Thanks for setting this up! It’s important to understand the risks that one must assume to be in a hobby, and ways to mitigate some of those risks if you choose. Thanks again! :)
I smoked my first pipe at age 15. The best pipe tobacco I have ever smoked was called Eclair, from the Tobak Shack in Eagan Minnesota. It was rare I had tongue bite after smoking this tobacco.
I've smoked a pipe for 48 years and so far not had any health issues. But one thing I do which my dentist approves of is have warm salt water (sea salt) mouth washes a few times a week. It keeps the inside of the mouth healthy and soothed. The recipe is a teaspoon of sea salt (no chemical additives) in half a pint of warm water - hold in mouth for a minute, release and repeat. It also keeps bacteria in the mouth down.
@@driftwood1906 Sir I have a question. I smoke pipe for several years now and recently switched to without filters. Much better for me. Anyways Always after smoking pipe and especially cigar I have few days weird feeling in my mouth, tongue ,throat and in my lungs. I dont inhale. How is this possible?
@@sezerkasoglu9911 I think that is just inevitable as there is always going to be some coating of the mouth and throat and even burning by hot smoke, but it is that taste that is sought. In the 19th century it is reported that some wealthy pipe smokers would use servants to smoke the majority of the bowl until they got down to the last part which is called the 'Dottle' because it had the strongest taste and lasting flavour. Personally, I sometimes find that bit can give me hiccups because it is so strong.
A nursing instructor found out I was a pipe smoker. She told me it was difficult to be a health care practitioner while practicing a not healthy life style. She was near hundred pounds overweight
Great video. I struggle with whether or not to continue this enjoyment at time. Only started in my mid-40s 2-3 years ago. The sad fact is, lots of people who do all the health and fitness and diet stuff very strictly also die young from diseases and cancers. If it’s not tobacco, it’s pesticides, polluted water supplies, plastics, car emissions, mosquito bites, car wrecks and on and on. I don’t believe God will allow us to figure it all out. It is appointed for man once to die, then judgement. Everyone is going to die, period, and few live to 90 or over. Our society seems to think if you do everything just right, you won’t have sickness and death but that just isn’t the case. So, enjoy things in a balanced way and stay close to the Maker and Judge. I think that’s the best anyone can do.
@tonytiger7938 and @Smitty419 You both seem like wise gentlemen. I look forward to meeting you once the Lord takes us home. Praise be to Jesus. Here are a few of my favorite verses since I imagine you both have either already read them, or would enjoy reading them. Ecclesiastes 12:13 Numbers 6: 24-26 Luke 10: 38-42 Jude 24-25
You need to look at a broader picture bro. Life expectancy had been and still increasing for both the industrialized world and third world. Despite the cigarette cancer epic, the mistake of nutrition mis guidance of trans fat and saturated fat in the 70s and 80s. My point is what the use of living 3 years longer if you need to keep a super restricted life style for 40 years. Take a look at Keith, yes, Keith Richards, he is a happy man.
This was great. I think Dr. Wease needs to start a RUclips channel. Can't imagine what that many years of pipe smoking insight might add to the community.
Excellent interview, I'm a very light pipe smoker, 0-2 bowls per weekend. Just when I'm in the mood, and want to relax and enjoy. Thanks to the good doctor for sharing his insight on the subject.
Yeah lots of people are completely obsessive about their hobbies. When they drink it's everyday. When they smoke it's many times a day. When they drink coffee it's every few hours. When they play video games it's every days multiple hours. And then they complain about being diseased. Some people are unlucky but most are simply unreasonable.
Just like coffe, cola, fried food or even water it is better to consume a reaonable quantity. If you drink too much water you will die. I smoke a pipe 5 minutes per day and I don't actually fully light it.
Great video brother. My VA Dentist is a Pipe Smoker and he said to do regular checkups, make sure the dentist knows you smoke pipe so he can look for signs, and continually rotate the pipe in your mouth. Next time can you ask about the benefits of nicotine? I have Parkinson's and it really helps me loosen up and clears my mind i.e. the fog, memory, visual things...
checkout vitamin D, Omega 3 fatty acids and you can need to reduce inflammation in your body by changing your diet. New studies indicate that your sickness is reversible! Checkout Dr Bergs youtube channel! Good luck man, I hope this message reaches you!
