservoir to melt, and then a place to spin the liquid to that is of higher temperature (since the sides will get hotter where there is no melted meth). Pretty much nothing is left after a bowl of meth, unless it's just dirty. A herbal vaporizer heats the leaf up just enough so that the oils release and evaporate without causing combustion. In the end, you are left with spent-leaf which is discarded. With marijuana, this gives you a better THC to CBD ratio in your smoke (more high than stoned). I guess for tobacco it just releases the nicotine? I dunno...seems like a good way to lose a lot of soul from the tobacco leaf and of all the compounds, is nictine on the low melting point side of things?
