woody, sorry, but your reply is preposterous. How can you compare smoking three or four packs of cigs a day to one cigar a day? Or also 7 cigars a day to one? Haven't you heard of the threshold? When it comes to cigarettes say, what is dangerous, one pack a day, a half pack a day, two cigarettes a day, five cigarettes a week, five a year? Sooner or later you get to a point where it isn't a big deal. And I don't believe that if you smoke a little you will gradually smoke more, I don't by the addiction argument at all. I was never a heavy smoker, at the most I would smoke ten cigarettes a day, these days I smoke one maybe two cigarettes a day in the afternoon. I firmly believe things done in moderation are not harmful, I also firmly believe my diet will kill me before anything tobacco related will that is why I am trying to eat more healthy and encouraging my wife also. But don't lump me in the camp of the 3 pack a day smoker. There is nothing left really for me to compromise, I used up most of my cards when I got the Caprice ex police car I wanted. I am not henpecked, I will not stop smoking a cigar a day, period.
