Anyway, I just see them as very different than cigars.
I don't think snuff, chew and pipes belong in the same category any more than I think cigars and pipes belong in the same category, but from a semantic point of view, yes, you are correct, for this survey, pipes should probably be an "Other".

I agree with you in a sense, but the way that I'm thinking about this poll (and it's really helping me, actually) there is a difference between tobacco for enjoyment and tobacco for nicotine.
This could be misguided (bordering on judgemental, but bear with me) but I see dip, cigarettes, and (I guess) snuff to be for the nicotine, whereas cigars, pipe smoking and hookahs to generally be for pleasure and recreation purposes.
Am I off base with this thinking?
