I know many people say that smoking is bad, and that I am giving you cancer or some other bullshit. I am fully aware of the risks associated with smoking a pipe. Most of the health studies have been down against cigarette smoking actually, and precious little is available about the direct, and indirect, consequences of smoking a pipe.
Anyone who has ever smoked a pipe can tell you this, however. Smoking a pipe will calm you down and reduce your stress levels.
From this you can see I am dangerously low. <grin>
