Perhaps a clarification is in order:I guess I don't follow your thinking on that.
If one is trying to quit the cigarette habit by replacing it with pipe smoking I believe the success rate is fairly low. Most likely they will find themselves back on the butts. Asorbing nicotine through the tissues does not begin to achieve the delivery effectiveness of smoke in the lungs. So if one is used to that kick a pipe is not the answer.
Of course YMMV, IMHO.
Now, its SG BBF in a pot, coffee and off to see what is new on this forum, and a cigarette would be a poor substitute.
