INTERESTING FACTS: From a source you'd never expect, too! 

"Pipe smokers who inhale live just as long as nonsmokers. Pipe smokers
who don't inhale live longer than nonsmokers (death rate 20% less than
for nonsmokers.)" 
			- Surgeon General's Report
			  Public Health Service Publication #1103, p. 92

"Death rates for current pipe smokers are little if at all higher than
for nonsmokers even with men smoking 10 pipefuls per day and with men
who had smoked pipes for more than 30 years."

			- Ibid, p. 112

Got these at the NY Pipe Club show last weekend; to whoever took the
time to copy these and handed them out, thanks!

NEWS NOTE: Regular readers of alt.smokers.cigars already know this,
but a warehouse of Arturo Fuente's was destroyed by fire last
week. Get yer AFs while you still can!
