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.

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

I guess it's not so much a deep worry but I am a member on about 4 other forms and one BOTL posted a thread on how upset he was that due to a non mouth throat or teeth issue his doctor told him had to quit herfing and it got me thinking. That and I was curious about the risks of a smoker who just for lack of a better term just mouths it vs mouthing and retrohaling. When I "learned" how to retrohale a few years back from Doc at Stogie Fresh it was a whole new ball game and I could not imagine smoking without retrohaling.

I hope that makes sense.

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.

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.

Thanks, but we're all on a cigar forum because we're not trying to quit smoking.

Oh, and buh bye.

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

Yup, I saw the post in "What Cigar did you smoke" and thought we had a new member.

Not so much .

Love the edit though.
