Harold Wilson and a general defence of smoking (Newspaper article)

[pipeherman]

Hello all, I remember there was a lot of interest in a thread on what people thought of Pipe smokers. Well I have found this article on Harold Wilson and Pipe Smoking, think it may provide interest. Especially as you will read Mr Wilson prefered Cigars, but chose to smoke pipes in public instead.

Thanks.

An excellent read.

A call to common sense.

The sad thing is that they have been showing Churchill without his cigar. At least here in America, they have.
