[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.[/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]

The amount of ignorance on this thread is amazing.

In the first place, there is a clear health difference between smoking 3 versus 15 cigarettes a day. In general, doctors measure cigarette usage by the 20 pack-year metric standard, which is equivalent to a pack a day over 20 years or the equivalent, which can half a pack a day over 40 years and so forth. It is when you have had a 20 pack year history that they recommend screening for cancer. Plenty of smokers never smoked a pack a day or even half a pack a day. It's a pretty well studied field.

Second, the casual cigar smokers aren't inhaling. They just puff and exhale. Cigars aren't meant to be smoked like cigarettes. Do some still inhale? Absolutely. But those young men puffing on cigars probably aren't.

I don't like either cigars or cigarettes but people have become extremists about them. [b]The occasional casual usage is no big deal. [/b][/quote]

I love how you claim to be so knowledgeable and then post ignorant stuff like this. [/quote]
