The message
from (Nick Maclaren) contains these words:

While I agree that the information provided is so one-sided as to be
close to propaganda, there has been little doubt for at least three
decades that giving up cigarettes is almost always a good bet on the
health front. I believe that this is also true for cigars, but have
no idea whether it is so for pipes.

Cancers of the lip and tongue are more frequent amongst pipe smokers.
