How Many Bowls do You Smoke a Day?

[bullet08]

Two or more ways to get hooked on cig. Nicotine, and habitual are two big one. If it's nicotine, you have to somehow lower the dosage till you don't need it anymore. Habitual smoker who isn't hooked on nicotine, yeah really, just need something else to distract from smoking. I suggest sex.

I'm more than likely hooked on nicotine, but don't really have problem quitting when I want. Don't get addicted to too many things. When I quit first time when my first son was born, I throw away the last pack and Bic and that was it. Second time, I didn't want to quit. So used vape. Then realized, I like tobacco. So started smoking cig again. I know it's not good for me, but I prefer smoking over not smoking.

3 to 4 per day.

I have time & opportunity to do more, but I feel like the experience diminishes if I smoke more than that. And I think that's because I retrohale almost 100% of the time. I get the most flavor that way.

Never understood addiction.

Then read up on it, both types, physical and mental. Increasing your knowledge about will be an asset when dealing with those with an addictive personality in particular. Life ain't as simple as you seem to believe. It's not easy living with an addictive personality. A little understanding might help you to empathize with others. That's a great thing, empathy is.

One or two a week! Very little compared to most on here.

It varies for me quite a bit. When I’m in New York, it’s usually none. All of my pipes are in Pennsylvania. I’ve thought about keeping some in New York, but there usually isn’t enough time to smoke after work on those days. Other nights, I can usually fit in two different pipes in an evening, with each pipe lasting ninety minutes to two hours of smoking time. On Saturdays, when I watch UFC (more often than not, a six hour event, followed by an hour long post-show), I usually use a larger chambered pipe which will last four to five hours depending on the cut of tobacco. I’ll sometimes have a pipe before or after that in the more normal ninety to one-hundred-twenty minute smoking time range.

Usually 4 or 5, 3 minimal.

I seem to average one bowl every other day. On days that I smoke two bowls, I find I enjoy the second significantly less.

I also prefer to smoke when I can just stop, sit, and enjoy. I rarely smoke while I'm doing something else like yard work or what have you.

I usually smoke 2 to 3 bowls/Day. Trying to quit the vape so need to smoke more. The Problem is I can only smoke in the kitchen.

For me it has varied a fair amount over the decades. When I would allow myself to smoke my pipe as I please, unfettered, for a lot of years it would average between 8-12 bowls a day. When I have tried/worked at being “regulated” in some fashion, sometimes it would be (a challenging) zero, or up to 1-4 bowls a day.

 

[Gimlet]

At least ten. I'm unmarried and live alone so I smoke what I like, when I like and where I like. But like @Snook I like to take time to enjoy my smoke, so never while I'm working or otherwise occupied. I want to be able to settle down and enjoy my pipe, so mostly I smoke from my armchair in the evening but I also greatly enjoy a bowl when I'm driving.

 

[HawkeyeLinus]

Spring, summer, fall probably 1.4 on average. Winter more like .57.

 

[HeavyLeadBelly]

Two to three before my mouth gets wiped out. Maybe I need to break my tongue in some more…

One in the morning with coffee and sometimes a second.

To me a pipe is not a nictotine drip while working, but a complement to relaxation in the evening. It is an enjoyment for when the day's work is done -- like a cup of tea. My ideal is one pipe each evening.

After surviving cancer, I thought that I'd go down to smoking just one day a week -- on Sundays. Just to play it safe.
But lately I've been smoking about two bowls each evening -- mainly because I'm excited to try some new blends.
Soon I should settle back into smoking just on Sundays (and special occasions).

 

[B.Lew]

As much as possible. Some days are more conducive to this than others. I don’t smoke inside the home as I’m the only smoker in the household…amongst other reason's.

 

[LEP7cv]

two pipes a day, keeps the bad spirits away!

Always glad to see you around here, no matter how (in)frequently you may post in WAYS.

Haha, I really enjoy browsing WAYS, and when browsing I often think, "I really should post more of my smokes here..." But I rarely do. I'll work on that!

 

[Milverton1868]

Just one a day maybe two.

 

[Sobrbiker]

0-10 lately.
I only smoke outdoors, and I work outdoors, so work days I get the most in.
It’s been wet, humid, and cold here (for the desert) so home smoking has dialed back.
