Yeah, this is crap but what are you going to do about it. The Nazis outnumber us 10 to 1.
"Come here daughter, let me tell you something...The tobacco revolution of 2026 was brutal. But in the end, we prevailed."
Read through one of the studies referenced. Not surprising non cigarette tobacco use is up.
Everyone that took the Covid vaccine took a much greater gamble with their long term health than enjoying pipes occasionally. Unpopular opinion: more is known about the long term effects of tobacco use than is known about long term health effects of MRNA vaccines in humans. I’m sure the research literature will have more to say about both in decades to come.
Total disclosure, I did get the Covid vax, and I also enjoyed a fantastic bowl of Arrowhead today. Life is about enjoying. Thanks for posting the article OP.

Also. It appears that the lower end of the 95% confidence interval for pipe smoking could mean that a person that enjoys pipes has the same statistical hazard ratio as a non-smoker. I’m going to be enjoying more Arrowhead tomorrow while walking my dog.
I'm in the same boat. To me it was take my chances with the bug or the cure. So it is with tobacco. The air around me is filled with crap I'm sure, the soil, the food, the added salt and sugars, the millions of other bugs around me, so why worry about the puddle in front of me when there is a wave coming into shore. As if changing only the tobacco in my life would somehow let me live forever.
Although anecdotal I've seen a lot more ancient men smoking pipes then cigarettes. Many who started when they were barely young men. Or as a doctor told me cigarettes will kill you. Other tobacco sorta might if you're already unlucky.
Thanks for the link. This excerpt was also interesting;
“ According to a study of American males published in 2010, there is no difference in mortality risk between cigar smokers and non-smokers once you adjust for cigarette smoking and other confounding variables. A subsequent study, also from the USA, found that pipe and cigar smokers have a higher rate of mortality than non-smokers but a much lower rate than cigarette smokers, with the risks of cigar smoking being 80 per cent lower and the risks of pipe smoking 90 per cent lower.”
Not to sidetrack, but which arrowhead are you smoking? Have you done a review here yet?Al

I love my pipe & it won't stop. Quite excited that I may end up buying my 1792 Flake through a 'dealer'!! Also since more tax was added to sugared pop and we have been told not to drink it, I have drank more. Protest, but also prefer it. Sugar free cola for me is poop. My Navy Rum always needs proper Coke or Pepsi. Just not same without. Rant over
It's a good thing I don't take studies seriously. Just a bunch of bulls%!@ written by people full of s@%?.
Pipe smoking , for me, is more than worrying about the statistics. Hell, you can walk outside and get hit by a bus! Life is too short, there seems to be too many things not to enjoy. Well as for me I love this hobby ,no this lifestyle,the collecting, the tobaccos,the journey!
Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow you may die.
My dad dropped dead of cardiac arrest recently at the age of 65. Never smoked or drank once in his life and in end he still got his time cut short with no warnings, so needless to say I'm not too worried about my pipe smoking.
