They only unbiased report on tobacco is the original 1964 Surgeon General's report (when millions more smoked than does today) and it concludes that cigar smokers mortality rates are almost identical to those of non-smokers. Pipe smokers live longer than non-smokers and it's cigarette smokers mortality rates were the only ones that were significantly above non-smokers mortality rates.

I firmly believe that tobacco, in and of itself, is not as harmful as, say, alot of the things we eat. It's the crap and chemicals that Big Tobacco puts in cigarettes that manipulate nicotine levels that should be the major concern.

As for second hand smoke causing anything, not true at all. Don't believe tha hype! http://web.archive.org/web/200211282...08/wtob08.html

Once she understands how our community works and how generous and loving to one another we are, how can she reject such a great thing. If there is one thing I can take away from my online experience in the cigar community it's that these people are the salt of the earth and are the most generous and kind people you will ever hope to meet. True friends. That's hard to find. It doesn't matter if you are a dirt poor college student or a millionaire, we have cigars in common and can relate to each other without hesitation. I have friends all over the world because of cigars and I thank God everyday for it.
