Also, if you are considering a relatively safe alternative to cigarette smoking, you may want to look at pipe smoking.
"Death rates for current pipe smokers are little if at all higher than for nonsmokers, even with men smoking 10 pipefuls per day and with men who had smoked pipes for more than thirty years." "Pipe Smokers who inhale live just as long as nonsmokers. Pipe smokers who don't inhale live longer than nonsmokers." (Death rate 20% less than for nonsmokers)"

Now, this was off a pipe website but I've seen similar information in a small number of health journal articles that think to include pipes.
