A smoking pipe, often simply referred to as a pipe, is used to inhale (or taste) the smoke of a burning substance,[1] typically (though not exclusively) used to consume a psychoactive substance; this most commonly refers to a tobacco pipe, however it can also refer to a cannabis pipe (bowl). Pipes are commonly made from briar (heather),[2] corncob,[3] meerschaum,[4] clay[5] (including porcelain[6]), cherry, glass, ebonite, or acrylic.
