How often do you smoke? Do you ever worry about what too many does to your health?

I smoke two per day, three max. I don't worry too bad about what it does currently, but the long run is a different thing. I know smokers that have had a smoking existence for 25/30 years and they are healthy as a horse.

Cigars are nothing like cigarettes. Therefore, the long term affect is much more different.

What are your thoughts?

I am more in the one or two a week category. So on a sliding scale I think I'm OK. You on the other hand.....you're gonna die!

I smoke as much as possible. 2-3 is an ideal day. What ever comes my way, bring it on. 🇨🇮

I usually smoke 2-3 a day on the weekends (Fri nite, Sat, Sun) with maybe 1 or 2 during the week while in the car. Thinking of reducing it a bit so that I can continue to enjoy them as I get older without having any concerns.

Lots of Cubans who have literally smoked cigars since the diapers came off live well into their 80's and 90's.

I don't sweat it...….enjoy life,3-7 cigars per week,probably that many bowls of baccy as well, with Bourbon or Scotch.

I figure the benefits of relaxation/stress relief outweigh possible negative effects. Also helps those around me. Whichever arsehole at work that causes my final heart attack and/or spontaneous brain explosion will be coming with me

No . I'm definitely not in insurance. It was just a question. I think about it often.

My main concern is my teeth and gums. And I do see how it could cause throat cancer because towards the end of the cigar it feels like when you're chewing snuff and swallow some of your spit.

I only smoke outside but for anyone who smokes indoors without great ventilation, you can't say "it's not as bad as cigarettes" because you are breathing it in. Cigars have nitrosimines (sp) from the fermentation that are not contained in cigarette smoke.

I smoke cigarettes and cigars so as of now I am screwed

Yuck. Whats the point of smoking cigars if you like cigarettes? I never understood this...

I guess to each it's own.

I worry about my mouth - gums and teeth as well. I do tend to brush more than the average person per day to avoid plaque and build up. My teeth are still perfect as of now... But when I get older... I hope this doesn't change.

I really like nicotine and tobacco in various forms. I used to like Skoal straight too back in the day but chewing has too many drawbacks.

I would like to transition to only cigars soon but they're kind of inconvenient sometimes compared to five minutes for a cigarette.

I roll my own so the price isn't an issue
