A member asked:
What do you suggest if i am 18 yrs old and have smokes a couple of cigarets, just for social occasions. i kinda wanted to have a cigar, how bad are they for your health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very bad: Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical, and the adverse effects of tobacco products are well known to everyone. Even occassional use can lead to addiction. Is your recreational use worth the risk?
