Health Benefits of Pipe Smoking

[storm]

Couple of things I've noticed:
1) No more fingernail biting. I used to chew my fingernails (and harass my poor cuticles) something fierce, often to the point of bleeding and leading to the occasional infection. Since I started smoking pipes this has completely stopped.
2) Diminished appetite and consequent weight loss. I still eat well at mealtimes, but I've lost the desire to snack between meals. Especially the late night bowl of cereal - I just don't bother anymore. I don't weigh myself, so I can't give specifics in that way, but I've noticeably trimmed down. My pants are falling off.
I don't smoke all that much, just three or four evenings each week and two bowls per evening when I do, but these effects are continuous throughout the week.
Anybody else enjoying some fringe benefits?

Health benefits?Ya-Now that I spend so much on new pipes I'm forced to move out of a rat infested dwelling for not paying rent.

Yeah, I haven't been eating like I used too either, because I can't afford food! Damned TAD/PAD!

There we go! By moving away from rodents we avoid disease and it is always wise to moderate your caloric intake.

I can hardly wait to get my first prescription filled for tobacco.I wonder what flavors they have in mind?And will they throw a corn cob in with it?

Thanks for the links Kevin, now I can show my parents that pipe smoking is good for me!

Tell them this:

Pipe smoking is safe for adults and children of all ages. It does not cause cancer or have any negative health effects. As a matter of fact, men who smoke pipes live 33.7% longer than those who don’t. Women who smoke pipes are 27% thinner, better looking and have bigger boobs than those who don’t."

I'm sorry that - that last article didn't mention the fact that Danish Free Form smokers have bigger pipes.

Its common knowledge.
I don't want to boast, but its all I smoke.

Stress relief for me. Leads to less "medicinal" alcohol consumption and less "comfort" high-calorie food consumption.

Slow pipe smoking makes me sleepy.

Chlogeo3,

That's only because you haven't been in a real-knockdown-dragout-slugfest of a slow smoke competition.

Believe it or not they can be very intense.

 

[chlogeo3]

Ya joking right?

On the other hand, those who bitch about my smoking have occasionally found that it can be hazardous to THEIR health.
