BS”D
I smoked a pipe for 17 years, until I crossed the line from pleasure to addiction.
Once I realized I was up to 3-4 pipefuls at a stretch when bored, and that the nicotine in the stronger and stronger tobacco that I was smoking was what was making me want more, I quit cold turkey and sold my pipes.
I bought a couple of new pipes and started again a year or so after quitting but gave it up once and for all a month later.
