trailboss: I read and reread starcat. Best I can tell is that he didn't say anything. I know who Simon Cowell but I don't understand why anyone would have an interest in his health habits.
After pondering these weighty sociological discussions I have come to accept an undeniable truth:
Ewoks are excellent when served over rice.

Lessee.... we have "pipe smoking", "oral sex", "leprosy", and "Orwellian society" all milling about in the same thread.

I mostly don't return to threads unless I am looking for an answer to a previous question.
If you are walking down a path thats " loaded " with fear, then are being given a choice to get off that path or get out of the fear.
If the fear is being sown from an outside source and is not valid to your being, your personal truth, and your reality, then it can be stopped cold and you can carry on.
Humans are not meant to live in constant fear and its very bad for us indeed.
Whats going on in this world is not at all what many might think it is.
We are living in and through the age of lies and very deep manipulation that goes so far beyond what average people think is possible or plausible, many would fall down dead on the spot if contronted with the total energetic truth of it all.
Consider people who don't deal in beliefs and disbeliefs but only operate in real knowledge of experience. In that realm beliefs and disbeliefs are strictly childish.
Beliefs are things that the ego " wants " to be true. Disbeliefs are things that the ego " does not want " to be true.
Within you true self, you will find " your " truth if you can get there.
Causality is not even remotely understood.
The best possible news is that all certainty is going to be utterly shattered, because a system thats based on this many lies cannot continue forever.
This is certain and no thing in the multiverse can stop it.
All the best

As one poster previously noted, this thread has certainly moved a great distance from its OP. Starcat is on target when he says to get off the path or get out of the fear. Most of us who are pipe smokers have chosen to get out of the fear. Why? Because of Trailboss's very cogent observation that in the full range of dangers we might face in life, Pipesmoking "ain't worth a fart."
My latest information is that the mortality rate is 100%. Believe it or not, somethings going to get you. Will it be pipe smoking? I don't know – I've been doing it for 54 years and it seems to have given me far more pleasure than pain, so much so that I am highly unlikely to quit. Besides, I spent a year in combat, got wounded in action, drive on the roads every day, eat charcoal broiled foods, and engage in far more hazardous activities than smoking my pipe. The greatest danger appears to have occurred during my student days, one one of my professors noted that he was amazed how I managed to sleep in class while smoking my pipe. He always figured I was going to let the thing fall out of my mouth and set myself on fire, immolating myself in front of all my classmates.
I want to die like my grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep, not like the passengers in his car – screaming.

BEST QUOTE OF THIS THREAD!
As for living in Orwellian times, it's been Orwellian times since Og smacked Grog with a mammoth tusk and blamed Mook.
You can either live in fear or live despite fear.
Humans are certainly meant to live in a state of, if not fear, at least awareness and alertness. As we are both predators and prey at times, it behooves use to always be on guard, which is another way of saying, live scared and you'll most likely live longer (that is not to say that one should cower in the face of adversity). A certain amount of paranoia is very healthy; as is a good dose of skepticism.
No-where in starcat's rather nebulous recitation of dangers is there anything new. Human's have been either exerting control or trying to, over other humans as long as there have been humans on earth. Nothing very earth shaking here. But we sure have come a long way from the origins of this thread.
It is entertaining though! I just might have to drag Orwell down from the shelf, dust him off and reread a few passages, nasty socialist that he was.

Orwellian? Let me tell you just how much. Here's a line I use frequently in my lectures: in August, 1914, a group of Yugoslavian teenagers assassinated an Austrian Duke. In retaliation for this act, Germany invaded Belgium. Since then, nothing in the world has made sense.
So, to return from the Twilight Zone, will gargling between puffs prevent smoking related illness?

Without a doubt, but not to fear. I just read that Listerine is developing a pipe tobacco. Not only will it be a totally safe smoke, but it will get rid of plaque and tartar as well.
