Is cigar dangerous to one who smokes it occasionally ?

Of course: It should be no surprise that all forms of tobacco are harmful to your health. Personal counseling with your doctor may help you quit smoking.

Maybe.....: It is very important to ask the right question or the answer doesn't mean much. Occasionally means twice yearly or twice daily. Will you increase over time. Do you inhale it entirely or just puff in your mouth. Why do you do it anyway. Be honest. Is that reason worth the risk. It may not be dangerous, but considering all the possible down sides including its sort of nasty, why risk it
