Hiya Ray, good to see ye again. I smoked the pipe for 30 yrs + I enjoyed it and the doc said it wasn't really doing me that much harm.
However my other doctor ( wife ) forced me to give after I had a stroke a few years ago. I didn't stop when SHE told me to as we were going through a lot of stress at the time. I kept it secret until one day I decided to quit myself. I'd been out for messages & on the way home stopped in a quiet parking space & threw my pipes & tobacco into the trees. That was that.
Gettin' too darned expensive here in the uk anyways. Nearly $10 for a packet of 20 cigarettes & I think it's about £4 ( $ 8 ) an oz of pipe tobacco.
