I've recently discovered the joys of smoking tobacco with a pipe. I've never liked cigarettes, they are nasty and horrible for you. Pipe tobacco, which is of course still bad for you in some ways, is far less harmful and actually has benefits to your mind. Also it's far far less addictive than cigarettes, ( due to the chemicals they add to cigarettes specifically for that purpose). Also it tastes natural instead of all chemically and it's actually a good taste. And there's also the big bonus that it smells good and doesn't leave you smelling bad. Plus there's the added social benefit of being able to say "Indeed."
