There's a lot of confusion about inhaling pipe smoke in the US. Most pipe smokers here actually do not inhale. However they say they do because the occasional tiny wisp of smoke might occasionally drift into their lungs (e.g. when they're working with a pipe in their mouth, and sharply breathe in through the mouth). They're afraid to say they don't inhale for fear that it might be construed as lying. And it's definitely possible to exhale smoke from the nose without inhaling. The air passage from the back of the mouth to the nasal passages goes nowhere near the lungs. Some people claim it greatly heightens the flavor and aroma of pipe tobacco, especially Virginia leaf. Cheers, Mark
A very valid subject Alan. I have inhaled pipe smoke in the past but haven't done for the last 5 years. I feel massively healthier now, enjoy and taste the tobacco more, and can go for days without smoking if I don't feel like it. I endorse your recommendation! Best, Paul
Very good topic Alan, I have quit smoking cigs for 4 months now and only smoke my pipes. I was at one time inhaleing the tobacco smoke every pull from my pipe and have learned not to inhale but maybe 1 out of maybe 8 pulls from the pipe:) Smoking Marlboro for 20 years then going straight to a pipe makes it a little hard not to inhale. But even inhaling pipe tobacco is way better for you than cig smoke. Cigs have so many additives and demulcifiers in it to mimic the nicotine.
In the process of quiting cigs myself with the pipe as an alternative of course! im dealing with the same issue you faced i have to be very mindful not to inhale.which leads me to retro hale more then i probably should.anyway its been about about a week and half with no cigs after going about 18 years strong so there some progress at least lol.
Great topic!!! I do still smoke cigarettes,which ive almost quit.However I don't enhale pipe smoke...I just savor the blends and flavors.There is NO DOUBT to me that pipe smoking is better for you than cigarettes.The pipe has helped me to cut back and will one day stop cigs.Take care Alan and God bless!!!
After smoking cigarettes for over 35 years, I switched to pipe tobacco as a practical alternative, but I would occasionally smoke a pipe while I was a full time cigarette smoker. I always knew you did NOT inhale pipe tobacco smoke… it’s too heavy.. which is why it surprises me that guys would buy Velvet and roll it into cigarettes when it’s a pipe tobacco. I enjoy pipe tobacco much better because I DONT inhale and feel the difference in my breathing to have improved.
Good points made their Allan. I think a lot of pipe smokers are ex cigarette smokers, as you said. My self included, I had to consciously avoid inhaling when I first started smoking pipes. It is not my policy to inhale, but sometimes I slip up. One thing I had a ciggy the other day, mom gave me one of hers, bloody awful inhaled or not, couldn't smoke it! Martin
I should add, using a filter is better for the health as well, but pipe smoking is much healthier than cigarette smoking. You should have more than one pipe, several corncobs would be a good idea and change them each smoke.Alan.
Great video sir! as an ex clove cigarette smoker, I find inhaling pipe tobacco doesn't give me more flavors.. especially on a heavy blend it kinda chokes instead lol
I agree with you brother! I quit smoking cigs 11 yrs ago. Even tho I still smoke baccy in my pipe, I feel a world better since I'm not inhaling it anymore. Take care brother, Michael.
Hey Alan. I saw that same survey and that answer surprised me as well. I don't inhale and never have, and out of curiosity I have had an ongoing pole on my blog ever since that survey, and with 250+ responses so far, 56% say they don't inhale, while 34% selected the option that states that they try not to but are sure that they sometimes do. Only 9% say they inhale as a rule. I do Retrohale. Scott
No I don't do this Russel, and what I have read and seen in many books this is not the healthiest way to enjoy a pipe,but everyone to their own. Take care. Alan.
Well I exhale thru the nose and am pretty sure it does not reach my lungs. Since I let it go thru my nose as I exhale... idk but since the air flow goes from my lungs to the outside and just takes the smoke for a ride, I doubt any is inhaled :3
Allan, great video Sir. I feel odd to mention this however...I can gently pull smoke into my mouth and blow it out of my nose without the smoke entering my lungs.This method I mention helps me get more taste.Alan can you do this? I was taught this as a method to absorb more nicotine without pulling into the lungs...thanks for your videos....smoke em up....Russell.
I think the vast majority of the TH-cam pipe community tend not to inhale. I agree with you and don't think people should inhale. However, you don't have to inhale in order to blow smoke out through your nose. I find this very easy to do without inhaling and I do it quite frequently.
I used to smoke 120 cigarettes a day, until I switched over to pipes. I do admit, I inhale every few puffs. Otherwise, it would be like sipping a good whisky, and spitting it out ...
Hi Alan, I should say more or less the same about the issue, but I do it the same wy as Russell (tatooer601) does it, but tit is right: If you don't bresthe out simultanioulsly, you inhale in fact a bit. This way has got to be learned and trained a bit. Thanx for sharing, the silvefox, David from Germany
I know this is 8 years old i still have a question as to inhaling. If one has no concern for health. Ive smoked cigarettes for many years and just smoming cigarretes and other things i have never been able to.blow smoke out of my nose or at least very littlw if i eont inhale. Ive also headx that enhaling out of the nose gives a bit of flavour. Whats your take on this
hi mate, i was smoking rolling tobacco 50g in 2/3 days, now im smoking a pipe which i smoke way less now i smoke my pipe i smoke it through the day rather than rolling cigs, i'm only 23 but my gf says it will make me die sooner which i explained its better smoking the pipe, she knows nothing, my pipe take a filter i'm presuming its better than without? also can you tell me which pipe tobacco is a good smoke, i'm in the uk, im onto my 3rd brand this one is called clan, which is the best upto now
Rest In Peace Alan thank you for teaching me how to smoke a pipe
Bro when did he die?
Gnarly Attack a couple years ago google his name
So this is a ghost channel?
@@captainjackpugh6050 yes basically because Alan passed a few years back
Thank you, Alan. Very useful information. Rest in peace.
Rest well Alan

