I moved from cigarettes to pipe smoking and very much enjoyed smoking a pipe and would never have reverted to cigarettes.
I gave up smoking, (after trying it for 45 years!), about 4 years ago following a major emergency life saving operation when it was suggested that I would heal better if I did not smoke.
I did enjoy smoking my pipe and although I did not suffer any withdrawal symptoms because of the shock of the operation, when I do see anyone smoking a pipe I still think "you lucky so and so".
Smoking is unpopular nowadays but I think it less damaging than walking down a city street full of mainly unnecessary vehicle fumes.
