First off, thank you everyone for being so awesome to a new pipe smoker. I never feel dumb, and feel freedom in posting new threads and adding to conversations.
I am always interested in listening to people speak from personal experience on the changes within culture and society surrounding certain topics. For instance, I am currently studying the implications of modern acceptance of mental health understandings and strategies and how Christian theology has adapted and resisted throughout the years.
Escpecially asking the old-timers, what societal changes, cultural shifts, pop-cultural changes have you seen or been a part of that has influenced or effected pipe smoking? Also, where do you think pipe smoking is going? Is it gaining or losing popularity? And is it for better or for worse?
