How Unhealthy is Pipe Smoking?

Hi Everyone,

Lately i have been considering buying a tobacco pipe, as I like the idea of relaxing with a pipe after a long day, collecting my thoughts. However, I am strongly deterred by the possible health risks of pipe smoking. I am curious as to how unhealthy 3-4 pipes a week would be. I would not have the time to smoke a pipe every day, and I do not intend to. I lead a rather healthy lifestyle, with plenty of exercise and a fairly balanced diet. I also have no intentions of inhaling, as I once did accidentally while smoking a cigar, and found it very unpleasant. Anyways, any thoughts on the subject are greatly appreciated.

Suggestion:

There are plenty of studies out there that show pipe smokers can outlive non smokers. Pipe smoking is the safest form of smoking, and I don't know where Roddy is getting his information from. Pipe tobacco does not have any chemical additives. Well, maybe his tobacco does, but the pipe tobacco I smoke, is all natural with food grade flavorings. You really have nothing to worry about with moderate pipe smoking.
