As long as you don't inhale cigars, is it okay to smoke them?

Question

how many would you have to smoke to develope cancer, if you even could?

Answer 1

Its ok to smoke cigars.

There is no way to determine if you can even develop cancer.

Milton Berle smoked cigars every day from 13 until he died at 93.  George Burns smoked until he died at 100.

Answer 2

Because you don't inhale, it's less hazardous than smoking cigarettes, but it isn't safe. Among other things, it can cause cancer of the jaw.

Hard to pin a number on how much you can get away with, I know the figures for cigarettes but not for cigars. A web search might help you out. But -- if I wanted a nicotine high with minimal harm, I think I'd use the Commit Lozenges. I used those to get off cigarettes. No smoke, no tobacco, no cancer, but you still get high just as you would with chewing tobacco. They taste bad the first day, but that goes away.

Answer 3

Zero, from secondhand smoke. And it's likely oral cancer in some form, for the nicotine narcotic addict themself, getting the drug by absorption. The drug mimics the satisfaction brain enzyme, which the plant developed to stop the bugs from eating while the toxic poison aspect of the nicotine kills the bug, being 100 times more poisonous than Cobra venom. Notice how the addicts act sick and happy at the same time. And they cannot feel satisfaction anymore, as their brain has stopped making that enzyme. They have to smoke after s*x and pretend the s*x was satisfying! It is unclear if they stopped smoking, if their normal levels of brain enzyme will ever return. Nicotine is sold in food stores as non-narcotic. Isn't that a criminal act? Regards, Larry.

Answer 4

how do you smoke without inhaling?

Answer 5

Even if you don't inhale, a lot of the carcinogens will find their way into your lungs and stomach; and you could still get mouth cancer.
