[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t most medical advice based on words like “in moderation”? A lot of anything is bad. Using less of a bad thing would be preferable to more. [/quote]

There is no such thing as smoking in moderation FFS. [b]Are you saying that smoking cigars occasionally is totally fine and carries no risk of all sorts of cancer?[/b] I can't even believe we are debating this in the year 2025.[/quote]

No one is saying that.  What we're all saying is smoking one cigar every two weeks is less bad for you than smoking one pack of cigarettes every day.  Yes, both types of smoking are bad for you, even at those different rates, though one is worse than the other in that particular scenario.

As an aside, I'd be willing to bet smoking a cigar is worse for you than smoking a cigarette for the same number of minutes each day (or some other comparative metric), though obviously that's not the same scenario most of us are discussing.

In any case, smoking is gross, though cigarettes generally are seen more as low-class than cigars. [/quote]

But no one can scientifically claim that. Can you point me to a study of health outcomes of people who have smoked cigars every week/two weeks compared to those who have smoked regularly for the same length of time and tell me that they are different? What is the rate of cancer for each?[/quote]
