I smoke a cigar or cloved ciggarettes about once a month. I inhale the ciggarettes and just puff the cigars. Once a month i will have either 1 cigar, or maybe 3 cloved cigs in 1 sitting. My question to you is, is this bad for my health? Am i more likely to get cancer then if i didn't smoke at all?
Make sure you know what your talking about before you post. I know half of you are going to say that i will get cancer so don't do it. Really? from 1 cigar a month? I find that very hard to believe. I think the affects of smoking go away with a certain period of time, so one a month will not "build" up into a problem. I honestly need a doctors opinion on this but maybe some help from the public will be good as well.
Please don't post saying that i will get addicted! i know these facts already as iv'e done alot of research on the topic. Don't post saying the kinds of cancer i can get, i know that already. I simply want to know -
IS 1 CIGAR A MONTH BAD FOR MY HEALTH~~

That is one answer that im very sick of hearing honestly. I want to know actualy statistics whether or not its bad or not for you to have a cigar a month. If a doctor comes on and says that it's bad for this and this reasons, i will be very happy with that answer.

It's difficult to determine what the risks are with such moderation. I'm not a doctor, and this is just my opinion. I did hear of a study, once, that even 'weekend' smokers put themselves at considerable risk. I would think you are less of a 'weekend' smoker and more of an 'occasional' smoker; you risk is probably (but don't quote me) the same as a person around second hand smoke. I think even a doctor would agree that the risks are hard to determine with such behavior, but with the evidence of what smoking does to daily smokers he/she would probably still advice against it.
Anyway, good luck.

Anything you put into your body can be bad for you, moderation or not. And cancer is not exclusive to smoking. That is a personal chance you want to take but when cancer strikes I am sure it will not be in moderation.

Very good advice, thank you. Yes I believe that every doctor would advise against it due to the unknown. I really wish I could find the exact answer im looking for such as ,"1 cigar a month does this to you, or 2 does that to you.... so on and so forth" but i realize that answer may not exist. I will keep searching though. If anyone has some more feedback id be glad to hear it

Why don't you ask your Doctor..... I suspect that this could be the type of question that you ask 3 Doctors and may get 3 different opinions.

This is exactly what i was thinking. I think it's a decision i must make for myself based upon my own research. Honestly, smoking is not important enough to me to possibly sacrifice my health, but i do enjoy smoking a cigar with friends from time to time.
