1.) the ides to misuse a white lady for soap bubbles is
obscene. *shrug*
2.) I started smoking 'cos I wanted to - never minded about so called coolnes and what the mob thinks of me. Apart from that - pipe doesn't really "go with the masses"
3.) hmm... bystanders: even in the times when smokers weren't kind of hunted down - I'd never have smoked pipe in very crammed or small places - so in fact I recieved by far more mositive comments about being something like a walking incense stick dispenser
than complaints. Funny enough it have been mostly life-long non-smokers who liked the aroma of the tobacco mixtures.
In contrary to that, the worst (i.e. nearly spitting their complaints out) are the ex-smokers...
