My dad hates cigarette smoke. But he doesn't know anything about cigars. And when I told him I don't inhale he said second hand smoke is still harmful. Then I told him I only smoke out side or with all the doors and windows open in my house and he said if that's the case it might not be so bad, but it's still a waste of money I never once smoked a cigarette in front of him. He is very against them. About 3 months after I quit smoking I came out and told him so, even though I had never really admitted to starting. My mom thinks it's ok just as long as I am not smoking cigarettes too. She likes the smell too Her best friend's husband is a doctor, and he on occasion enjoys a cigar too so that helped my mom see that it's ok. My older brother is still smoking cigarettes and when he hears I quit he says he hates quitters "nobody likes a quitter"

Other then that I don't care what anybody thinks of my habit. And I think I enjoy the looks I get from time to time. It's also nice to be doing something different. If there is one thing I hate, it's being the same as everyone else.
