[QUOTE="Storm_Crow, post: 208191, member: 1695"] The thing about smokers is...the different types are so completely different from one another. The entire motivation is generally different. The personalities of each could often not be more dissimilar. cigarette smoker: frenetic, high stress, instant gratification cigar smoker: generally very impressed with themselves. The cigar seems to be somewhat representative of a power or status symbol pot smoker: slacker! pipe smoker: laid back, patient, and thoughtful These are all stereotypes we've all seen, and while they will not apply to all individuals in a group, the reality is that stereotypes usually have a basis in reality. This also means that the various groups of smokers, far from being kindred spirits, rarely have many similarities, and often scorn one another. Lets be honest, while suffering irritation due to the attitude of these cigar lounge guys...how often do pipe smokers look upon cigarette or pot smokers with utter disdain. It goes beyond merely the difference of what we smoke. What we smoke is an announcement (whether accurate or not) of who we are in the eyes of others. [/QUOTE]
