This wasn't that unusual. I started smoking a pipe in the late 1970s at college, too. Lots of guys were doing it. Cigars were rare, but cigarette and pipe smoking was fairly common in my experience.
This was coming at the tail end of pipe smoking as a popular pastime nationally. By the time my wife graduated from the same school three years later, (1983)no smoking floors were cropping up in all the dormitories.
Now I need to go take a long shower....I accidently read something on the HuffPost....I need to pay more attention to links in the future.
Ick!!
