How hazardous is cigar smoking to my health? -
I new to the cigar smoking scene here is some information to help you answer the question.I don-t inhale.
I don-t smoke too often although this is the first week i started and I had three but that was because I wanted to see what kind of cigar I liked I-ll probably cut down to in the summer months once a week at most more likely twice a month
In my research i found i prefer bolder cigars as apposed to mild ones
just a comment I am not going to stop smoking cigars I thoroughly enjoy it so please don-t try and convince me to stop I just want to know the health risks (for me) including all the factors I listedYou don-t inhale... ok, you can still get mouth and throat cancer. I am a smoker, so I-m not judging you... holding the smoke in your mouth (as opposed to sucking into your lungs) creates the possibility of cancer forming in the mouth.
Also, bad breath, mouth sores, yellow teeth, headaches, fainting, and if you are male you can shoot certain cells through your sperm which can cause vaginal cancers (this comes straight from my gyno)....
I think that-s all...Ella was doing great till she got to the nonsense about cancer passed in the sperm - boy! do some folks hate smoking! BTW, No one here that I know of tries to convince anybody about anything. I just try to pass along what I know about cancer since I have it. I am also a smoker and the fact of life is that smoking causes cancer. It-s that simple. Not just lung cancer but oral cancer and second hand smoke is dangerous to the people around the smoker. Again, simple facts.I just posted this same answer to someone-s question on cigar smoking so in case you couldn-t find it I-ll post it here for you too.
In your case, you are still having the smoke come in contact with your mucosal lining of the mouth, so instead of lung cancer, mouth cancer is what you would be concerned with.
The problem with smoking is that each time you inhale the smoke into your lungs you-re introducing carcinogens that have the potential to damage your cells and the DNA of those cells. An accumulation of DNA damage brought about by the carcinogens in the smoke can lead to mutated DNA in genes which you don-t want mutated like those involved in mismatch repair or encode for proteins for cell cycle regulation. Something like that happening could lead to those abnormal cells to proliferate uncontrollably and metastasize to form adenomas and neoplasia which in time can invade your other tissues and spread. This is why you don-t want to be smoking. You won-t get cancer immediately, but you are accumulating more and more DNA mutations which will ultimately give you cancer.
An easy way to think of it:
Genotype of Your body when you are born and healthy-- +/+
A smoking event can make your +/+ -------- +/- --------- -/-
Genotype of CancerZ------ -/-
Every smoking event can contribute another hit in changing your normal genotype. The full cancer cannot form until enough hits have occurred. That-s why you see cancers down the road in life. Given enough time and exposure that leads to DNA mutations, everyone would eventually die from some form of cancer.smoking is injurious to health.
t.b., lung cancer, mouth ulcers, etc.
