I smoke too much..

[Poriggity]

When you had the free time Scott, you were smoking close to 5 per day if not more.

I won't dispute that point.. In fact I was dong 6-7 per day on my days off when I had the time. If I had the time, I would be doing it again. I miss it. At this point, I'd be happy with 1 per day.

17 is a lot, the most I have done was 13 I think. It was a bachlor party and I started at 7am on the drive down and stopped around 4 am. I felt like crap the next day. I could not taste anything.

I usually smoke 2 - 3 a day. Coronas and Robusto only because that is the size I prefer. I guess it all comes down to how much tobacco you consume and not the number of the cigars.

Still...17? I would think smoking 17 Clup sized smokes in one day would be a lot.

Either way Kumar. If you are dong that on a regular basis, you have 2 things.

1. toomuch spending money
2. a deathwish...we all know cigars are not healthy, so why tempt fate?

[dannysguitar]

I don't think I can do anything 17 times a day...Especially push ups.

I don't think I can do anything 17 times a day...

I can almost stay awake for 17 hours.

During that same event, I smoked 10 cigars. I tossed #10 half way through the stick. It was a Don Pepin Garcia Blue Label Churchill. I did not smoke a cigar the following day.

I borrowed this from a post by Doclogic...

"The National Institutes of Health, with the National Cancer Institute, published its long awaited Monograph number 9, Cigars, Health Effects and Trends in February, 1998. This publication is to date the most complete compilation of cigar research and health risks. NCI's conclusions regarding cigars and health are easily contested. But the papers they present should interest any student of the heath risks of cigar smoking. This monograph is highly recommended.

The relative risk values are the relative risk of occurrence of a certain disease compared to the general non-smoking population (which is considered a standard of "1"). It should be emphasized that the National Cancer Institute states that a "relative risk of less than 2 are considered small and are usually difficult to interpret." The NCI report then is encouraging to the moderate cigar smoker. According to the NCI the relative risk ratios of death are all less than 2 for smokers limiting cigar consumption from 1 to 2 a day for: 1) all causes of death, 2) lung cancer, 3) pancreatic cancer, 4) emphysema, and 5) coronary artery disease. Cancers of the oral cavity and larynx have higher risk ratios but are intimately associated with heavy alcohol use. "

I have been asked lately by a member what I thought about the effects of cigar smoking. This is the thread I was looking for. Basically if you keep it to one or two the health risks are minimal. At 17 a day, you know you are way past the norm and well into and past the danger zone. Sure today you feel immortal. We all did in out twenties. Trust me. It wont last. Its your life but wow you can run stop signs and get away with it many times before the semi hits you dude.

Wow, that's pretty awesome info... :applause:

 

[MichiganM]

Dude? 17? Seriously? Umm, I don't even know what to say. I didn't even know that was possible. That's like smoking every minute for every hour for 17 hours straight. You should call Guiness or something.

 

[oldglory]

17 in one day? Holy shit. :eyequiver

Ditto :scratchhe

 

[JDP]

Also the shop we were smoking at has very poor ventilation. I had 2 but it felt like 4. More than one a day just makes my mouth raw and painful.

Ditto. I've never seen a shop like that. If Cheech and Chong would have walked in, they would have said "What the f**k".

EVen if I wanted to smoke as much as Kumar claims, I would be in bankrucptcy court in a very short time.

Let's say 15 cigars a day @ $5 each (I'm trying to be minimal)
= $75 per day or $2250 a month. That's more than my mortgage payment, and could buy a pretty nice house in Rialto.

The most I have done is 7 or 8 in a full day for 3 days while Herfing with the BOTL, I couldn't taste anything for week....Just cut back
