Re: Pipe Smoking

In those far off days when I did smoke, I too smoked roll ups, but never got the hang of doing it by hand so got me one of those little machines, they were a doddle.

As for the dangers of pipe smoking, a very dear friend of mine was a pipe smoker. His dentist noticed a tiny lesion on the side of his tongue and advised him to see his doctor. He thinks to himself 'tiny lesion, cannot be that bad' and off he toddles. Doctor sends him to Oncologist. "That has to go" says the big guy and my friend goes to theatre still thinking about the 'tiny' lesion that was barely visible to the naked eye. Comes round with half his face missing! Most of his tongue and half his lower jaw, gone. Within weeks he was in a wheelchair so weak could barely move, and not long after he was gone. So think on, pipes are not anywhere near as harmless as you may think. All that liquified nicotine deposited on the same spot hour after hour, day after day....
