I used to work with a older man who smoked a pipe. For anyone who hasn't been around a pipe being smoked, it is nothing like cigarette smoke. It doesn't stink and make me gag. Quite the contrary, the tobacco he used always seemed really good... Don't know about the health issues with pipe smoking, as compared to cigarettes, but I find pipe smoking to be inoffensive to be around, compared to cigarettes...

We said goodbye to Nova a few months ago and we don't miss it one bit. I used to enjoy a good cigar but since having a baby I just can't stand smoke. My husband and I bought maybe a pack of cigarettes a year and would sit on our deck in the freezing cold bundled up with a good glass of wine and a cigarette or cigar. We never got addicted to tobacco of any kind, and we could have a couple a day for a week and then not touch them for 6 months. I've never understood how people can get addicted to tobacco.

I don't think this is new. The only thing "new" about it back then was that kids were stuffing tobacco instead of "whacky weed" in to the pipe. The hookah fad is big around DC. I know of two hookah bars near my house. There was a pipe smoking fad back in 1982 during my last quarter of college. I don’t think this is new.

My first residence was Dupont Circle, in the late 60s, just in time to have a grandstand seat (7th floor, 20th & O) to watch the tear gas and demonstrations. Rush hour, then, consisted on taking the elevator to the basement floor. I finally "fled" the city life for the Va. 'burbs. Times have certainly changed and I have no regrets in leaving the area back in May. No day laborers, no big traffic jams, and people, in stores, actually speak English. I had an infection back in November and had to go to the ER. I think I waited a total of 5 minutes before being seen and treated. You all can keep D.C.. And, the kids can keep their pipes. Like when I was growing up, it's a fad; won't last long. I spent 40 years in the D.C. area.
