I think there are a lot of other factors involved regarding this. You can mention Milton Berle, Winston Churchill, George Burns, but then again there were a couple of other famous cigar smokers who died of oral/throat cancer: Sigmund Freud and Babe Ruth. Freud was very fond of his cocaine along with his cigars, and Ruth drank like a fish. Connection? Maybe. In any case, I don't worry much about it.

Re: Cigar health issues...do you guys ever worry about it???
I'm overweight (working on getting that down), work in a fast paced/high stress job (911 dispatcher), have mildly high blood pressure & have a family history of cardiac issues, so my 3-4 cigars a week are the least of my worries. Especially since they help the diet by giving me something else to do when I'm bored besides eating, & seem to help with the stress & BP by giving me a chance to just sit down & relax & unwind. The way I see it, when it's your time, it's your time. Might as well enjoy the life we have.

I can see how a 2 pack a day smoker could greatly increase his risk of cancer and other health problems, but my 2 or 3 cigars a week? The risk increase is probably so small it would have to be measured in fractions of a percent.

The original, only non-biased Surgeon General's report from 1964 concluded that cigar smokers mortality rate is virtually the same as a non-smoker. It also concluded that pipe smokers mortality rate was lower than non-smokers.
What is there to be worried about? You have decidedly better chance getting killed in a car wreck on the way to work. Think about that. |
Re: Cigar health issues...do you guys ever worry about it???
Interesting thread I just switched to sticks for this very reason. 3 weeks ago I was a pack a day smoker now I smoke one acid crush (at lunch) and one robusto in the eve. I couldn't feel better no more coughing or hacking brown bits in the morning. I also get an level of enjoyment I had lost a long time ago with cigs
On a long enough timeline the line expectancy for everything goes to zero |

Don't sweat the small things. DO not worry or stress out over things that you have no controll over.
I do not worry. When people tell me that it is just as bad as a cigarette, I say, so be it. It is what I chose and what I live with. As stated many times in the thread, You are dying soon as you are born. I enjoy what I do and do it with no regrets. I enjoy the life I have and if something strikes me and I have time to help/change my habits, I will adjust to it then. |
Re: Cigar health issues...do you guys ever worry about it???
I loved smoking in my initial years. But later, I tried almost everything to quit. Every time I ended up in tears feeling really depressed. I started investing my time in reading some good blogs on quitting cigarette and it really helped. I hope that this article https://www.everydayhealh.com//guide/ is similarly effective for you, good luck.

Not really. Living in Joisey, I'm more concerned with the lunatics who think they can drive on the roads. Smoking 1-2 sticks over the weekend, paired with a double of Balvenie 14, gives me the opportunity to relax after a 90 hour week.

I see no reason to worry. Even if something happens - there is medicine. Many men became impotent and doctors createdviagra. Very soon, we generally will not think about health. Only need will be money
