I had smoked cigarettes for about 34 years and switched to a pipe in about 1991 when I worked at Arco Materials in Prudhoe Bay. My supervisor didn't like the smell of cigarettes and when they made the no smoking rule in buildings, she told me that I could smoke at the back of the warehouse if I was working inside. I smoke either of two mixtures that have no preservatives. One is called Black Vanilla and the other is called Point Barrow. At a tobacco shop in Anchorage there was an article taped to the cash register stating that the Surgeon General says that pipe smokers do not get lung cancer, and so far, I'm living proof.
