    Abstract: A pressure-sharing and burning-enhancing structure for tobacco bowl of a smoking pipe includes a pressure-sharing member that is positioned or formed inside the tobacco bowl of the smoking pipe with the pressure-sharing member occupying a fragmental portion of the cross-sectional area of the tobacco bowl whereby in vertically and downward stuffing tobacco into the bowl, the pressure-sharing member effectively shares the vertical pressure applied to the tobacco in order to prevent the portion of the tobacco adjacent the bottom of the bowl from excessive depression and accumulation of humidity therein and consequently resulting in more complete burning of the tobacco inside the tobacco bowl and realizing pressure-sharing and burning-enhancing of the bottom portion of the tobacco.
