@Zamora I probably find enough cig butts while litter picking to fill my pipe a million times...
(I wouldn't but it's a figure of speech). Worst areas for them are around pub doorways.

When I'm smoking a pipe and my friends smoke their cigarettes, I sometimes ask them, how would it feel to smoke a pipe. They usually say they lack time and interest. Recently though, after watching me smoking pipe after pipe for some years, one of them asked, where could he get a pipe for himself. I had one extra MM corn cob, which I gifted him. The point in this very insignificant story is that I think there still remains some hope.
And of course, as said, we never know what will be trendy in future...
For my part, I'm going to smoke pipes, and if asked, tell about the joy of smoking them.

I started pipe smoking this past year. So there is a new wave of folks, small of course. I do hope a sub-culture large enough to carry some tobacco and pipe production continues. I got two friends started since I started, I will continue to try to pass it on!
after seeing your beautiful estate pipes represented here i thought you were lifelong pipe smoker
I will be
. I just get deep into things I like.
Now anti smoking ads are blaming Big Tobacco for the litter and pollution butts cause. Funny, I remember when those same groups claimed cigars and pipes were worse than cigs because they don't have a filter (never mind pipes do have optional filters).
Yeah and honestly I don't want it to become a mainstream trend like the Cigar Boom of the 90s. The cigar industry was able to recover from the Boom but I don't know that pipes would be. I'm with you, as long as enough people are into it for the industry to stay profitable I'll be happy.
So did I. Clearly he does his homework before buying
It’s a know fact pipe smokers are smarter, better looking, have a better chance of becoming rich and are better lovers. Is it any wonder we scare off so many of the young males these days? They just can’t handle all that.
My wife aghees, at least when it comes to me. And being reasonably youdg still, sometimes it really is a bit too much to handle.

Pipe smoking in the United States, 1965-1991: prevalence and attributable mortality - PubMed
If current trends continue, pipe smoking will become extremely rare in the United States by the year 2000. Reasons for the decline in pipe smoking may include the lack of appeal of pipe smoking to women and adolescents or the increasingly unfavorable image of smoking behavior in general...

1095 deaths attributable to pipe smoking in 1991 but 830 in 1965. Given the 12% drop in pipe smoking over those years, something doesn't add up. Still good odds though.Member Les Young shared this article on a Facebook page. I had not see this previously, nor a study completed in the modern era.

It will for the most part end when the last of the pipe tobacco blending houses see it as not profitable to stay in business and many factors can determine their demise. I suppose there will always be home blenders using whole leaf tobacco making up their own blends to smoke in a pipe though.
In the 5 years that I have smoked a pipe, I have smoked it in public a total of 2 times. Smoking my pipe is a personal and meditative time of day for me. I do it to get away from everything.
