I really can't see a few cigars a week to be that bad for you. I workout 4-5 days a week and smoke 2-3 cigars a week. It hasn't had an efect on my blood pressure or heart rate. Maybe 30-40 a week will be detrimental, but I have seen a few guys smoke a ton of them each week and they still smoke them in their 80's and even 90's. I think moderation is the key to everything, INHO

I smoke a cigar maybe twice a month, so while the risks are a thing I am aware of, its not a thing that really frightens me terrible. At the same time, I suppose that there is always the chance of being a statistic? I dunno, it'll seem clearer when I sit down with my nice Drew Estate Clean Robusto.

All I have to say is,…. how old was the cigar-loving George Burns when he died?

Honestly, I enjoy cigars, the relaxed pace and breathing usually accompanied with them.

As a previous poster mentioned, you've misinterpreted the statistics of the study. The odds given report how likely you are to experience any given cancer relative to a non-smoker. So, the person who smokes one to two cigars a day has 1.39 times (39%) the odds of getting emphysema as someone who never smoked. The person who smokes five or more cigars a day increases their odds of larynx cancer by 26.03 times, or 2,603%.

I'm a smoker, but these numbers should not be taken lightly.

Cigar Jack,

What Insurance Comapny? I smoke 2-3 cigars per week, so what if I say I am not a smoker and quite a couple weeks before an Insurance physical?

[...] When I tell people that I’m both a runner and a cigar enthusiast, I get some strange looks. Perhaps that isn’t too surprising, especially given the general public’s flawed perception that stogies are horribly dangerous and debilitating. [...]

I quit smoking a year ago and noticed almost immediate physical and vocal improvements. I smoke 3-4 cigars a week and still my blood looks good and vocal stamina (I sing in a band) remains strong. Thanks for the article.

I had a physical a few years ago and the doctor asked if I smoked. I said I never smoked a cigarette in my life but I smoke about 3 to 5 cigars a week. He basically just shrugged his shoulders and continued on with the physical.
