What I Appreciate about Pipe Smoking.

Sometimes it just feels good to sit down and take a deep breath. ?

Not to sound spiritual, but a pipe can be a friend, psychologist, teacher, and a provoker. I must have solved the world’s problems a million times over while smoking a pipe.

That's tobacco users in general. Cigarette, cigar, pipe, chew, whatever they use, they just seem to be a friendlier class of people for the most part.

Most of the good friends I've met in my life, I met as we smoked

I personally find that music helps the mood.

Or a nice big doobie before a nice big bowl.

A million and one for me ??

What I appreciate about pipe smoking is……that it stops me from wasting money on frivolous things such as food, clothing or a house payment?

Controlled breathing indeed has powerful impacts on our neurological systems, balancing out our sympathetic / parasympathetic tone.

Some utilize breathing techniques for physiological reasons, others for meditative / spiritual reasons. (Like the pipe smoking itself.) But the beneficial effects will be present in all aspects, intended or not.

I think that many unknowingly benefit from the benefits of controlled breathing by smoking a pipe.

Yessir! I’ve spent a ton of money on tobacco, booze, and women. I wasted the rest of it……
