cigars and health

quantim0 · 12-12-2010, 05:30 PM

You're a big boy now. You can decide whether or not a risk is acceptable to you. I smoke cigars because I enjoy it. There is a potential health hazard, albeit small. However, I as a grown man have made the decision that the enjoyment I get out of cigars is worth the risk.

yes, well me being a "big boy" now has no bearing weather or not smoking is actually harmful..which was the entirety of my post.

As with any smoking, risks do go up with imbibing. The stats show the risk to be minimal, in a statistical sense. In order for it to be zero for some, it must be above average for others. You may or may not be in a group at the extremes of the averages. Caveat Emptor and all that.

Of course its harmful, most things worth doing are. You will increase your risk of certain cancers by smoking.

Yes, the weather outside is frightful, but whether cigars are harmful is a question that can be argued ad nauseum. I suggest you spend some time here before you start getting a pissy attitude about someone who is responding to your question! Or perhaps you aren't as big a boy as surmised.....

Well, thanks for everyone’s' thoughts

Especially for Hotreds input on semantics of all things!

And yes that was said in jest.

I'm headed over to my gun forum to asks if guns kill people, or people kill guns.
