Yes. Most ceramic pipes are safe for smoking as long as they have been adequately glazed, inside and out. Glazing involves coating ceramic items with a thin, smooth, transparent material as a finishing touch. The clay used to create ceramic pipes is very porous. Therefore, without glazing, the internal chambers of the pipe could trap dust and bacteria. The use of non-toxic, lead-free glazes also helps further safeguard the well-being of consumers.

There are numerous advantages that ceramic pipes have over glass pipes. Still, personal preference plays a significant role when choosing which of the two is more suitable for you. Ceramic pipes are more durable than glass pipes since they don't break easily. They can also withstand substantial temperature shifts and handle more heat. Furthermore, ceramic pipes are much easier to clean and come in a wide array of unique designs. These factors make ceramic pipes more durable and practical compared to glass pipes. For this reason, many consumers and businesses consider ceramic pipes as the better option.

Cleaning ceramic pipes is relatively easy. The most prevalent method is using solvents to rid your ceramic pipe of resin and tar. Many smoking enthusiasts prefer this method because it is more thorough than scrubbing using soap and water. It involves placing your device inside a sealable plastic bag and adding a solvent such as rubbing alcohol. You can also add a teaspoon of coarse salt to act as a scrubber. With all the contents in the plastic bag, seal it, and let the pipe soak for a while before shaking it thoroughly. After that, remove your pipe from the pack and wash it with hot water. Lastly, let it dry before using it again.
