I don't wish to come across as negative, but even the ostensibly favourable link that OP has included mentions how bad pipe smoking is for you.
>Tobacco smoking represents the leading single preventable cause of chronic disease, including cancer, cardiovascular, and respiratory diseases.
>Cigars and/or pipe smokers were at increased risk for head and neck [HR, 1.51; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.22–1.87], lung (HR, 2.04; 95% CI, 1.68–2.47), and liver cancers (HR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.08–2.26).
You're literally giving yourself cancer and shortening your own life.
Why would you be so stupid?
>but I don't inhale!!!
Doesn't matter. You still massively increase your risk of cancer.
>I only do it occasionally!!
Irrelevant, even those who had quit pipe smoking had increased chances of cancer over those who had never smoked: "Ever-smokers of cigars and/or pipe had an increased risk of developing a smoking-related cancer when compared with never smokers of any tobacco product".
Oh, and by the way, you are risking giving yourself not just cancer, but the most horrific cancers imaginable: esophagus, throat, voice box.
