How much do you smoke?

[drsam]

I have been wondering if I smoke too much. I seem to go through at least a pound a month

of my favorite tobacco plus a bit of "try outs" that I sometimes get hold of.
Do any of you guys keep count?
Some statistics might be worthwhile, at least to me.

 

[mlaug]

Only once or twice a day, so I go through tobacco rather slowly.

 

[atuukson]

2-3 working days, 4-5 weekends

 

[robs]

Much the same here. How much is too much? :D

I smoke less in the hot weather, but as winter is arriving.... No Holds Barred.

I'm pretty much settled into a pattern of one morning smoke and one evening smoke. On the weekends there might be an extra thrown in, but that's about it. I spend a large portion of my days at work indoors, and smoking all day long is just not an option. I should say though, only getting two smokes per day really makes you appreciate it. Will it take me longer to become a learn'ed veteran of the pipe-smoking art? Yes. That's okay. I got nothin' but time 8)

Bah, I am a complete smoking lightweight. I only have time on the weekends. So, I get 3-5 bowls in over a couple of days and maybe a few cigars. My tobacco supply is going to last me for years at the rate I'm going through it!

I kept a log of what I smoked last month to answer this very question. It came out at a little over 9oz in 4 weeks. I would probably smoke a fair bit more, but I only smoke outside as I live in a smoke free house.

 

[philip]

I usually just have one bowl in the evening.
I'd smoke more if I could, but for me it's a matter of time. I don't light up unless I have a good hour to relax and enjoy my smoke. When I have time during the day, I am often in a place where smoking is not allowed.

 

[olderthandirt]

Had been 3 to 4 bowls during the week, 6 or more in the weekends.

Since becoming un-employed I'm not sure how much I'm smoking any given day but it has increased.

Always keeping several jars open at a time makes it hard to come up with a number for amount, I'd take a guess at perhaps 3/4lb a month at the outside.

I was doing about 3 bowls per evening in the Summer. Lately it's been only one or two, and I skip a day or so here and there. On the weekends I

tend to do a bit more.

 

[buster]

I am a light weight, only a few bowls a week. Maybe a bowl when I am doing yard chores. I tend to want to smoke more than I am able to but I guess that just makes me appreciate it more? I'm going to pack my large pipe for fishing tomorrow and that should last me all day.

 

[brewshooter]

Yeah, when I'm camping or vacationing, I find I have way more time to relax and enjoy the pipe. I have been enjoying snuff from time to time on weekdays.

 

[macnutz]

So far I'm going through a little more than half a pound a month.

 

[mp31guitar]

I try to get at least 1 bowl a day. More on the weekends.

 

[macnutz]

Ha, I feel better now. My only real world pipe smoking friend was quite taken aback when I mentioned that I have about eight bowls a day. He seemed to think that was way over board, like it was a very unusual amount.
I used the pipe to escape my cigarette habit. I have a well entrenched nic addiction. Without the pipe, the cigs will be back in a flash. Still, my friends' reaction was so strong it bugged me. I'm glad to see it was his inexperience talking. Of course, he still smokes cigs and cigars as well as the pipe.

How do you smoke 8 to 12 bowls a day? Not because its wrong but just the sheer time and mouth fatigue seems like it would be impossible you would almost always be blowing smoke out of your mouth. I smoke very sporadically I would say several bowls a week. I don't smoke in the house and I just don't have much time to sit down and chill with the pipe.

 

[aussielass]

At least x 3 a day but expect it will be a lot more when I can finally let go of the cigars which is my aim, except for my 3 morning "wake up" ones.

 

[matchstickman]

Before I took my vow to put the pipe down for the novel, I was smoking two a day if I was lucky. Most times its just one per day, and Im good. Some days, I dont smoke at all.

 

[drsam]

I never counted bowls....I get up between 4:00 and 6:00 and make a pot of coffee stuff my first pipe

and go from there. i usually end up abot 10:00 or 11:00 with my last bowl. I pack fairly loose and smoke all the way to the bottom. I usually use 3 to 4 differant pipes a day and try to give them a few days rest. I usualy buy a pound or a pound and a half of tobacco a month and have little or none stored. When I was on cigars I would

go thru at least six or seven each day.
Guess I am just an old nicotine addict.
