Keep a small fire extinguisher near your couch. I have one at the end of my couch. I am not going to ad to the crotch image, but I do hope you have someone to help you with this...

If you have ever seen a mattress or couch take off burning you will be VERY careful of fire around any stuffed furniture. From the time that it finally bursts into flame until it is a roaring inferno is seconds.

Damn, you guys really ran with that one, didnt you? In all seriousness, thanks for the responses. I might have to figure out somewhere else to smoke or find a way to not get ashes and embers all over the place. Any ideas?

Don't fill the pipe quite so full and exercise care when tamping. Smoking with no shirt will quickly train you to be careful! LOL!

Of couse it is a fire hazard. Shoving any stick in your mouth that contains a slow burning ember is a fire hazard. Be mindful of what you are doing and the hazard will not demonstrate it's potential to cause harm. A sharp knife is a hazard but if you are mindful of how sharp it is while using it you will never get cut.

Update: Thanks to the information presented in this thread, I no longer smoke on my couch. I still smoke in the living room, but I have wheeled my office chair in there, and my lighter, matches, pipe tool, and ashtray all sit on a glass table.
