  • Is Smoking 1 Cigar Per Week Bad For You? In this video, we try to get to the bottom of this important question.
    So, is smoking a cigar 'bad' for you? Can you reduce the potential health risks by limiting the number of cigars you smoke? Deep down, we all know that smoking isn't good for us. Everything in moderation, right?
    Smoking cigars to some is a daily activity. To others, they are saved for special occasions. Perhaps you are even guilty of increasing your cigar-smoking habit whilst on holiday.
    Hear my thoughts on cigar smoking whilst we look through a couple of articles and take a look at some stats on the effects of living in London and junk food.

    I smoke a Churchill-size Cuban cigar once a week. For me it’s like going to a psychotherapist for 90 minutes. It’s my only way of meditation and yoga. Yes, I know the risks, but without this 90 minutes once a week, sitting on my porch, listening to Jazz and Blues, I’d be spending this money and time on a therapist or drugs maybe. I’m 50 and have had no health issues so far. I often travel to London and Paris, and for me there is nothing like sitting and reflecting on life while watching the blue smoke from a Havana cigar…

      Far less risk than an alcoholic drink per week.
      Far less risk than a donuts, American fake bread. Or other surgery crap lol.
      Far less risk than social medias effect on the brain.
      In fact. A cigar a week or 1-3 per week is probably good for you. Increase cognitive function, been proven to decrease Alzheimer’s and boosts testosterone.

    Despite the nicotine levels in cigars, I've never actually heard of anyone who is addicted to smoking cigars. But I'm sure we all know people who addicted to smoking cigarettes. I would say smoking cigars is more of a hobby-lifestyle, than an actual addiction. Would I miss it if I stopped doing it one day? I sure will. But would I go through withdrawals like long-time cigarette smokers do? Nope.

      Cigarettes are addictive because they’re pumped full of god know what to make you buy more. They aren’t even made from tabacco as i understand the definition.. Cigars are are the real thing and as a result must be smoked in the correct fashion.
      Best people focus on their generally terrible dietary habits..I.e. smoking a couple of cigars is the least of your worries!

      At first, I thought I could get by just having one cigar a week. It's now one every other day. If I could afford it, it'd be at least once or twice per day. I love them, but sometimes I feel trapped.

    The title I was looking for lol
    As it stick to me.
    28 years old
    Smoked weed for about 5 years daily, quit, clean 2 years.
    Now I recently got into Cigars. Only had a handful my whole life and this month I’ve smoked 4, never finished any.
    Really like learning the history and how they are made and I can appreciate the culture.
    Once a week can’t possibly be bad but you never know. I did read a study revelry that was saying smoking a cigar or two a week resulted inconclusive that they wouldn’t say it can lead to this or that. Idunno if i stick to one a week or less I believe I will be fine. I’ll let you know lol

    I smoke one cigar(Julietta Wide Churchill) on a Saturday evening with a real coffee as I don't drink alcohol. As everything if in moderation, then the dangers of cigars is very small. However, the danger is there, but I keep extremely fit so that is dangerous with injuries, etc. Life is full of dangers so be aware and then make a choice

    The beauty of cigars is that you need time to enjoy them. I only smoke 2 per month but i always make sure i have enough time and the right scenario. Cigarette smokers are addicts who need their fix no matter what. Cigars require time and patience and are meant to be enjoyed

    The warnings against cigars and pipes ( my favorite) are so emotional that there's no way to get a simple answer,,,guess what smoking 1 cigar a week is way safer than 7 per week, simple answer,,,if you're still paranoid, don't ever smoke ever, shit!!!

      @@frankmilano actually man i dont know that for sure. and if your only smoking one a week sounds like you got good willpower. If you can get by with only smoking one a week, maybe just cut back even more to one a month. I mean realistically one cigar a week I really doubt that is going to cause you to get sick. I have personally known multiple people who got sick from smoking. But truth be told, they were the type of people who smoked cigarettes all day, and even got up to take smoke breaks at night from sleep. Therefore Its very unlikely your going to get sick from one a week. But if your only smoking one a week it means your not hooked to the nicotine. So why not cut back even further, and just do like one ever 2 weeks? Just a thought friend.

    I smoke a cigar once or twice a week. I have noted if I do it more often I start to have this anxiety feeling prevalent through the day. I could only imagine smoking cigarettes daily and throughout the day how on edge I would be… my stomach actually grows and I get hungrier when I smoke lol man I love a good cigar though. I really wish I knew somebody who just unbiasedly gave us the medical/scientific facts.

    • @jedwhassell
      @jedwhassell  7 месяцев назад +3

      Let's be honest here. The only thing we should be breathing is fresh air! If he is exposed to toxic gasses and fumes, smoking cigars won't help his already bad lungs.
      If he knows it upsets you as you care for his health and he continues. I question if he values your opinion at all. He doesn't sound like much of a team player to me!

    • @frankrichards6985

      As a non-smoker, I understand your point.
      But as a former chemist, I would worry much more about all those chemicals he is breathing on daily basis.
      Before quitting his cigars, I would suggest to quit his job and find another one that is much less toxic.
