Are you addicted to cigars? - Page 3

Jimbo14 · 04-13-2010, 03:55 AM

I smoke 1 cigar per day and if I go without one I cant stop thinking about it. I went three days the other day and it was on my mind often. I would say that I am addicted

I don't think I'm addicted. Heck its been like 4 days, I have not even thought of smoking.

What usually stops me from smoking is not having the time to sit and enjoy a cigar. If I was addicted, I would have a whole stinky full of partially smoked cigars.

Yes I am. Thanks for asking.

If that's true, then why are you posting on the Asylum, HMMMMMM???

Kidding! Only kidding. Mostly. Well, not really.

Anywhoosit, I think that inherently, cigars contain nicotine, thus do have some potential for physical addiction at the very least. Speaking from extensive pipe experience (and limited cigar exp) it's definitely mostly a psychological addiction.

Nope, not addicted to cigars.
Most everything else, yes. I often go long periods without smoking a cigar. It's more of a fair weather bad habit than a daily bad habit. If it's nice out and I'm out in it, I love having a cigar with me. Once the garden comes into play, I don't smoke as much because I don't smoke around the plants. (Tobacco mosaic virus tears them up.)
Cigar smoking is a very special treat for me, and I work really hard to keep it that way. I want to enjoy it for a long time to come.

No. I've been addicted to cigs and chew. When I was without cig/dip I'd think about it constantly. I would get headaches and become irritable. I can go days and weeks without cigars but I'd prefer to keep it at days

No

jkim05 · 04-13-2010, 01:21 PM

nope, sometimes I go months without a cigar, and I regularly go weeks without smoking at all.

tupacboy · 04-13-2010, 10:39 PM

no... i smoke on weekends only usually... need more friends who smoke... i have a bunch of friends who quit cigarettes and are scared to give cigars a real try because they feel it would lead back to cigarettes...

Yes. I am addicted.

Superbad · 05-05-2010, 11:08 PM

Nope. Now shopping for cigars, yes I am addicted.

akumushi · 05-06-2010, 09:24 AM

Not to cigars, but this forum maybe

akumushi · 05-06-2010, 10:23 AM

Yeah, I think the big thing is, you don't get addicted to cigars, you get addicted to nicotine, and as a nicotine delivery device, cigars are cumbersome, time consuming and have a very slow delivery system, so they simply are not condusive to addictive behavior. If I were addicted to nicotine, I would just start smoking cigarettes again rather than trying to milk my fix out of an expensive luxury product. Cigars are for relaxing and enjoying the flavor of a quality product, about slow, reflective time alone or with friends, they are not about a cheap fix.

I don't really know if I am, since I am addicted to cigarettes I am not sure....I am trying to quit smoking cigarettes though, down to 8 a day from 20 a day
