Jump into your car and travel to any of the larger cities in Ohio.  

Find Vine Street.  It does not matter which city, just look for Vine Street.

Drive down Vine Street until you reach an area that makes you feel uncomfortable, then look for the guy standing on the corner.

Pull over and tell this man you need something to smoke besides tobacco.

He will fix you right up!

Now, seriously;

Go to you best local tobacco shop and ask for tobacco substitutes.  They have them as lose pipe tobacco or rolled as cigarettes.

Most are combinations of tea leaves, flower petals and various herbs.


Smoking was universal everywhere in the 18th century, frontier and city.  People often wore down the front teeth with their clay pipe stems, creating a notch beside the incisors.  Men, women and children all took the pipe.  Teachers had a smoke break for the kids in school and there was no age limit.  Toddlers sometimes got a pull from mom's pipe.  They were smoking as soon as they were weaned.  Today you would go to jail for what was common on the frontier.
