Are there any safe tobacco alternatives for pipe smoking?!
Question: Are there any tobacco alternatives that carry little to no risk of oral cancers? I enjoy the tactile pleasures of pipe smoking and the calm contemplative state that pipe smoking induces, but the increased risk of oral cancers are enough to cause my cessation.
Is there anything that could be used to substitute the tobacco and still be smoked in a similar way in a pipe? The substitute needn't have any active ingredients or even be plant material. I just enjoy the tactile pleasures that smoking a pipe offers and would like some healthier way to achieve the same tactile pleasures.

Find an alternative oral tactile habit. Toothpick, lollipops, pipe without any burning material.
Or find an alternative to achieving a contemplative state: Meditation, jigsaw puzzles, listening to New Age music, running, swimming, bird watching ....
NO. any and all smoking is not healthy. it doesnt matter what youre smoking, how long youre doing it, or why. it WILL have negative side effects on your body.
smoking weed (marijuana) is a safe alternative. it won't give you cancer or anything.
They do sell herbal smoke, without cancer chemicals. Nicotine in itself I do not feel is cancerous it is the chemicals they add to it. Regular nicotine does not stay lit normally.
Weed may make you lose your job or get arrested, though you can buy legal buds that wont get u high. If you use it for medicing, I would recommend regs over the fancy stuff unless you know the source to avoid chemicals. There is Salvia Divinorum, also may knock you out, more mellow (Some can not handle weed anymore but can that). The herbal smoke blend Herbacco may be what you are looking for, link below. Good luck!
Just keep smoking pipe tobacco, the risk of cancer in reality is small.
