I&#x27;ve never smoked cigarettes but cigars I have. They make so many claims about how addictive nicotine is, and yet cigars are supposed to have so much more nicotine than cigarettes, here I am a year without smoking a cigar (maybe I&#x27;ve had one or two in the past year, if anything) and I&#x27;m probably not going through what a cigarette smoker goes through, and I&#x27;ve gone times where I&#x27;ve had a cigar daily. Winston Churchill smoked daily and lived to be around 90. So I&#x27;m not an &quot;expert&quot; but a lot of what they say doesn&#x27;t add up with what I&#x27;ve lived and it seems others have lived. Cigarettes aren&#x27;t pure tobacco usually anyway, they&#x27;re full of &quot;tobacco sheets&quot;, just like Coca Cola isn&#x27;t as full of sugar as it is &quot;Corn Syrup.&quot; My uncle on the other hand smokes daily for quite a few years, and I never see him have the same symptoms other cigarette smokers usually do. The trick is probably the fact we don&#x27;t inhale the cigar smoke into our lungs, enough of the smoke will get in there regardless.
