Are there any real risks in cigars?

[aznman]

Just wondering if theres a good chance of danger of any sort if u were to smoke some cigars over the weekend only; not inhaling. all of the statistics i have seen compare the average man to a smoker who lights up 1-2 cigars a day. comments?

A lot less than cigarettes.
Most of the bad sh1t associated with smoking comes from the crap they put into cigarettes. The paper is bad too.
Inhaling smoke from a burning tobacco leaf really isnt THAT horrible.
The indians did it for a long time.

For reference, cloves are really bad too.

there is a risk of mouth cancer and a few other problems, but if you enjoy it.....

 

Yes. Mouth and throat cancer can still occur even if you don't inhale the smoke.

Basically, smoking regularly is not a good idea, whether it's cigars or cigarettes.

 

[nmcglennon]

you aren't supposed to inhale cigars...

i say, who cares though

While I wouldn't want to contract mouth or throat cancer I do enjoy a good cigar occasionally. Probably less than once a month though.

tell that to your doctor when he announces your cancer.

It's like the cancer rate in rats if they are fed saccharin..

Don't smoke 50 per day - you should be OK.

 

You would run the chance of some sort of mouth or throat cancer, obviously. Though not very high risk.
Cigars contain quite a bit of nicotine as well.

You only live once, enjoy your good cigars.

You're either retarded (French) or just plain stupid (Canadian), but I like your way of thinking!

I thought other things involved the tar and the various other chemicals present?

Smoking a cigar, the nicotine is generally absorbed through the mouth rather than the lungs like cigarettes.

Dude, calm down. He has a legitimate point. Yes, smoking ANYTHING, whether it is tobacco, or marijuana, or alfafa, is unhealthy. But the majority of the toxins in cigarettes are from the additives. Smoking pure tobacco is a lot safer than smoking cigarettes, even if it is still unsafe.
