Why does cigar smoking seem way more socially acceptable than cigarette smoking

[Anonymous]

If anything, cigar smoking is more harmful than cigarette smoking, but it seems a lot more acceptable, event almost celebrated, especially among men.
Smoking cigarettes seems to be frowned upon, but a bunch of guys getting on the patio to smoke cigars after dinner is OK?
I can't understand the rationale.

It’s not. Both are gross.

But cigars are seen as an occasional indulgence while cigarettes are smoked multiple times a day.

Because it's not very frequent. Cigarette smokers smoke a pack a day, all throughout the day.

Cigar smokers may have 1 cigar every 2 weeks.

Me too! I don't like cigarette smoke, but cigar smoke makes me physically sick.

Health wise, it's about the same, though. Cigar smokers are just kidding themselves.

I implore you to stop smoking cigars.

Is it though? I would seem that an occasional cigar is not the same as a pack a day habit.

I wish pipe smoking would came back in style.

No, they are both gross. As is smoking marijuana.

Cigar smoking is klassy with a K. I mock you if you do it.

This is a 1:1 comparison. It says the more cigars the higher the risk. We're talking about an occasional cigar, not smoking a pack a days worth of cigars.

DP. None of that actually addresses whether or not you get exposed to less of the harmful substances by smoking the occasional cigar vs daily cigarette usage. That doesn't address the effect of the dosage at all, which obviously matters.

No, it's not, because that would be impossible to do. No one smokes 10-20 cigars per day. It is to inform people like you who fool themselves into thinking that just because you don't smoke a cigar every day, it's safer than cigarettes. There is also virtually no difference between those who smoke 3 cigarettes per day vs. those who smoke 15.

I dispute the premise of the question.
