Anon – this goes back to the famous Surgeon General’s Report on smoking.
I think that nowadays there are so few pipe smokers that statistics are not kept. In my 18 years of smoking (1988-2004) I saw so many tobacconists, pipemakers and brands of tobacco disappear in both the US and Europe because of waning interest in pipe smoking. In the frum world, I do not think you could put together a minyan of pipe smokers in any major frum neighborhood these days.
