This is exactly how I quit a pack-a-day cigarette habit in my 20s: smoking a pipe. It allowed me to get some nicotine in, but was such a pain to pack/light that I eventually gave it up -- by that time I was sufficiently de-habituated from cigarettes that I never went back to smoking, except for a few times when I got really drunk (another habit I eventually gave up).
