I absolutely hate the fact that we as a society just agreed that cigarette butts aren’t garbage, because then you have to argue with smokers. Some day people look back and make fun of these assholes

Maalus@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoIt would fuck up the environment with butts like it always has. Cigs are shit for the environment, birds eat them and die and they’re everywhere. Can’t wait for them to completely die out.

It’s time to bring back tobacco pipes.

Pipe tobacco is amazing. It can be very complex after aging.
The average pipe smoker lives longer than the average non smoker.

If it’s true, it’s likely socioeconomic. Relatively expensive start up cost, bag or tin of pipe tobacco usually costs more than a pack of cigarettes. Tends to select for wealthier users with better healthcare.
It’s not inhaled so the cancer risk is lower than cigarettes. But, yeah, it’s not healthy.

My grandfather would not disagree with you but then he’s dead from lung cancer.

Sorry for your loss. FWIW, pipe smoke isn’t inhaled and has much lower cancer rates than cigarette smoking. It’s lower risk, not no risk.

Thems fighten words. I don’t smoke any churchwardens. Among pipe smokers, you’re usually dealing with a particular type of socially tone deaf nerd when they smoke a churchwarden and start talking about pipe weed. You need to be at least 60 and fully grey to pull off a churchwarden.
