I like smoking a pipe while I read. How old do I have to be before I can do this in public and not look like a faggot?

I read at airports, the DMV, waiting rooms, tho it's usually something practical The Economist.

I guess some people read in public because it gives them a thrill to be seen as a cultured or whatever. Maybe they think they'll meet someone. It's narcissistic but harmless.

Depending on how you can pull it off, there is no age really - Just please don’t be a vape!- But if you ask some anons on a mongolian archery forum probably you don’t have the confidence to pull it off.
Ever tried snuff tobacco instead? It’s more discreet, can be done everywhere, and you can collect many antique or curious snuffboxes as you can do with pipes.

why would you even want to smoke a pipe in public? just like reading or (actually) listening to good music, pipe smoking requires a calm and quiet ambient where you are relaxed and have plenty of time to enjoy it. I can hardly imagine a situation like this in public...

>> No.13277841

I don't smoke my pipe in public but then again, I wouldn't. I have smoked my pipe when talking with friends after asking if they minded, though. Most of my smoking is done during my thinking time outside with my dogs.

Usually it’s basedboys and tryhard faggots who vape. Or broke stem students who can’t reduce their nicotine dose (or learn how to roll). If you want to smoke you are aware of the risks and take it as a pleasure, so taste the real thing. It may be retarded, but when I see some fucking hipster with an e-cig I feel the urge to light up a Gitane or a Toscano so the twat inhales something decent at least by second hand smoke
