Pipe Pros

[nehemias88]

Hello everyone! I just began smoking a pipe and I can proudly say that I love it. I picked up a pipe instead of a cigarette because I play sax. Pipe smoking offers the benifits of delicious tobacco and no lung consequence. But my parents don't think that's good enough. I would like to know why not only pipe smoking could be good for you but why do you smoke a pipe for.

I don't know if I would say smoking a pipe is good for you but in replace of cigarettes it isn't as bad for you because you are not suppose to inhale a pipe. I read somewhere that if you smoke less than one bowl a day then it might have a benefit of decreasing stress levels.

 

[nehemias88]

Less than a bowl a day!! I'm not sure I would achieve that.

I can agree that during my pipe smoking, (just finished a cob full of Escudo) that its probably the most relaxed part of my day. I rarely smoke more than 4-5 bowls a week.

I smoke it because I enjoy the taste and it is one of the most relaxing activities I have yet found. This forum is another reason I continue to enjoy this hobby.

I smoke for the taste and relaxation. As stated before, pipe and cigar smoke is not meant to be inhaled. I'm sure it's not very beneficial for the body, but I'd say it's nowhere near as harmful as cigarettes as there aren't some 3,000 man made chemicals added to the tobacco ontop of not being inhaled.

Great people, amazing relaxation, great tobaccos to discover, pretty much in that order is why I smoke a pipe. I have met some incredible people on this forum as well as through my local pipe club. Oh yea and my Dad smoked a pipe I could do worse being just like him. Oh and for the record I have never smoked a cigerette. Never felt the need.

 

[nehemias88]

I've never smoked a cigarette and I find them quite disgusting, but i haven't smoked them, so I'm not sure

:?

 

[pipebob]

I agree guys. A good pipe and good tobacco. Very smooth experience!

You don't necessarily avoid lung problems because you smoke a pipe and do not inhale. You can inadvertently inhale small amounts of smoke

 

[photoman13]

Yes, karlj but I meant in comparison to smoking cigarettes. Oh and welcome to the forum nehemias88, pipebob, and karlj. If you have any technical questions feel free to shoot me a PM and I will help you out the best I can. If you haven't uploaded an avatar it really builds trust and camaraderie around the forum.

Don't kid yourself, smoking anything is not good for you. Some of us just don't give a darn though. Why? I enjoy the taste and the mild narcotic effect. I also like what a pipe stands for: non conformity.

I plan to have an avatar this weekend. Thanks for the welcome,photoman13!

As soon as I posted my response I clicked edit. I took a long time on my edited response and when I went to post it I was told that the post was too old and I lost all text that I spent for flippin ever composing! Seriously?

Anyway, my above response falls short of the message I was trying to convey and I no longer have the desire to amend it in detail.

So.......Don't believe everything your told and always search for all the facts yourself.

Persue joy, purpose and meaning in a way fit for you. Hope that others around you can do the same.

Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out of it alive.

Pipe smoking is good for the soul.

 

[fshu2]

pipe smoking is good for you because you are not doing crack... my friend had an article about how pipe and cigar smokers do have some health benefits but i do not recall it nor am i sure how true it is.

 

[macattack]
