". . . none of the Mahatmas smoke, and the legend 
about the pipe used by one of them was actually
based on a story told in a light vein by H. P. 
Blavatsky, in which she mentioned the Hindu pipe 
smoked by Master M., but omitted to explain with 
what the pipe was filled. The reason was that M. M., 
coming down from the heights, of course felt the 
entire burden and pressure of the atmosphere of 
the valleys; thus FOR RELIEF He smoked, or inhaled 
a special preparation of ozone. Hence, the legend 
about the pipe and smoking." caps added.

Compare the above "explanations" with what we
find in a letter from Master M.:

"...I was at Ch-in-ki (Lhassa). Smoking your pipe. . . . 
Then I put aside my pipe. . . . "

Notice he was neither visiting Sikkim nor "coming
down from the heights".
