I really don’t care about your links, I wasn’t taking sides or trying to make a point other than you were incorrect about the study not being from a medical institution. You seem to have difficulty understanding that. This isn’t about your patients.
Methinks it's about his patience.....................
My favorite excuse is "I fell on it."You sweet, naive man. Never lose your innocence
Besides, I totally get what you mean about the slow, deliberate process of pipe smoking.

I do believe the hard to swallow bit was offered in full jest. There are a number of us who make that sort of post. I got a good chuckle.You sweet, naive man. Never lose your innocence
Are there any other excuses?
Perhaps: My girlfriend did it. Or, I had a terrible itch....

Right there with you. I was able to use a pipe lit or not to replace chewing. Now I may lite my pipe a few times a week more on weekends.
Pipe smoking has blessed me with many peaceful hours. To smoke properly, I find it essential to devote all my attention to the pipe. A mindfulness meditation. Breathing, in the moment.
I'm a long time amateur stargazer. For many years, a few minutes under the stars just enjoying the ancient constellations and allowing myself to drift off into infinity helped me to distance myself from the day's problems and frustrations. My life has been far from serene, but when I came back in, I was better able to constructively face the next day. A recent explosion in local light pollution has pretty much destroyed my view of the stars, and that's taken a serious toll on me.
Smoking a pipe has proven to be very helpful to me. I can sit outside on a swinging chair with an OLD book and a churchwarden pipe and just disappear into the past for a little while. Yeah, winter has put a damper on that, but I guess that's what drew me to this group now...

The serotonin hypothesis of depression is still influential. We aimed to synthesise and evaluate evidence on whether depression is associated with lowered serotonin concentration or activity in a systematic umbrella review of the principal relevant areas of research. PubMed, EMBASE and PsycINFO...

Picking up the pipe eased my transition out of alcohol and funny grass consumption. It motivated me to start writing and reading old books as well as a fascination with Irish culture. Compared to sloth and gluttony, the way of the pipe has helped me realize a more productive and balanced version of myself. Wouldn't change a thing if I could.
I have successfully incorporated pipe smoking into my sloth and gluttony routine.
