I smoke cigs more than occasionally. (pack a week?) I don't want to sound like some anti with an agenda but....smoking kills!
It will get all of us (no matter what we smoke) if we live long enough.
If you are a cig smoker already and aren't looking to quit, why not look into RYO. You can buy better tobacco and enjoy the process of having a smoke.
As for pipe tobacco, there are blends that will put a smoker on their but long before inhaling. (if you decide its the nic and not just having a smoke)
whether you make a choice or not....
Enjoy the ride
