There are many harmful things in this world. Approach all with prudence and not desdain. Our bodies have many bacteria some good and some bad. The best approach is to do all with restraint and not go over board to excess. Perhaps that bacteria adds to the flavor. A bad taste could be a sign for caution.
Yes, this is true. If you were to mention to your doctor that you smoke only one bowl a month, they will still list you as a smoker in their system, usually without any distinction.
Just heard on the radio News in Greece about 35 % of adults are smoking and in many places tobacco smoking bans in public places are not respected by general pubilc yet law enforcement actions are very seldom executed.
True. Until I started smoking a pipe in my mid 30s, I didn't smoke, except a cigar on my birthday each year. It was a tradition I started on my 18th... And, who am I to challenge tradition?
Once, an ER doctor asked me if I was a smoker, and I said (with a smile), "Just one cigar every year on my birthday." Wham! Smoker went down on my medical record. Every time I met with a new physician, they'd comment, "Oh, you're a smoker?" I'd re-tell the story, laugh, and they'd leave the smoker status.
So, when my wife finally nudged me into pipes, I figured, why not?
Yesterday was my 38th; I forwent the Maduro for a big bowl of Stonehaven... trying to earn that status. :D
