As a cigarette smoker who wouldn't mind quitting but knows how hard it is to, I wouldn't smoke the cigarettes unless you really don't mind getting hooked. To me the main thing is it's much harder to get addicted to niccotine by inhaling while smoking a pipe just because a pipe is not nearly as convient to smoke as a cigarette is. Not to mention I'd have to guess there's quite a bit less nicottine in pipe tobacco than there is in cigarette tobacco, not that it matters because you can become addicted either way. Oh and another big thing, smoking cigarettes is extremely expensive. With all that being said, I'd have to answer your question by saying stick with the pipe.

I'm sure you might hear like "oh well cigarettes have a filter on them" and all that but from what it looks like with illnesses possibly linked to smoking, the filter doesn't do a whole hell of a lot. Personally, I smoke Camel non-filtereds and the only difference I notice is filtered cigarettes give me a sore and scratchy throat. So I guess since you're really set on inhaling, go the pipe route since you probably won't keep the pipe with you 24/7 like you will eventually carry around a pack of cigarettes.
