What Are Trends, Products & Meanings Regarding 

Smoking?

 Smoking is practically as much an American pastime as baseball. Interestingly enough, though, what you smoke seems to be a statement as to who you are. For instance, when you see another person smoking a pipe, the word ‘intellectual’ likely comes to your mind. Similarly, if you see a man with a cigar in his mouth, you will likely think, of his as ‘wealthy’. Of course, a woman with cigar in hand is typically thought of as masculine. The draw of cigarettes has generally been that those who smoke them are thought of as cool or sexy. Those who chew tobacco, on the other hand, are more commonly thought of as baseball players or farmers.


A new trend in smoking in the USA is the hookah. A hookah is a traditional Asian device used for smoking. Many people like to smoke flavored tobacco with a hookah. Of course, some people do not smoke tobacco at all with a hookah, but rather, they smoke cannabis or opium.

Whereas smokers of cigarettes generally have few smoking accessories other than a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, and maybe a cigarette holder or antique cigarette case, since these items are not early as popular as they used to be, while cigar smokers come complete with many smoking accessories.

A cultured cigar smoker will likely have cigar cutters, a cigar humidor, a cigar box, a cigar holder and maybe even a cigar cabinet. Some people only bring out cigars for special occasions such as weddings, new babies, retirements, etc. Other people smoke cigars daily or perhaps they simply think that every day is a special occasion and is worthy of a cigar.

A tobacco pipe consists of a bowl, a small chamber for the combustion of the tobacco, a stem and a mouthpiece. Many tobacco pipes seem more like pieces of the art rather than simply a piece to smoke tobacco out of. These smoking pipes are made of a variety of materials which may include briar, corncob, clay, meerschaum, cherry, wood, glass and a few other materials.

The person most famously connected with tobacco pipes is Sherlock Holmes. And Sherlock is, of course, an intellectual, and an intelligent detective to be more precise. This matches up with the abovementioned stereotype that those that smoke tobacco pipes are intellectuals.


Tobacco can be smoked or chewed in multiple ways. The way that you choose to use tobacco is entirely up to you. Be aware, of course, that there are multiple harmful side effects associated with chewing or smoking tobacco. You can visit online HeadshopsFindr to explore the complete range of smoking products.
