[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 265299, member: 2318"] P.S. Re: Pipes, relaxation techniques and rhythmic breathing My doctor nags me to quit smoking even though she can't find any objective reason to say that pipe smoking for 50 years has done me any harm. Once I told her that pipes are a health aid, particularly in the areas of calmness and relaxation. "Pipe smoking helps me control at will my heart rate and BP," I told her. "Right. Show me," she said strapping on the cuff. I picked a spot on the wall to stare at and went into a slight exaggeration of my breathing technique while smoking. The needle for HR dipped to 55, then 50, then 48 . . . "Stop!" she cried. "Don't do that, you could faint!" [/QUOTE]
