Inhaling Smoke

[godfather]

Hi,

I'm reading everywhere that if you inhale while smoking a cigar, you will get very sick.

I was wondering what type of illness does it cause?

I tried a cigar a friend offered and a week after that I started to have anxiety and panic attack-like symptoms, which I never had in my life. I'm not sure if it was caused by the cigar or something else, but I am suspicious because of the time frame.

Is this the illness? Or is it something else?

Thanks.

You're correct. I had a friend who became very sick (rather quickly) from inhaling cigars and ended up dying from lung cancer soon after.

That wasn't an anxiety/panic attack you were experiencing unfortunately. By inhaling the smoke, it appears your lungs were unable to handle it which triggers the symptoms you were feeling. Your lungs have suffered damage, and as a result, your body has gone into a sort of panic mode which is expected in order to get you stop smoking.

If you keep inhaling you will become violently ill and could be endanger of getting cancer.

Just a friendly warning, I'd be careful if I were you.

I always exhale through my mouth and nose and when I breath, I do inhale some smoke,I like it.

Just think of like you're smoking 8 unfiltered Camels simultaneously...sound like a good idea?
