Young pipe smoker here...I'm in my mid twenties (you could refer to me as gen Z) I started smoking a pipe because my old NCO from the Marines brought one out when we went to Norway, and all my buddies and I thought that it was the coolest thing ever. Now I only smoke really because my girlfriend says it reminds her of her grandfather. I enjoy the practice for what it offers though, an excuse to go outside, sit still, and slow down. Today everything is so fast-paced, my generation has been plagued with short-form content on the internet so much that actually taking time to sit still and say very little is borderline revolutionary. Nevertheless the Natural Law persists, and good people still find good things pleasurable. I think vapes will continue to replace cigarettes, cigars will continue to remain on top, and pipes will continue in obscurity. But it's not so bad, and ultimately, if nobody on earth ever wanted to smoke a pipe again, would it really be so big of a deal?
