Because I happen to like my pipe collection. I didn't feel led to give up smoking a pipe. I didn't feel led to give up smoking cigarettes either. I just got tired of stinkin all the time and practically coughing up a lung every now and then. My body told me it was time to say adios to the cigarettes, but there's nothing anyone could have said to convince me it was a sin. At least not any more of a sin than any of the other things I see the holy people addicted to, like coffee, sugar, greasy foods, watching too much tv, etc. etc. It just so happens that this cigarette addiction is an easy target for those addicted to other things that can cause just as many health problems as smoking does. I wonder how many folks have died from heart attacks (the number one killer in the USA) over their arteries being clogged from all the junk food we eat in this country. What I am saying is that there are very few people who have reason to point fingers at anyone when it comes to doing things that are unhealthy.
