Is there anything inherently spiritual about smoking cigarettes? I mean it’s a meditative ritual that at times puts you in an altered state of consciousness. There has to be something to it.

Cigarette tobacco is shit and full of additives.

Buy a pipe, an old fashioned briar pipe. Buy some REAL pipe tobacco from a respected brand such as Cornell and Diehl, Peterson, Samuel Gawith etc.

Learn how to pack it, light it, sipp it.

Don't inhale, you'll get a nicotine buzz just from the mouth. A full pipe smokes for 30-120 minutes. 

It's so fucking great. Pipe tobacco smells good, too.

Look at this bad ass pipe, too. It's a squat bulldog from Caminetto.

I’ve smoked menthol cigarettes for ten years, do you know of a good pipe tobacco alternative that someone like me might enjoy?

you would need the menthol filter or something, i dont think menthol tobacco good.

I may just have to give up the menthol entirely. I used to run track and field as a teenager and was just active in general, I’m looking to get back into that kind of thing but at a pack a day it seems pretty daunting, but quitting has proven to be ever more difficult than getting clean from opiates.

Try nicotine patches or lozenges. I cut down from a pack a day to only 5 a day with lozenges, but the nicotine consumption doesn't decrease it's just delivered differently.
