Porcelain clay requires marble, so could we make a more accessible earthenware one, or maybe of ceramic stoneware?

Sure. Not like I was actively working on this since it was moved off the field of clothing. You can design them if you want.

A pipe can be made of (large) bones, or ivory. Some 50g i would say.

This would require a knife (a steel one for ivory!), and at least 2 days of work (comparing it to making a bone arrowhead or bone bagh-nakh, which are easier designs).

As a replacement for tobacco one could use dried grass or hemp. Just include it in the requirements for manufacturing the pipe...

What am i doing here. Helping to introduce a useless, bad habit into the game. :roll:

It's not possible to specify that only a steel knife could do the job, as far as I know. That's why we have carving knives. Hmm, including hemp in the project might assure that people won't make a pipe unless they got something to smoke.

There are pipes made from glass, metal (at least partially) and a special kind of pumpkin also.

A shisha should be easy to implement, too. Just consider it as a machine which needs a small amount of herbs and produces nothing but hot air. Ideal for people who like to smoke in groups.

Haha, project: smoking hemp. In fact, it could be a portable machine, the only problem is that you would have to set it down to load it.

Image Hookah - Shisha - Narghile. Operates by water filtration and indirect heat.

-Components
Bowl: made out of clay or marble, holds the tobacco and coal.
Plate: made out of steel or brass, used for "dead" coals from previous smoking sessions.
Hose: slim tube with a metal or wooden mouthpiece.
Body: hollow tube with a gasket at its bottom that seals the connection of the body of the hookah with the water jar. The gasket may have one more opening with a valve in it for clearing the smoke from the water jar not via the hose.
Water jar: made out of glass.
Grommets: placed between the bowl and the body, the body's gasket and the water jar and between the body and the hose to help to seal the joints between the parts. These are made out of rubber.

So eventually we are goping to see smoking enter Cantr since its acepted and all. Also this gives the oppertunity for addictin, drug running and more illegal activities. In other words a more realistic and fun RP
