【英语时差8,16】香烟，烟斗，雪茄

 We all know that smoking cigarettes is bad. But what about smoking a pipe or cigars? Since you don’t inhale¹, is it better for your health? Or at least less bad? Good question. So first, it’s true that cigarettes are in a league of their own when it comes to ruining your health. And it’s also true that pipes and cigars have an aura of sophistication and, perhaps, harmless² merriment. But the fact is that in their own way, pipes and cigars are plenty bad for you. Like cigarettes, smoking a pipe or cigar is linked to all sorts of cancers. Cancer of the lung, lip, tongue, mouth, and throat, to name a few.
