This is some of the best info I've ever found. Pretty unbiased.

Life will kill, eventually. Christopher Reeve's wife never smoked and she died of lung cancer. With all the crap in the things we eat and the things we drink, check out what's in the air we breath, why worry. My grandfather smoked 2 or 3 packs of cigarettes a day for 45 years. Not a drop of cancer. I am not advocating going out and using heroine or meth or something stupid like that, but cigars, liquor... why waste your time worrying about it? Throw me a piece of red meat on the grill, fire me up a stick, and pour myself a nice glass of something and enjoy what time God sees fit to give me.

I will leave the worrying to the people that have yet to learn how to enjoy life!

smoking one cigar a day will cause cancer???......no,not neccessarily....



there is nobody who has ever done a study that suggests this...with credibility...

[SuperChuck]

It's really hard to find a credible study these days. Research is based on grants. Grants come from the government. Govenment is run by politicians.

My mother does tobacco research for a living. Every project she's ever worked on is aimed at making tobacco look bad. Let's face it, if she put in a grant to disprove some research, it would never get funded. No one wants to put the approval stamp on some pro-smoking research. That's political suicide!

I think that sucks. As a scientist, I'd like to see more unbiased studies...

-------

Another thing I'm reminded of is the "red wine is good for you" theories that started to pop up several years ago. Turns out evil alcohol could be good for you in moderation... But only red wine. Numerous theories were thrown around about the skins of grapes and such.

As more research was done, it became clear that alcohol in moderation (be it beer, wine, or spirits) is good for you. So why did we only cite red wine previously? Because red wine is often viewed as a "sophisticated drink". Who could ever think that a lowly beer drinker could profit from the same benefits as someone drinking red wine???

I believe that if we could do some scientific research on the actual quantity of alcohol that should be consumed for optimum affect, we would find that it is really more like 5 beers. Well, at least that's when I start to "feel" like the beer is having a positive affect.

If you stop smoking them and eat the cigars its much healthier
