Dr. right or wrong

I quit smoking cigarettes almost 20 years ago, cold turkey. I did smoke cigars during the time period I smoked cigs too. When I quit, I was tobacco free for over 10 years. But I missed the taste of tobacco. I didn't want to smoke cigarettes again and I never have. I can enjoy cigars a few times a week and feel like I am minimizing the risk, but I do believe there is a risk. Cigarette smokers have a high rate of heart attacks and strokes, but I've never read any statistics on cigar smokers.

My doctor is totally against any kind of tobacco use, and is not a fan of drinking alcohol at all. A glass of white wine once in awhile is probably healthy, but people have difficultly sticking with moderation. That's where we get into trouble.


Cheers,
