Depends on the weather. I also smoke in my favorite restaurants, back before the plague.

Pipes don't leave that nasty aroma like cigarettes or cigars. Unless you smoke a latakia or a strong aromatic. I've found that aromatics, while they smell nice while burning, usually smell like ass after the pipe is finished.
I think most of the smoking laws are city ordinances. You can smoke in country gas stations, they sell chicken and have ashtrays on the tables. We have a few around here.
Yeh, it's just a few cities and/or certain businesses. Not the whole state.
Nope. They are not.
Smokefree Air Act | Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division
In the spring of 2008, Iowa lawmakers passed legislation to protect employees and the general public.
At least not in most states besides the south.
We have a state-wide smoking ban. I still know a few fine watering holes that will let you light up indoors.
In my years of smoking in bars, restaurants, hospitals, airplanes or pool halls, I have never seen pipes singled out and cigarettes and cigars allowed. It was always cigarettes ok, pipes and cigars a no go.
It wasn't so much the smell of pipes and cigars being banned as it was the amount of smoke they produced. I remember when my local cigar shop would hold cigar dinners at a place like Capital Grille steak houses and the amount of smoke we produced blanketed the place with a cloud of sweet cigar smoke. People who were not part of our dinner would look around for a manager and would ask why we were allowed to foul the air like we did. The manager would explain what a cigar dinner was and the people could choose whether to stay or go.

In my state, the cities decide how they should handle nit picky laws like that.
At the 2019 West Coast Pipe Show, the sports book where most of us liked to congregate in years past, prohibited pipe smoking but still allowed cigarettes and cigars. When someone asked the manager why, he said it was because the pipe smoke was thicker and people had complained that it was blocking their view of the TVs hung up high in the room.
I don't think I've really detested any cigar smoke that I have smelled, cigarette smoke not really bothers me, but I have smelled some really rotten cigar smoke.
Louisiana = bars, ok. Restaurants, no dice.
I was asked to put out my cigar years ago at Prejean’s in Lafayette, before the no smoking law went into effect. Everyone was cool until a customer started complaining. I was sitting in the smoking section. After looking closely at the menu though it did say in tiny font “no cigars or pipes.” ?

maybe the contact high is enjoyable?
I don't think chain smoker is a race. Though I am no expert on the subject.
also it takes a few seconds or minutes compared to even a quick cigar or pipe.
they'd need a work force to have those laws. You know Cosmic is kind of a little dictator in the town he lives in. It's Cosmicastan. They leave him alone cause they still get tourist bucks.
Strange and cannot say I have seen or experienced this. Growing up in a different city there was a Hill & Hill Tobacco Shop in the large shopping mall. As a kid I used to go in there because I loved the smells so much and get in trouble...guess I was always destined to enjoy tobacco. At my local cigar/pipe lounge they sell it all and allow it all...one of the many reasons I love that place.
I agree that people are more tolerant of cigarette smoke, but only because they are more "conditioned" to it.... as some has said already.
My experience is the opposite. I have had conversations and way more people loathe cigarettes, but have more tolerance for pipe smoke. But then, I live in the people's republic of WA.
There's nothing wrong with Latakia smokers.
The problem is the rest of the world hasn't been converted to the order of Latakia yet.
