Cigarette smokers smoke a pack a day, all throughout the day.

Cigar smokers may have 1 cigar every 2 weeks.[/quote]

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

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

Here you go. Not safer at all.

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

Then why don't you find a study that says what you want it to say instead of the one you posted? Nobody but you said it was "safer" so not even sure what point you're making.[/quote]

Really? Could have fooled me with this statement, "Is it though? I would seem that an occasional cigar is not the same as a pack a day habit."[/quote]

You article does not say an occasional cigar =  a pack a day.[/quote]

I don't think you know how to read. It clearly says that cigar smoking is not safer than cigarette smoking. Quantities do not matter. I'm not sure why you're confused, honestly. [/quote]

Nobody said one was safer. And it discusses usage, if you bothered to read. Heavy or regular usage. What is heavy or regular cigar smoking? Why don't you tell us?[/quote]

Again, you did! You can try to backtrack now, but you clearly seemed to think that smoking cigarettes regularly is less safe than smoking an occasional cigar. It's just not true.

NP. In your link, the *lowest* level of smoking they studied was daily cigarette smoking. I’m sure even you understand that the occasional cigar, let’s say once a month or less often, is not going to cause the same damage as daily smoking of either cigarettes or cigars.[/quote]

OK please post a study that confirms what you said. [/quote]

It’s common sense. In the same way that drinking a cocktail once a month is not going to have the same effects as chugging vodka all day every day.

You know this, but you refuse to admit it because you’re trying to win an argument on the internet.[/quote]

[b]ahhhhhhh so your "common sense" guy. [/b]Your arguments make so much sense now. I'll trust the science, but thanks. [/quote]

Not sure who “common sense guy” is, but your response definitely tracks with what I already assumed about your level of intelligence.[/quote]

I posted studies from the Mayo Clinic and the National Cancer Institute. You came back with "common sense." We are not the same.[/quote]
