Whenever you inhale “smoke” from burning tobacco, marihuana or anything, carbon monoxide which avidly binds to hemoglobin rises significantly in your body. This is extremely detrimental to your health and is probably the primary factor in the development of atherosclerosis. Sorry but humans did not evolve in an environment that resulted in chronic high exposures to carbon monoxide and have no inherent capacity to deal with this poison.
Smoking is a terrible thing to do to your health. Almost absurd to worry about diet , exercise, supplements etc. if you smoke.

2) In limited quantities a pipe can add much enjoyment to life. Many great thinkers and doers smoked.
