Dr. right or wrong

I would find another Doc. A "mere layman" will not change an anti-cigar physicians viewpoint around, and if a doc is dead set in his unfounded opinions, I think I would start shopping for one that was more reasonable and less Chicken Little. Many docs forget that you can essentially "fire" them, even if you have been going to the same practice for years. That arrogance, coupled with a disregard for some acceptable low risk tobacco use would be enough for me.

My Doc has never said a word. He's a VA doc so that may be good or bad depending on your out look

He has expressed concern over my dipping and chewing but not once had he ever brought up quitting my cigar smoking although I always report it as well during my annual.
