: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) | :In return, I would like to ask you why you linked to the article.

::I have mixed feelings about pipe smoking because I used smoke pipes on and off for 15 years. I have three Savinellis, two Nordings and one Dr. Grabow to prove it. Also, my favorite tobacco brand was Peter Stockkebye's. Unfortunately, I eventually became addicted and smoked so often that I was staining my teeth and burning my mouth. Also, my dentist repeatedly warned me of the dental problems associated with pipe smoking including mouth cancer, so I stopped, which was very difficult for me. (However, I recently noticed England's "Pipe Smoker of the Year" list on Wikipedia. Many of them lived past 70. I found this very confusing.) | |||
::I noticed your section titled Pipe Smoking Health and perused through it. It seemed to lack emphasis on the health hazards of pipe smoking. I sincerely believe pipe smokers should smoke with their eyes wide open with respect to the information of the health hazards of smoking and for that reason I added the WebMD link. By the way, I was planning to make other contributions that had nothing to do with health-related issues but my conscience would have bothered me had I not added information to the health section first. | |||
::Even though the health hazards of smoking scare the hell out of me, I still love admiring the craftsmanship and artistry of pipes themselves. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent looking at pics of pipes on the internet. It's like porn for me.