Excellent interview! I have only been smoking pipes for about 3 years and only recently have I picked up a “routine” I guess you could say. I will normally have a bowl in the mornings with coffee on my days off and then a bowl after dinner every day with the very rare midday chooch. I think moderation, inhale control, and oral care is about all we can do as far as “healthy smoking” goes. Happy smokes YTPC!
The other factors I would like to see if studied. Is life style, how active were the smokers in the studied compared to the non-smoking, Diets, work environments and so on. I'm not naive enogh to believe smoking is healthy, but every smoker I've known including chain smokers have lived into 80's. Or if they died earlier the 2 foot long subs for lunch then Macd's supper and being at least 200 lbs over weight definitely didn't help. Or like my uncle who's a welder from before ventilation was a concern 🙄. My point being most smokers i know tend to live a hard life so im sure that doesn't help either. Either way I'm still going to enjoy my pipe 😉 Thanks for the great video!! Cheers 🍻
This was a GREAT interview, Wilson! I am looking forward to more. I hope you touch on concomitant use of alcohol and tobacco in your interview with the dentist. The use of one or the other is SIGNIFICANTLY LESS risky, in regard to our health, than the combination of the two. I have seen reports that state we are at SIXTY times greater risk for oral cancer with that combination than if we only use those substances individually! Thanks, Cliff
@@RenaissanceEarCandy it is much more dangerous if you combine it, because the alcohol destroys your natural barrier of the mucosa membrane, through which the harmful substances of the tobacco can penetrate worse. If you keep some time between drinking and smoking it should be way better, but best is to reduce drug consumption to one of these, as both can higher your risk of cancer. I personaly dont like alcohol anyway, so thats no problem for me. You just have to consider that everytime you smoke or drink alcohol, you will damage you cells (like with many other things, too). Normally they can regenerate easily, but the more often you do it, the higher is your chance of becoming cancer of one of these damaged cells. Although you have the chance to get cancer from only smoking one time, the risk isnt too high, if you dont smoke more than a pipe every 2-3 days. If you want to reduce your risk any further, you could also use 9mm charcoal filters, which filter a good ammount of nicotine and other harmful substances out of the tabacco. They also reduce tongue bite.
Other sources of nicotine: Tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, teas, including green and black teas, cauliflower, peppers and capsicums. Bottom line….moderation is the key with anything you consume, just as the good doctor stated. Thanks for this video.
Be also interesting to know if family history of oral or digestive tract cancer should weigh into one's decision to take up or continue the hobby. I wrestle with that as my grandfather, a huge pipe smoker, died of stomach and esophageal cancer. Cousin died of it too. Don't know if she had a history of smoking. My grandfather also worked in a chemical plant, so who knows what that contributed. Great topic, Wilson.
I smoke two bowls a day, I may smoke more when I’m backpacking. I also do living history and may smoke up to five bowls when I’m at an event. I like the smell of my English My dad started pipe smoking in his fifties. He hated my English. But one day he was out of tobacco and bowered a couple ounces of mine. We lived way out in the country. And he couldn’t get to town for a bit. After a week he became a solid English smoker. He lived to 93 by the by
Thank you for doing this and sharing it with all of us. It is good to hear this from someone that is educated in the medical field and also enjoys pipes themselves.
Great video. Here's some unsolicited advice. When doing a stream with an iffy connection, try to avoid the small utterances we use in normal conversations to let others know we're interested in what they're saying like "Oh" and "absolutely" and stuff like that. It can create an interruption through the connection and break the thought concentration of the person you're talking to. or make them think you've begun speaking so they stop. Just stay silent until they completely finish a thought then jump in when you hear a bit of dead air. I think that would make the conversation a bit smoother. But otherwise great job and entertaining video. Cheers.
Excellent idea and a helpful and informative interview 😊😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍 Sounds like smoking outside is a big plus. I never thought of nicotine/breakdown products as carcinogens but you live and learn. I am convinced filters are a step toward moderation, as well as smoking less.
