The prevalence of pipe smoking among adult men in the United States has decreased from 14.1% in 1965 to 2.0% in 1991 (4), and pipe smoking remains rare among U.S. women (<0.1% in 1991) (4). The prevalence of pipe smoking is highest among men aged 45 or older and in the Midwest (4). Pipes are commonly used by some populations, including American Indians (male prevalence = 6.9% in 1991) (5) and by both men and women in parts of China (20% prevalence in 1996) (6). The National Youth Tobacco Survey has measured prevalence of pipe smoking among U.S. youth since 1999. The prevalence of current pipe smoking has increased from 2.4% to 3.5% of middle school students and from 2.8% to 3.2% of high school students from 1999 to 2002; prevalence was higher among boys than girls and varied by state and ethnicity (7,8).

if I could I'd trade. I have the opposite issue with facial hair. I get five o'clock shadow at around five o'clock if I shaved in the morning. It takes a month to get a full on beard and less then three weeks before I have to trim a mustache to keep it from covering my mouth. It's annoying to have to shave that often.

I grew a handlebar moustache once, figuring nature had some way of keeping the mouth accessible so men wouldn't starve, but eventually gave up. If you see a guy with a handlebar, buy him an ice cream cone and get ready for some laughs!

Interesting, but what is the 'chalice segment'?
"By type, the hookah segment held the largest share in 2021, accounting for nearly half of the global smoking pipe market, due to easy availability of hookah items in online and offline sales channels such as specialized stores, bars & cafes, and others. However, the chalice segment is estimated to register the highest CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period, as chalice deliver a stronger hit compared to pipes with a spoon design."

I'm sure they're accounting for water pipes and bongs as well in there. It'd be nice to see the seperation between marijuana and tobacco as the reason for purchase.

Kidding of course, but OP’s inquiry didn’t seem all that real either, lol.
