Why did you remove my link on the health effects of smoking cigars and pipes? It was a link to WebMD, a well respected source for medical info.

: Hello Laughing Buddha. Thanks for you input. While WebMD has a lot of good medical information, this particular article was typical of the medical literature that attempts to lump pipes and cigars in with cigarettes by establishing the idea that all forms of tobacco are evil. This article allowed for some minor differences, which is better than some articles, but there remains in it a number of well documented inaccuracies typical of the medical literature. If you are really interested in this subject you could read through some of the other material we have linked too. | |||
:In return, I would like to ask you why you linked to the article. I note that it is your one and only contribution to Pipedia, made shortly after you registered. My guess is your not really interested in pipes, but are just against tobacco. This wiki is for those of us who are interested in pipes and pipe smoking. Our take of this issue is going to be more nuanced than one would typically expect of the general public. --[[User:Sethile|sethile]] ([[User talk:Sethile|talk]]) 08:39, 10 January 2013 (CST) | |||