As far as I've read, aromathic tobbaco is more harmful due to the stronger artificial chemical involved. But likely moderation and balance are the wisest words.
@@BrunoModigliani Not trying to be argumentative brother but wanted to give a different perspective. Most pipe tobacco blends both aromatic and non have a casing. The difference being that aromatics are blended and cased to form a specific non-tobacco flavor. Non-aromatics have casings to enhance either some of the tobaccos in the blend or all. Those are generally things like honey that offer a sweetness but are not so dominant that it takes over and changes the goal of the blend. I'd also add that pipe tobacco casings are food grade additives. I'd recommend looking up how cigarettes are made on youtube. It is hardly even tobacco in my opinion. Literally the first step is soaking the tobacco to essentially remove it's substance. That end product juice is then reduced to create a stronger concoction, chemicals added etc.
I’m brand new to the pipe world. I remember my uncle always smoking a pipe and the aroma was amazing so as I’ve gotten older I wanted to get in to it. Is there a non-tobacco blend that you would recommend?
I'm also new to the pipe world. I have enjoyed Honeyrose of London herbal smoking blend. It's not quite the same as real tobacco, but it's pretty close, and it smokes well and smells nice.
I record smoking for medical records all the time being a nurse. Even our electronic medical records don't trip up if you smoke less than 1 cigar or pipe a day. I smoke 1 cigar per week or two.
My advice to anyone would be to practice some form of moderation that you are comfortable with. Control of exposure/frequency is the number one tool you have to reduce your risk to a point that you are comfortable with, and that goes for anything in life. Take driving, for example. An American has about a 1 in 107 chance of dying in a car accident in their lifetime. That's an average - if you drive more than the average person, more at night, more in busy areas, etc, then your risk is higher. In some cases, it's necessary to drive to get to work, or to get basic groceries, or whatever. But in many cases, we take drives which are "non-essential". You might take a drive out to a farm to pick berries, or you might drive to go to a concert or a sporting event. Or you might take a short drive to get some ice cream. These are "non-essential" activities which, overall, greatly increase your risk of death or injury compared to if you just stayed at home. Most of us think that the benefits outweigh the increased risk in these cases. But if you aren't personally comfortable with those risks, then you might try to avoid driving as much as possible. We all have to make a personal assessment that we are comfortable with.
I appreciate physician input. But the truth is that there hasn't been extensive research into pipe or cigar effects on the body. They didn't have the studies even thirty some years ago when the surgeon general at the time had to admit that they didn't know. There has been nothing that I have seen to convince me that there is any higher risk of cancer from pipe tobacco then breathing in the fumes and exhaust of spent gasoline that lingers in the air or from the genetically modified products and chemicals found in our food.
Everywhere you look online it’s the same story….. pipe smoking is as bad as cigarettes and any contact with tobacco products whatsoever is deadly ….end of story….. just seems so unfair.
Id have to go back and listen but I believe he means in regard to nicotine content. They are by no means equal in health risks, with cigarettes being far more concerning.
I don't doubt that one cigar contains as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes, but one must also consider how much nicotine is absorbed. Cigarettes have an average of about 8 milligrams (mg) of nicotine, but only deliver about 1 to 2 mg of nicotine. Many popular brands of larger cigars have between 100 and 200 mg, or even as many as 444 mg of nicotine. But how much of the nicotine from a cigar is absorbed/delivered when one does not inhale? All I know is still more than a pipe. Not inhaling while smoking pipe tobacco is the method of smoking with the least risk to my knowledge.
Two things: FDA staff report shows that smoking up to two cigars a day is associated with minimal significant health risks, (it will be same with pipes I guess) - true or false?? What do you think? You can google it, I cannot paste link here because RUclips will delete my comment. 2. What about smoking pipe with activated carbon filter in it?? Makes any difference? Because what i rode is, that activated carbon filters harmful substances from smoke and about 80% of nicotine!
This is late for the topic, but I would suggest looking up, online, "in defense of smokers". There has been so many fraudulent studies on smoking that this might clear the air. WHO found, in an enormous study, that smoking did not cause lung cancer. The particulars are very interesting. Keep in mind that anti smoking groups have ignored or fabricated much of their "facts" and they are paid to find smoking kills everyone including second had smoke breathers. It is all false info but I urge all to study this issue.
