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 caught dead with one. It seems rather odd that pipe and cigar smoking eontin !ICS to enjoy social respectability while eigaiettes are becoming 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 to the lungs, and in the black stinking fume thereof, nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke &The pit that is bottom- less".
