On balance Native Americans are the worlds most successful mass murderers. They introduced us to smoking tobacco which has killed countless billions. There are more Native Americans alive today than when we first settled. We grew their population over time with industry and helped them to kill billions. It's all perspective I guess.

What's funny about this is that this is how SJWs think. They like to say we purposely gave them "infected blankets" when the truth is cross cultural contamination simply brought a disease they had no immunity to.

edit: Not all of history is a boogeyman waiting in the shadows.

Inhaling any sort of smoke increases chances of cancer at least a little bit. Heat and particulate both cause problems.

You're essentially right though. Bleached paper, accelerants, adhesives, MAOIs, menthol, pesticides, and whatever they make those filters out of are all far worse than the natural leaf in a long-stem wood pipe.

Pipe smoker here. There is a world of difference between chemically treated cigarette tobacco and a pure untreated Virginia or Kentucky blend.

The stem length doesn't really affect the mixture of the smoke, it only helps to cool it.

The biggest difference between cigarettes and pipes is that pipe smoke gets puffed and never inhaled, which vastly cuts down on health risks.

I used to enjoy a good pipe. Even hand some homegrown organic tobacco from a friend. Unfortunately the smell drove me off, and then health reasons made me quit altogether.

I actually disagree on the stem length. Longer stems do provide more cooling, which is a health benefit, but they also provide a lot of extra surface area for some of the residue to adhere to the stem rather than your mouth or lungs.

As for the mouth vs. lungs thing, I wonder how the natives smoked? Seems like a hard thing to document, considering the language barrier at the time of introduction.