Thanks for setting this up! It’s important to understand the risks that one must assume to be in a hobby, and ways to mitigate some of those risks if you choose. Thanks again! :)

2-3 bowls a week. All the enjoyment, limited risk. All things in moderation.
Starting @ 75 is better than 17. I doubt I got much more than 20 years left before the Lord takes me home pipe or no pipe.
Also there is a health benefit from pipe smoking in stress reduction due to the relaxation aspect
This was great. I think Dr. Wease needs to start a RUclips channel. Can't imagine what that many years of pipe smoking insight might add to the community.

How about not smoking at all
Loved this video, only wish all doctors would understand the difference between pipe and cigarette tobacco. Not even the same plant!
Good video Wilson.
Thanks 👍
Epic shirt. Great content!
Thanks!
I would be interested to know if there are any differences in health risks from smoking aromatic blends vs non-aromatic blends.
As far as I've read, aromathic tobbaco is more harmful due to the stronger artificial chemical involved. But likely moderation and balance are the wisest words.
@@BrunoModigliani Not trying to be argumentative brother but wanted to give a different perspective. Most pipe tobacco blends both aromatic and non have a casing.

I smoke my pipe after dinner in evening . That's the only time I enjoy smoking to relax after work .
Me too
Although it seems recent studies indicated no measurable health risk even with 1 to 2 cigars per day.
Great conversation. Thanks for sharing. Wish we defined what smoking in moderation actually was. Try to quantify
Yes that's an important qualifier. Itll be addressed to an extent in an upcoming video.
I’m brand new to the pipe world. I remember my uncle always smoking a pipe and the aroma was amazing so as I’ve gotten older I wanted to get in to it. Is there a non-tobacco blend that you would recommend?
Hi Morgan! Unfortunately I'm not knowledgeable about non-tobacco blends.
I'm also new to the pipe world. I have enjoyed Honeyrose of London herbal smoking blend. It's not quite the same as real tobacco, but it's pretty close, and it smokes well and smells nice.
No doctor or dentist I have ever had recorded me as a smoker. So long as it wasn't cigarettes they didn't care.
I record smoking for medical records all the time being a nurse. Even our electronic medical records don't trip up if you smoke less than 1 cigar or pipe a day. I smoke 1 cigar per week or two.
what kind of tobacco do you smoke whats your diet and lifestyle like
A lot of good info in this video just wish it wasn't choppy
My advice to anyone would be to practice some form of moderation that you are comfortable with. Control of exposure/frequency is the number one tool you have to reduce your risk to a point that you are comfortable with, and that goes for anything in life.
Take driving, for example. An American has about a 1 in 107 chance of dying in a car accident in their lifetime. That's an average - if you drive more than the average person, more at night, more in busy areas, etc, then your risk is higher. In some cases, it's necessary to drive to get to work, or to get basic groceries, or whatever. But in many cases, we take drives which are "non-essential".

These are "non-essential" activities which, overall, greatly increase your risk of death or injury compared to if you just stayed at home. Most of us think that the benefits outweigh the increased risk in these cases. But if you aren't personally comfortable with those risks, then you might try to avoid driving as much as possible. We all have to make a personal assessment that we are comfortable with.
Wow! Bummer! I was enjoying smoking a pipe for several years, but after watching this video I want to quit. 😞
Listen to the other videos on health. Taken together, I wouldn't come away with that thought at all
best recommendation is smoke in moderation and take days/weeks/months off as you go

aromatics are 100% a solid "meh"...
cold shower vs vasoconstriction
I only have a good cigar on special occassions or holidays. Dont smoke every day
This is late for the topic, but I would suggest looking up, online, "in defense of smokers". There has been so many fraudulent studies on smoking that this might clear the air. WHO found, in an enormous study, that smoking did not cause lung cancer. The particulars are very interesting. Keep in mind that anti smoking groups have ignored or fabricated much of their "facts" and they are paid to find smoking kills everyone including second had smoke breathers. It is all false info but I urge all to study this issue.
