The Surgeon General and you can pick one of two persona. You can carry the pipe as a prop and discourse on the evils of smoking. Or, you could actually smoke the pipe and speak in favor smoking.
There is a third. You can carry the pipe, cold, and speak to the dangers. In the middle of your rant you could load up and light up, slowly mellow out and begin to extoll the benefits to your now enraptured audience. I do believe that this would be the most politically incorrect if you lean that way.
