Ditto the simple common courtesy.

I am a pipe smoker. Have been for 13 years now. gave up cig's. because I hated smelling like a butt.
My pipe brings far more good comments than bad. Many people actually stand closer.

But alas, I'm not into fancy pipes, or fancy blends. I have three common, good service pipes that I use on a rotating basis everyday.
My tobacco comes from a drug store in the states and is a mixture of virginia and cavendish in a ratio of 40%/ 60%. No flavoring, no frills.

OK, maybe it will kill me. And then again it may be the polyester fibers that constantly float about my kilt shop. In a single day the "dust" from the machines can leave a noticable film on every surface.

I figure after 56 years including 20 yrs. of jungles, deserts, and oceans, with little hot pieces of metal flying around, and all the accompaning jet fuel fumes, 10 yrs of styrene monomers from fibreglass resin, with the assorted zylene, acetone, and methyl-ethel-keytone exposure thrown in for good measure, that I'm about due for a visit from the guy with the sythe. But I'll tell you, when he comes, he better bring friends.

"For when to the Pearly Gates I go,
to Saint Peter I can tell,
another Marine reporting Sir,
I've served my time in Hell.
