Well, I did play shuffleboard once...and I do tend to shuffle around the house (but not usually when smoking...I'm typically just sitting on my ass then...so I guess the answer is no).
Heavy breathing and coughing; occasional lightheadedness and fainting ... oh, and running shoes.
I'm in the fitness protection program, so not I........
I'm a retired competitive powerlifter, but I do still go to the gym 4 days a week and walk at least a mile a day. I have to keep going. I don't wanna get too old before my time.
I play hurling for the Cleveland Saints GAA club. I'm also involved regionally in Strongman and Armlifting competitions. Nothing in those activities carries over into pipe smoking... in fact, I'd probably be better at all of them if I didn't smoke a pipe like a freight train... It's ok though, because I have a secret weapon, and besides, I really like tobacco, so... 
Seriously though, I do play table tennis at a club level. Not sure what you meant by carrying something over into pipe smoking.
Me? Fletic? Hahaha. Although, I still refuse to have a wheelchair with push handles or powered assistance, so it's not quite all over. Close, admittedly.
I find that mixing 12 ounce curls and 16 ounce curls are suffcient.
I’ve played table tennis weekly on Wednesday nights for about forty years—there was a year long gap after I tore my calf muscle going for a wide crosscourt shot in doubles (I heard it pop when my foot made impact on the floor); we also had a long gap during the early part of COVID, but have resumed play. A free paper called NY Press did an article about us back in 1997:
There’s no real link to pipes other than both use wood and rubber and acquisition disorder may apply to gear in both cases.

Somewhere in my stuff I have a trophy where I was the D Class Missouri State Sporting Clays champion of 2005, that I won using my most beloved Super X Model One.
That automatically kicked me up to to C class and forever ended a promising career path.
Sporting clays is a sport.
You have to lift and shoot that eight pound gun 200 times per tournament, all swiveling and bending around.
The AA class shooters all look like Lance Armstrong, seriously.

I do a run every morning before work to the bodega. Got to have that bacon, egg, and cheese bagel.
I'm sure the cheerleaders constantly chasing us, especially with St. Bruno, is so prevalent its hardly worth mentioning but if you are making a list add that. 
I did many years ago, but have not been active in tournaments for a very long time. I would say most of the guys in our current little group could hold our own with players in the 1700 range and a bit higher, but as you know ratings are almost exponential as you go up.
