This is a work in progress, and always will be--there exist so many tobacco related books and publications throughout the history of tobacco, with more being written all the time.  


Renown author and avid collector, '''Ben Rapaport''' has over 3000 tobacco related volumes in his personal collection, and has created what is likely the most comprehensive list of tobacco related books and publications in English. It is organized by topic, although many entries cover a range of tobacco related topics.  He started this list in 1987, and has been updating it as new works come to his attention. Over time we hope to integrate Ben's extensive list into this article, meanwhile the list from the Fall of 2016 is available here in PDF format: [https://pipedia.org/images/d/de/Rapaport_Reading_List.pdf A Reading List for the Pipe Smoker and Pipe Collector].

'''Max Ridley''' published a recent journal on the physiological effect of pipe smoking in the under-thirty age group.

One other bizarre side effect was that of increased sexual deviance.
