What about the Altzheimer and Parkinson (smoking lowers the risk)? Do you want to reduce the risk of lung cancer? Smoke pipe or cigar Clinton way (no inhaling).
I wasn't lucky enough to get lung cancer (which has a reasonable survivability rate). I got pancreatic cancer, which has a 96% kill rate in the first 18 months following initial diagnosis. I'm now 7 months past having 2/3rds of my pancreas, spleen and gall bladder removed as well as having a collapsed lung due to complications of pneumonia.
Now think long and hard about this question: do you really think I want to return to using the very thing that made all that possible?
Wow, what an article! It really is just like Woody Allen's "Sleeper"!
