What is your Trigger

[Rossi320]

To smoke a pipe. Is it the smell, seeing someone smoking (a pipe),the appearance or just the nic hit


For me it is the smell and nic hit, but if I am watching a movie with a pipe smoker in it I find myself picking mine up

I have some kind of tobacco going pretty much non-stop.

I use pipes for situations I would normally smoke 30 cigarettes, like a road trip or while I'm reading at night, or watching tv. I use cigars in this position also, but to a lesser extent.

The times I cant smoke anything, I'll do the dip. If I'm full on nicotine, I'll use the chew.

The times I must have a cigarette, like after meals, or when I'm in close quarters with my wife, I'll have a cigarette. She never complains about anything, but pipe or cigar smoke she wont abide.

The times when my sinuses are clear and the pipe blend I'm smoking is weak on the N, I'll toot some nasal snuff.

My trigger is basically being awake.

Other than the fact that I look cool doing it. I'm in it for the nicotine. I like the mouth feel. Similar to chew/dip.

Sometimes I want the throat hit from cigs, the lip burn from dip, or the mouth feel from pipes. I like em all.

I think I am addicted to nicotine. When I started smoking a pipe I still rolled my own tobacco, and I didn't really get any nicotine buzz out of the pipe, but now that it is my only mode of getting N, some blends can actually leave my stomach feeling not too great.

Never smoked cigs .i chew only ,started on a pipe 2 years ago.(in private/house).....i am progressing by going in my backyard.,not yet at the pipe holster at my hip and leather tobacco pouch in my back pocket stage yet,but I hope to get there with a collection of pipes to put in my holster.

I usually have a cigar going or a pipe or both, smoking some of a cigar and then swapping it out to puff a pipe really brings out the best in both for me, something about the contrast. If im away there is a decent chance im smoking, so my trigger is being awake.

I need a moment to meditate.

Gus, my lab, waking me up so he can get outside to empty himself,

Popping in here and reading peoples’ posts about pipes and smoking is a big-time trigger.

Noon. I can’t handle the pipe until I’ve been awake 5-6 hours. I’m an unapologetic candy-ass.

 

[BingBong]

No trigger required. I'll smoke when it's raining and when it's not.

 

[dingdong]

my pipe is all over the house. so i naturally get triggered.

Relaxation and of course the flavor from a bowl packed full of Nightcap

 

[wilblee]

The presence of air in combination with being awake proves to be a dang near irresistible trigger.

 

[jackattack]

Same for when I used to smoke cigarettes. With a cup of coffee and after a meal.

This is mine, not installed yet though.

Being awake.

And here i thought you'd say "spitting out the plug of chew upon waking!" :P

 

[dottlejockey]

My trigger is forethought. As soon as the thought crosses my mind (pretty much all day, if i'm home) then the reflexes take over and the puffing commences. Of course hopping on the forums and perusing the What Are You Smoking thread is just fuel to the fire.

Sometimes I have chewing tobacco in while smoking
