chemicals added to cigarettes

[cigar no baka]

I have read that if you smoke one cigar per day or less, your chances of getting various cancers of the throat/tongue etc are elevated, but nearly as high as those who smoke 2-3 sticks per day, and both of those pale in comparison to the chances for various cancers from smoking and inhaling cigarettes.

I'm not saying that smoking cigars is not hazardous, but research I have read shows it to be far less dangerous than smoking and inhaling cigarettes. It may also be due to the fact that cigarette smokers smoke much more frequently than cigar smokers, and inhale to boot.

Or less Cigarettes :-P

I have a hard time enjoying a cigar while thinking about cancer. The hazards of smoking anything cannot be denied. If it bothers you that much, find a different hobby. Otherwise, just smoke your goddamn cigar.

I jsut turned 70 and have been smoking an average of 8 Cigars a day since I was around 30 years old and my health is better than my doctors .
HELL, WHO WANTS TO LIVE ANY LONGER THAN THAT???

Opie, I agree. The opportunity to be spared from a rest home the last 15 years of my life is actually part of the appeal of smoking for me. I bet if all these health nannies could watch a parent or grandparent turn into a vegetable from Alzheimer's disease like my great-grandpa did, they'd be less likely to see "longer lives" as such a utopian scenario. Of course, the opposite extreme isn't worth much either, but I'll take my chances, particularly considering how much I love cigars.

Well Opie....I do. I wish I could live forever. Of course always in perfect health and mental state with the body of a 30 year-old.

Think of what you could see.

THINK OF ALL THE CIGARS YOU COULD SMOKE IN ETERNITY!!!!!!!!!!

Think real hard about what you just said. The thought of living forever would drive me nuts. Life is already becoming boring. I couldn't stand another 50 years.
