"BURNT OFFERINGS"
The story of Moses and the burning bush, was written to remind man of how smoking must be used to compensate for the organic compounds found in the air he once had, in the environment of the trees. Today, as in the past, burnt offerings allow man the physical health, and therefore the mental ability, needed to commune with history in the form of words.
For man to have started smoking, he needed a reason, and the reason is still the same today. Man found that by smoking different substances he could maintain better health, by supplying the body rapidly with needed elements, and at the same time combat many microscopic organisms. The rapid oxidization of the substances, cooks any organisms on the plant while chemically braking down the elements. It was wise for man to begin to use for his betterment the fact that elements enter the blood system faster through the lungs, and not only does the burning of the bush take the place of digestion, it also save the energy it would take to digest. Man soon found that he could better control his mind with a more controlled diet. And that each person could seek-out, through experiment, an herb that might help balance his metabolism.
The burning bush has been educational to man, but it has caused man to have to develop his self-discipline, a major move away from the animals. Let us not forget, what got us here, what formed man from the dust of the earth, and without which we would fall back.
From: Encyclopedia Americana, -by Eric Partridge-
One of the most interesting facts about tobacco pipes is that they have not only a fascinating cultural history but also an illuminating word history that renders the cultural history much more human."

NIACIN:
IF YOUR NOT SMOKING, YOUR MISSING OUT!
SMOKING:
A HIGHER FORM OF CONSUMPTION.
ANIMALS SHOW THEIR FEAR OF SMOKE. MAN HAS LEARNED TO OVERCOME
THAT FEAR, AND BENEFIT FROM SMOKE, IN MANY WAYS.
LIKE HE DID WITH FIRE.
If a person begins to show signs of digression, by trying to tell you the tradition of smoking is harmful, there is a way you can help them.
Help them brake away from the herd-like mentality that they have adopted by showing them how you have gained awareness through a personal relationship with that which is educational. Soon they will again be active members of the human race. Seeking wisdom and knowledge as if it were gold and silver. Instead of a pat on the head from members of a herd.
