Yes: Yes, smoking 1 cigar a day for 6 years ( 6x365= 2190 cigars) could give you risk to have oral cancer. If you smoke cigars and also drink alcohol- the risk will be significantly higher. Please consider to quit smoking cigar and cigarette.

Possibly: Tobacco use (smoking, chewing, cigar, cigarette) all have an increased risk for the development of oral, throat, and lung cancer. This risk decreases after quitting. However, there is a strong association between amount of tobacco used per day and length of time used--so the sooner you stop the quicker your risk will return to a lower rate.

Yes: Even non-smokers can get mouth cancer and any use of tobacco increases the risk. Hpv infection is also a risk factor.
