Smoking in public is drawing too much attention from the teenagers...

I went to the town today for a little fun, stopped by Brier Patch tobacco shop in Sonoma and got some coffee and some Captain Black white pouch. Lately I've been liking the stuff, it's a good smoke! I had been having problems a while ago with smoking my pipe in public, I was afraid people would get the wrong idea so I just smoked my RYO cigarettes instead and rolled them completely cylindrical to avoid any confusion. But I have given up cigarettes, I'm sticking with a pipe only.
So I sat down on a bench at the town square, got my Bible out and packed a big fat bowl. I put the fire to the brier and opened the good book to the last page I was on.
I was enjoying my pipe for about 10 minutes and next thing I know I'm surrounded by a bunch of damn teenagers. So they are all asking me dumb questions like "what kind of weed are you smoking bra'" and stuff like that. Couldn't even get a word in they were all trying to talk to me. So I just told them "What, no! I'm not going to get all hopped up on marijuana, what do I look like, a hippy?" Next thing I know they are telling me I need to go home and eat a bunch of bath salts. I don't know what the hell that means, is that what the teenagers are into these days?
So it appears they think I'm smoking narcotics, how do I make it look like I'm not? I'm really stuck here. I'm not touching another cig EVER, and cigars are too delicate to carry. Any suggestions?

Seems like a good idea, only problem is I'm too nice for that. I'm thinking about making a shirt that says in blaze orange letters: "Don't hassle me. It's only tobacco dumb@$$"

Wait, so bath salts are pretty much a new designer drug? That pretty much explains it, I thought the kid just hopped up on too much dope or something.
Philip is right, I don't want to soil the image of pipe smokers. If I'm going to tell someone to go piss up a rope I don't want to be smoking a pipe, because they could think that all pipe smokers get bent out of shape. Either way, I don't give a damn what they think. I'm going to smoke my pipe in public regardless of what the dumb teenagers think.
I was thinking last night, what if I just played dumb?

"What's the chronic? Is that a brand of pipe tobacco? Is it an aromatic? Sounds like a newer blend, I like older brands, but I'll ask my tobacconist if he's got a pouch of "chronic tobacco" so I can see what the latest craze is like. Good day to you sir."
I do like Baron's idea though. I tend to be harsh sometimes.
Either way, I think I dress in a way that isn't really shouting "pot smoker" to anyone. Just a clean T-shirt, some hunting boots, cowboy hat, and some jeans. I also use deodorant and am clean shaven. It's not like I've got dreadlocks and a rasta color tie dye shirt.

Kyle, I've heard something about this fake marijuana they have and it's called spice. Appearantly it's completely legal to get hopped up on because it's not real dope, it's fake and mimics the effects only it's much more potent. That stuff is often sold as incense from what I've heard, so kids can buy it. It's also putting kids in the hospital or getting them intoxicated for up to a week. It sounds absolutely dreadful and it's much worse than dope. Personally I'd rather see them legalize dope and make that fake stuff illegal to sell.
I try and be a gentleman to promote a good image for pipe smokers, in fact several people told me that what I was smoking smelled really good. One woman said that the aroma of my pipe brought back memories of her papa, that's excellent! I like stuff like that.
I think I should be good and firm with them. And if they continue bothering me I'll tell em' to go to hell. Or maybe just jump down their throat R. Lee Eremy style. I think I'm just a little too polite sometimes.
