I am currently at my Wife's Parents house and her Mom still uses this one pictured below as her phone book.
To show that I did not take a picture off the web, I took the picture with TalkBass in the background.

Do you mean guys smoking pipes?
Or smoking at work?
I know several guys who smoke tobacco in a pipe.
They also tend to collect pipes, and I know a guy who fixes & restores pipes and another who just started making them.
Me, I don't smoke, although I might if I were on fire.
But if you mean smoking at work, in the office--yeah, that isn't a common sight anymore.
More specifically, I meant a U.S. President smoking a pipe in the Oval Office, without it being a big deal.
