A pipe smoke is not like a cigarette because it is not a continuous front-to-back process. Left unpuffed it will go out, and that it good. I have a few puffs, put it down, and then a re-light, several times over a long period. A pre-filled pipe lasts me a two-hour car journey. 2. Collect a set of pipes. I have twelve. This enables me to rotate them so that they are fresh, sometimes using two a day. When you put a recently used one into rest, run a pipe cleaner through it and give the bowl a light scrape. There will be moisture at the bottom of the bowl, but it will dry out within hours. Also, you can accumulate sediments from your saliva at the sill on the end of the shank. Give that a scrape and wipe it clean regularly. 3. Use a tobacco pouch. It keeps the tobacco moist and tidy and you can fill your pipe without spilling any. Bulk tobacco freezes well. I move it from a sealable plastic bag into my pouch every other day perhaps and it is immediately smokeable. It chills, but it does not freeze hard and the flavour is preserved. 4. A cigarette demands that you smoke it end-to-end, but you can (if careful) put a lighted pipe in your pocket, bowl upright, in the side of a jacket. I do it all the time, particularly if we are eating out and I pop out for a quick puff which I always do. 4. Careful how you buy tobacco. Some research will lead you to inexpensive sources but many are unreasonably pricey. I ought not to make any recommendation in this column, but I can buy lovely Toasted Cavendish at a little less than a buck an ounce! Go search!

Your opinion that it "should be stopped" is just that, an opinion. You're welcome to it but it doesn't mean we have to listen to it. Before you go off telling someone what they can or cannot do try 'reading' and 'understanding' the Bill of Rights rather than ignoring it as a bland inevitability. So, do everybody a favor, read the Constitution and take that self-righteous socialist attitude elsewhere. Last I checked we live in “AMERICA” where one is free to make their own choices in life.

My best friend in Poland got hooked on her boyfriend's pipes. They bought me a set of pipes as a gift...and they included these other accessories that I had no idea what to do with. ;) Thank you to all of you who have taken the time to "spell it out" for us 'rookies'. It's much appreciated. (Now all I want to do is find out what types of pipes these are.) ;) The Amphora tobacco he sent smells SO good. I'd been hesitant to start...not knowing what I was doing...and not wanting to ruin these. Again, thank you SO MUCH! I wanted to say THANK YOU.

Just about everything you do has a health risk, hell, driving can be worse for your health than smoking. Before you criticize people's habits, remember that most of them (especially nowadays with all the public service announcements) made their own choice to start.
