Now... is there anyone here who fits the 'average' profile?
I'd love to see some histograms of the data!

I'm well above on most, except years smoked. I'm on 12 or so years, but I have much more tobacco and many more pipes than average I guess.

There are only 38 respondents. There are 32,998 members here. Thats only .00115158 less than 1 thousandth of a percentage point, right ? So not exactly an average. I'm not a math guy but I'm sure there are several in this forum.

100%. And hundreds of thousands I would imagine outside the forum. That's why it's in quotations and noted that there's only 38 responses. Clearly it's just a snapshot of a certain population not a peer reviewed scientific study with exacting standards.

We are still allowed to do things just for fun in this world right?

Nowhere near numbers that low.

Never was good at being average. Under commit, and overachieve!

Nicely designed graphic!

additionally(math) we're only people who would join a forum. Not sure where that fits in the average or typical pipe smoker?

I'm way over the average age but it looks like I'm somewhat below the other numbers.

 

[shanez]

I'm sure there's an "average pipe smokers are measured in inches (or pipes, or inches of pipes)" or something.

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

It looks wrong, as most polls are.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Is this all for some academic dissertation or just checking to make sure you're within the average parameters of some sort? I smell data gathering.

Those who smoke canadians and churchwardens are going to inflate the bell curve !

Don't worry, you're well above average !

To be average, I'm going to have to live to be about 175 years old.

And where's my extra 115 pounds of tobacco?? At least I now have some leverage with my wife for that next SP order!
