By using Tor for that purpose, all you're doing is making it so people
running Exit Tor nodes can sniff your traffic, rather than people watching
the unsecured wireless network.
I wouldn't automatically assume that reduces your chance of having your
traffic sniffed. It might even increase the chance of that occuring.
