To Me there seems to be a distinct lack of pipe smoking in the HP books, something that strikes me a a stark departure from the classics.

I always pictured Albus chilling out with a long Clay Churchwarden, Remus with a fine briar pipe.

Do you think this was a deliberate choice, and if so why?

The growing pressure from Anti smoking organizations, the fact its a "children" book or so on!

Personally i find it a little strange that alcohol is so prominent, but most children experiment with smoking before drinking.
