You all seem to be in the dark concerning types of smokers. There are tobacco smokers and users that do not inhale smoke into their lungs. Then there are those cigarette smokers, most of which do inhale smoke into their lungs inviting lung cancer. Almost all pipe and cigar smokers don’t inhale smoke into their lungs, since there are no taste buds in the lungs, and smoking a pipe or cigars is not about getting a nicotine fix, it’s about taste. Smoking a pipe or cigars is as harmless as drinking a cup of tea. Then of course there are the tobacco chewers and sniffers; since direct and prolonged contact with a tobacco product is required, this activity can cause cancer. If anyone is going to get even with the system, deservedly so, it should be pipe and cigar smokers, since they practice safe smoking and do not get cancer.
