Pipe Smoking: Should I be Concerned in Public ?

[IAMLEGEND1204]

ask your neighbors.

I am not sure that I would ask my neighbor first. My motto is "it is better to seek forgiveness than permission."

I would often smoke in my front porch and im concerned if it's somewhat rude to be smoking in close proximity to my neighbours.

I know the golden rule of standing far off from non-smokers when smoking a cigarette but i'm unsure with pipesmoking.

I smoke mainly english blends not aromatics so i feel slightly more worried about the smell around my neighbours

But as a general rule do you keep your distance afar from non-smokers like with cigarettes or do just smoke away without too much care ? (As the the smoke smells different from cigarettes).

MuttonChopPiper tends to smoke aros in public to A. make a good name for pipe smoking and change the sentiment B. be considerate of others noses. Personally, I don't find it rude when people smoke cigarettes in public even if just walking down the street so I don't think people would find pipe smoking rude either. When it comes to your neighbors, you want to be considerate as possible. For me, I usually refrain if I am in a convo or at least ask if they mind. Truthfully, I don't think anyone would say "no please dont" but even if that is what is going through their mind, they appreciate your consideration of them. I just spent two weeks in Denmark, Sweden and Denmark and EVERYONE smokes there. I actually really liked it because it made me feel less singled out when puffing a pipe down the street lol

This can all be summed up by:

If it’s your own property I wouldn’t. I can only smoke outside. Asking would just open the door to an answer I wouldn’t want to hear. They’ve taken away every other place I can smoke.
