Quitting smoking

[pits]

Is it considered cheating to pack in fags and smoke a pipe?

I cant be arsed with ciggies anymore, had my last one last night and cant say I really want another one, but I do like my pipe, as "old manny" as it is, I do enjoy it, and your not really smoking, find its to harsh to properly smoke.

So quit fags is fine, but do I have to lose the pipe aswell? Is it cheating, as there is just something so right about smoking a pipe, and it makes a brilliant emphasis on calling people s etc, point pipe at them
IE
"You sir *point pipe at person. Are a ! *swivel pipe in hand and back into mouth"

What does PH masses think?
Cheating or not

You have to ask?

I think I might take up smoking a pipe, is what I think.

I like the cut of your jib.

Try it, even if you dont smoke it, just pick up a pipe, put it in your mouth, take it out, do the above and carry on as if nothing happened, or if your feeling really adventerous, stand with your back against the wall pipe in mouth, when everyone looks at you, remove the pipe from your mouth, hold it close to your face, with the "sucky end" at eye level and simply say with a serious pondering look upon your face

"I could do with fking a black/asian/indian/white/fat etc chick right now" pipe back in mouth and walk off, people will now think that, that man has goals, nothing is going to stop him, infact that man has probably already found a lady friend of his choice and is taken her home to bang, there is a succesfull man.

I've not seen anyone smoke a pipe in years.

[BoRED S2upid]

How old are you? I haven't seen a pipe smoker in years. Do you have a beard?.

[Don]

Of course it's "cheating."

You haven't given up smoking at all. You've given up cigarettes and replaced them with something else.

It may or may not be marginally better for you. If you tend to smoke a pipe very little and were on a lot of cigarettes then I'm sure it will be of benefit but you know what your Doc is going to tell you already...

Me? Gave up ciggies twenty years ago. Don't miss 'em at all. Revolting, chemically nasty things that make you stink. I really have given up smoking, too, as I haven't replaced them with anything.

But. Years on. I STILL fancy the occasional fine cigar. Not enough to buy boxes and a humidor. But enough, perhaps, to buy the odd one and smoke it in the garden for some special occasion with a stonking brandy. Doubt I'd complete a whole one, though...

On the other hand to ability to exactly this may be worth it by itself.

A proper man pastime. I salute your intentions sir.

Would you be growing some kind of moustache as well my good fellow ?

[Engineer1]

Depends on the type of pipe and how well it fits your face etc

[bazking69]

Do people still smoke pipes??
When I gave up fags last time, I ended up having the occasional half corona on special occasions. This quickly turned into a half Corona some evenings, then every evening, which in turn when to 10 Hamlet mini a day. After developing a nasty chest, spending a fortune and not actually enjoying smoking cigars because it was a matter of habit rather than an occasional pleasure I took up cigs again....

The best thing is you'll get a ruddy big dog to get you more if you run out.

Seriously try it, as someone asked me yesterday
"oh my god, are you smoking a pipe?"

• Take pipe out of mouth, look at them...Ponder "Yes I am"

quickest and coolest way to end a conversation

Aiming ZZ Top beard if that counts

[maix27]

This is a ridiculous thread...

I love it!

Never considered a pipe before, may take it up. (Could never grow the facial hair though).

Pipe smoking.

Plenty of decent research over the last 25 years on health impact.

Essentially, if you love Cancer, -but hate cigs, smoking a pipe is nearly as good.

[pits]

The only thing with a pipe is the first few smokes are horrible, as you need to break the pipe in and burn something or other off, in the pot. After that though, nothing but the sweet cherry smell of cherry tobacco in the air and the sound of your own voice making use of your new god given right as a British gentleman with a pipe, to sit in a corner and grumble about everyone and anything

[Asterix]

Hmmmmm - this pipe lark does indeed sound enjoyable.

You can legitimately introduce words such as 'cur', 'preposterous' and 'dastardly' in to conversations without fear of ridicule.

As to the facial hair, maybe you could smoke your own clippings post trim - sort of relaxed responsible waste management best practice.

[bigTee]

I smoke a pipe with the Father in Law on Christmas day.

This Christmas i shall be mainly pointing and commenting as recommended by the op

[TheCarpetCleaner]

I gave up smoking about 3 weeks ago completely.

I do have some facial hair, so this pipe lark sounds amusing
