i dont see any problem with it. i mean, its your money, and if you enjoy it why let others tell you you cant. thats the whole point of being a different person. and hell you dont have to start smoking again, but if you get the urge to do so, even once you will always have a bowl. and no need to hide it, though watch out for the sticky fingers of the people you know. i have a co worker who bought a bowl and doesnt smoke anymore, he did get it on the cheap, but he just has it now.
