Dang Phil you just made me remember something (sorry to hear about you having to go to the hospital). My cousin is a cardio vasc. surgeon (and he does other stuff too pretty amazing guy) and he smokes more cigars then I do. I would think that a doctor who deals with the heart, lungs, etc. wouldn't do it if it were that bad for you.

Docs are people, too. Like all people everywhere, they don't always do what's best for their health. I'm not saying I think cigars are terribly dangerous. If I thought that, I obviously wouldn't smoke them. I'm just saying I don't think the argument from what doctors do really gets you very far.

Very true I should have qualified it in saying that he is very health conscious (sp) and don't think that he would do anything that would be terribly dangerous. Esp. considering that he has to maintain with military standards. LOL kind of funny he keeps healthy so he can smoke cigars and put his life on the line (so to speak) in the military. With that said I would agree with your post for the most part.

Krieg is right. My Dr. questioned me about my smoking habits and I told him cigars only, he looked at me and said, Oh, OK. hey if the Doc says it is alright, I'm good, right?

Absolutely! If you're not following his advice then you're just wasting your money!
