I'm not the world's greatest outdoor smoker, but when DW tricks me into something she calls "Going for a walk", I usually fill a pipe and bung it in a coat pocket. Normally I prefer smoking indoors in my armchair or at my desk.  'tricks' you into going for a walk...devious. It works every time. I'm gullible. |

It’s very rare when I have the opportunity to smoke indoors. I live in a apartment building and my neighbors are ‘sensitive’ to smoke ( translation : They’re a&@holes). On the rare occasion, I’ve put towels under the door and cracked the window. One day I’ll buy a house and all will be well.

Hope ypu can buy a house soon and get away from the bolsheviks. |

I smoke everywhere , except my truck, in my pipe room, on my porch, on my John Deere, on my zero turn lawn mower. Saying that I live in South Louisiana where the weather is mild. The reason I don't smoke in my truck is the wife , we use it to visit Son in Dayton Texas and out of respect for her I don't.

This thread reminded me that I need a few nice chairs for the deck. I'm certain it will see it's share of pipesmoking this season.

I understand if people don't like the smoke but there's no need to be an a$$hole about it. |

I just prefer to smoke outdoors or in my car with the windows rolled down. I'm not a huge fan of everything around me stinking of stale tobacco, including me, and I prefer to minimize the amount of smoke I'm actually inhaling into my lungs. I enjoy lunting, so it works out perfectly.

I prefer indoors. I like having my choice of pipe, tobacco, tamper, lighter, and not being limited to what I brought with me. I like my comfy chair that has taken years to break in. I like the pile of books within reach, and the music on the stereo. I appreciate not having to fight the breeze, or stay downwind of the food on the picnic table, or having to ask if you mind if I smoke.

If I move to a bigger house, I'd like to have a smoking room / library and then those reasons will come to the fore for me...except that I be inhaling the smoke, so I'll need a window to hang my head out. |

Unless you're smoking in a closet, I don't think that s a worry.  |

The exhaust fan in the man cave eliminates any worry of rebreathing any (much) second hand smoke.
Besides, haven't there been several posts here and on other sites debunking the whole secondhand smoke lie?

Bricks and mortar tobacconists are getting rare, and just like that, second hand bookstores are getting rare. One of the great things about a second hand bookstore is the smell of some of the old leather books. The classics, the Shakespeare and the Tolstoy, and the Chekhov sets have that wonderful smell that you know darn well is the pipe smoking of the previous owner.
I bought a complete set of Sir Walter Scott in something like nine volumes, and I bet half the subconscious reason I got them was that wonderful smell, and the subconscious kinship I felt with some long dead previous owner.
So I figure I am just perfuming my book collection for some future buyer, (who probably won't know what that smell is because nobody will smoke anymore - who am I kidding nobody will read books any more.)

jeffd, i agree with all you said. Love my library and its smells, and wonder what somebody will do with them all when I shuffle off.nothing like an evening with a book and a pipe. One of my pleasures used to be poking around used book stores. Used to be, because there's not many left.

Maybe in the future, ebooks will have escents... If they do, there's no doubt that tobacco will be a banned scent. |

If you're sitting in a smoke-filled room surely that'll have some effect on your lungs, would it not? But an exhaust fan would be a great idea. I now need to buy a bigger house. |

Because your neighbours are a pair of stupid anal openings, you shall go through the trouble of putting a towel under the door when you want to smoke indoors..? Is smoking prohibited in your building..? If not, let them complain till they are blue in the mouth. |

One of my pleasures used to be poking around used book stores. Used to be, because there's not many left. ...and I agree with you and Jeff both. DW and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and the largest one we turned into a library/smoking den when we moved in; we have a smaller library branch in the living room, so we have that wonderful smell of books all over the place and it goes very well with the smell of tobacco. Macbeth and McConnell... Excellent. Not that many years ago, we had bookstores all over Copenhagen; now there's just two left. They closed the best English bookstore in town, and for what..? A Burger King..! We had a whole street filled with antiquarian booksellers, Just one left now. Sad. |

Just to keep this hijacked but interesting thread going, I have a question. Some years ago when I traveled a lot on business to the UK I always reserved some time to roam around the used and antiquarian book stores in and around Charing Cross Road in London, which were the best in the world IMO. Any one here know if they're still there? As A side note, they were the most amiable bunch if shopkeepers. One could roam thru several stores accumulating stacks of books, and the last store visited would pack them all up to ship to the US.

The NYC legislature has made it illegal to smoke in public housing. I don’t live in public housing, but t’s only a matter of time until they ban smoking in privately owned buildings. I guess the government knows what’s best for me. Humm- that seems a little like communism to me. But then again, how can I know what’s good or bad for me. Like I said, one day I will buy a home and will no longer have to deal with stupidity like putting a wet towel under the door. We did that in college, for another type of smoke. |

The other advantage of smoking indoors is the pure joy of smoking a churchwarden. I haven't the brass to smoke one in public.

I'm afraid, I can't answer your question about Charing Cross Road, as I haven't been there for 30 years, but I can highly recommend the book "84 Charing Cross Road" by Helene Hanff. It's a 20 year long correspondence between an American journalist and an antiquarian bookseller, Marks & Co., in said road. An utterly charming book and a must-read for any book lover. They even turned it into a great movie starring Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins. |

Can they really do that..? Has the state's nannying no end..? Disgusting. (The college towel under the door was back in the Smoking Salad days and quite another story).  |

Anne Bancroft is of the era of the last actors/actresses I thought worth a Damn. Unlike today's suprcilious dipsticks who can't keep their politics to themselves. |
