I was gonna say "it's more like the difference between getting shot with a .45 versus a .22 rubber BB @ 30 ft-ps MV" but your comparison is much better.

there is a reason smoking a pipe is considered something old men do more so then smoking cigs.I was gonna say "it's more like the difference between getting shot with a .45 versus a .22 rubber BB @ 30 ft-ps MV" but your comparison is much better.
Well, my meteorology's teacher's late father was told by his doctor to ditch the cigarettes and smoke a pipe instead. Of course this was in the 60's or maybe 70's, but still.
That was in the old days.
Today they swallow the camels (and strain out the gnats).
There is a long list, and I'm sure you have one too, of relatives and others obsessed with their health, downing a handful of various supplements and vitamins each day, and other behaviors they picked up from health magazines, that they forgot to actually enjoy life, including the occasional cigar or pipe, or a rare beef steak. I smoke a pipe because I love the experience entirely unlike the cigarettes I used to smoke, because it helps me as a writer in my thoughts and mental meanderings, and I frankly like the self imzge. Yes, there are risks, especially if you over indulge, but as someone else pointed out, genetics has much to do with it, and I would add working environment.
