Wow this got moving ! just got back from a trip to the high country , got 8 Ptarmigan with my Parker but had no pipe to enjoy ... too damn cold to take off my gloves to light it if I did ,I have no doubt tobacco is addictive no doubt at all but we all should be able to make our own choices ,this day and age we all know the consequence .....I have not smoked mine in likely three months ,I may tonight or maybe in a month from now who knows ? the mood strikes when it does , I've never found myself craving anything tobacco related just my personality I geuss,

but if a growed man wants to play Pirate and run around with a knife in his mouth its his choice really ,if he wants to put it in mine and push me around then that's different .

The old man smoked two packs a day and quit cold turkey ...he passed thirty years later from an aggressive brain tumor ,that was a surprise for everyone DR. included.

I don't really think it matters really what we do ,but moderation is the key I feel
