【英语时差8,16】香烟，烟斗，雪茄（在线收听）

 We all know that smoking cigarettes is bad. But what about smoking a pipe or cigars? Since you don’t inhale, 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, harmless 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.
