A member asked:
What is the life expectancy of someone who smokes pipe tobacco vs. cigarettes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pipe vs cigarettes: Both of these increase the risk of lung disease, heart disease and cancer and so can reduce life expectancy. The amount of decrease is related to the amount smoked, and the duration of the smoking more than whether they smoked a pipe or cigarettes.
