PREFACE
Most pipe smokers consider themselves greatly different from the other users of tobacco, and as such they must be approached in a much different manner when discussing possible health consequences of their utilization of tobacco. As a result, many needs have been voiced from pipe smokers who would like to know where their type of tobacco use fits into the voluminous literature now pouring forth on the health effects of tobacco use.
In an attempt to obtain a more accurate perspective on the subject, this literature
review is being compiled, which represents a current bibliography, with index, of
articles dealing with the health effects of pipe smoking. The compiler of this work
has a personal interest in the subject both from the perspective being a pipe smoker
as well as a toxicologist. It is hoped this compilation will prove beneficial to pipe
smokers, as well as health professionals who have to deal with patients who use
tobacco in this form.
This review effort is a dynamic process, and the work is constantly being revised
with new citations as they are published. If individuals know of any additional
literature citations, please send copies of articles to the compiler listed above.
