No doctor is going to tell you that tobacco use is a good idea when dealing with a chronic condition, so keep that in mind. They have to tell you it's best to stop, it's their job. but in this case, hell, even your doctor seems to think that moderate cigar consumption shouldn't be a problem. I say give it a try and if you feel it is negatively impacting your health, then it's time to re-evaluate your smoking habits. Otherwise I agree with Icehog. Enjoying life is sometimes the best medicine.

All the best to you! I'd agree - see how cigars affect your condition. Hopefully they will help- or at least not exacerbate it. Prayers and Blessings to you, brother!

Far from a doctor here as well, but hold that quote dear to my heart, and agree with those guys.

Although it is probably bad advice and will deservedly get me chastised, I say it's the quality of life, not the quantity. Then again, I've been pushing my luck for 40 something years.....

My wife has relapsing/remitting MS and this is the first we've heard of tobacco being out.
As so eloquently stated above, the relaxing factor is probably far greater then the smoking damage

Good thoughts
