Dad was a pipe smoker for at least 35 years. 2 or 3 bowls a day.

Parkinson's diagnosed in 1997. Passed in 2005.

Nice to hear baccy getting a positive spin, though.

I'm inclined to agree. My former shop head at the museum was a cigar smoker, probably since the 50s (5 or 10 a day), and it's been determined that he's had Parkinson's setting in for the last six years.