Thanks for the feedback David, as long as we all enjoy the pipe that's what counts. Take care. Alan.

Oh I would never go back to cigarettes again Martin, the pipe is all I require now. Thanks for the comment. Alan.
Thanks for watching my friend,I was just quoting from an article I saw and find written in all the books I have. Smoke as you will and enjoy. Alan.

JADs Pipes is it really healthier to inhale pipe smoke than cig smoke ?

Thanks for watching and commenting Paul. I'm glad for your healths sake you don't inhale anymore. Take care. Alan.
You seen get out of the habbit of inhaling once you get the hang of a pipe.Thanks for the feeback Martin.
Thanks for the feedback Michael. Glad you agree. Take care. Alan.
Glad you are smoking in this way my friend it is bests for you and you will enjoy it more. Alan.

Clan is good I smoke it a lot, and Gold Block is a nice mild tobacco to smoke in the mornings. Both of these you can get easily in the UK. Alan.
Thanks for the comment Joseph, good to get of the cigarettes.Take care. Alan.
I'd like to see someone inhale a good strong English heavy with Lat.

I don"t inhale ever. I agree totally with you. I get enjoyment from the taste and aroma.
Good points made their Allan.

It is not my policy to inhale, but sometimes I slip up.

Thanks for the feeback my friend,this has proved to be a very popular video. Alan.
It is a cheap,re-fillable gas lighter, only cost about £1. Great for pipe lighting. Alan.
I should add, using a filter is better for the health as well, but pipe smoking is much healthier than cigarette smoking. You should have more than one pipe, several corncobs would be a good idea and change them each smoke.Alan.
Totally agree Alan. Same with cigars. You just puff them.
Thanks for the feedback Ronald.I like the whisky analogy. LOL. Alan.
Thanks for commenting my friend, glad you enjoy your tobacco the right way. Take care. Alan.

Just keep it in the mouth and blow out

I often find Alan I might inhale a very small amount while lighting up but I dont inhale as I go for the flavour and smell of it.
I'm sure they can . Take care. Alan.

Not a good idea I'd say Daniel. Alan.
No I don't retro inhale Big, I get enough enjoyment from smoking as I do, but I am sure this is fine for you. Take care. Alan.
Cool video, thanks.
@Christogenea dot Org The only reason I was looking into this was because I have a cool pirate outfit and I wanted my character to smoke a pipe lmao

Good topic, BTW. Scott
Hey there, Alan... What type of lighter do you use? It appears there's some sort of extension on it. Thanks!
I didn't know you had done a pole on inhaling Scott, thanks for the statistics. What do you call Retrohale? Alan.
Inhaling murders your lungs. Ask me. I know😂
so, in your opinion, do u believe inhaling pipe tabacco is worse than inhaling cigarette tabacco?
Was that a smoke ring at 1:33? I'm not sure if it was on purpose, but hah
Are you still there?
i came from a 2 pack a day habit so i inhale but i still believe the pipe tobacco alot less deadly than ciggs are! so yeah i inhale!

1 35 he blowed o unitentionaly thats skill :]]]
You have trouble keeping it alight because you don't know how to breathe on a pipe. The puck is a living creature and your breath is its life.
Thanks for the feedback Ronald. I like the whisky analogy. LOL. Alan.
