lungs.
Admittedly, that's not quite the
same as taking in the deep
breaths of concentrated smoke
that the inhaling cigarette smoker
t akes; and it can also be said, in
defence of pipes and cigars, that
the smoke they produce burns at
lower temperatures and comes
from tobacco that is likely to be
less impregnated with chemicals.
Moreover, it's only tobacco' that's
smoked -- not paper.
Against that, it must be
recorded that cigars and pipes
have been clearly implicated in
various cancers, notably of,the
throat and lip, and in a number, of
respiratory problems. The clear
fact, as Dr. Delarue sees it, is that
taking smoke into' the body is
obviously not going to do any
good -- and may well do
considerable harm.
While others may argue that
pipes or cigars represent an
alternative for the man who must
smoke something,• they offer no
such option to women - (except in
such . tolerant countries as
Denmark where women do smoke
cigars). Perhaps this is because
pipes, at least, are such noxious,
messy , graceless and anti-social.
instruments that . no
self-respecting woman would be

It seems rather odd that pipe
and cigar smoking eontin !ICS to

Increasingly, ostracized.
Perhaps, in considering the
dangers of smoking, we should bk.
less kind to the pipe and the
cigar, considering them, as. King
James I did, "a custom loathsome
to the eye, hateful to the nose.
.harmful to the brain, .dangerous
